Manchester City v Aston Villa Match Thread - Wed 20th Jan @ 6pm

Agbonlahor's call for Villa to be given a point is quite frankly ridiculous. If that goal was removed from counting we still lost to a penalty. The most that could be done is deducting a goal from our goals against column and likewise deducting a goal from City's goals for column.
A replay with a competent referee is the only fair and just thing to happen, but that would get laughed out of the room.

All ifs, buts and maybes. If it had been given offside, then the game would have changed. We might have gone up the other end from the ensuing free kick and scored. Or they might have won it in midfield and got a goal in the next attack.
Goals change games - even dubiously-awarded ones!
