Does this mean that we will lose, or could we not somehow be in charge of our own destiny by not playing like a collection of cockwombles?

Refereeing incompetence has a huge impact on results, whether you play like cockwombles or not.

No it means we will come second.
 
Ok, slightly off piste - but if it's not the officials that affect the result then which Liverpool players will be the ones to target Merlin and Aguero with sly kicks?

Alternatively Mr Kipling could grab the game by the scruff of the neck and for once we might not wait until going a goal behind before waking up and putting in a shift.

 
Oh if he's fit my money's on Skrtel for the Kick the Sh*t Out of Sergio Aguero Award. No other candidates submitted their applications in time.

Not giving the opposition a head start is a sound idea. I thought we had given up that tactic.

Since it didn't work against the Super Foxes and the Spuds then one would hope so, although I'm not particularly optimistic.

Perhaps the Toure's will square up in the centre circle - that is if Mr Kipling can summon up the energy.

Or maybe Otamendi can suddenly collapse as though hit by a bolt of lightening and get Sturridge sent off. We are not without options of our own...
 
I think we will win, myself, Michael Oliver or not....the PL game may be a bit dodgy though.... but we WILL beat the bin dippers in one of the matches ..... COME ON CITY....
 
Michael Oliver will be under the spotlight and will behave himself, otherwise if he makes a mess of it he'll probably be dropped for his next appointment, similar to Clattenburg.
 
Just a question, are there any top ref's in the prem, cause they all appear to be blind incompetents, or bent.
