Good call, no need to hex us.(y)
 
Sterling

City have set the benchmark for the season.
“It feels good but the important thing today was starting well as a team and getting the win and the three points,"

The England winger told CityTV.
"That’s what we’ve done and it’s a great way to start the season.

“It’s always good to score goals but at the same time you want to get a run of clean sheets going as well and long may it continue."

Asked if he is targeting the golden boot this season, the 24-year-old said: “It’s early days. It’s about enjoying it and keeping winning – that’s the most important thing!"

I think this is the one that led to Jesus's disallowed goal.

Hmmm, I guess Sterling's shoulder is just ahead, if they're going to apply that consistently then no complaints.

There has been a couple of flags going up very early in this game and the Liverpool game where the decision looked really tight, one against Norwich last night and one against Sterling first half today, no replays on either.

I thought the idea was when they're tight calls leave the flag down and let the technology decide if a goal is scored.

No worries......but I have read it several times and cannot find anything that refers to an encroaching defending player kick the ball. The chart at the bottom simply states that if there is encroachment by a defending player and the penalty is saved them it is retaken.

Personally I think the keeper had both feet off the line as well.

That's how it should work, but I think they have been instructed otherwise.

The keeper coming out is a common thing which is rarely enforced.
