I hate the fact that he played for us.

I am shocked it wasn't mentioned, I can't believe it, BBC are normally so impartial...
A wart on the good Redknapp name. I hope he inherits not one bit of 'Arry's jungle kingdom
It was obvious he was trying to get his body in front of Dele's but that's no excuse. It wasn't intentional or malicious but it was dangerous play and it should have been a red card.
I reckon if Dele done it, he'd have been off.
100% if it had been Dele on Pogba he'd have gone off .... VAR would probably have seen this as a Red .... and who knows VAR might just have forced MOTD to actually look at the incident ... fuckwits
If Dele had done if they would have it up before an emergency session of the United Nations by now.
But since Dean gave a yellow there’s nothing that can be done. Fucking horseshit.
That yellow card so no further action rule needs changing, amount of incompetent refs means too many players are getting away with murders.
It might not have affected the game, but instead of a 3 match ban Pogba is free to do that again next week. It's not just that game they dodge the knock on effect too. With our depleated squad guarentee it would have taken 0.0001 seconds for a red to have been given to any of our players for the same. Can't throw a spanner in the spokes of the sky teams though.
Sick of seeing it now, time and time again the sky teams have every advantage handed to them during games against every other team. Not just us. We have adhere to same standard as Brighton or Bournemouth etc, but Sky teams have slightly different rules. They can make more niggly fouls breaking up play, or those blatent drag someone down to prevent counters without getting bookings. Oftentimes if a player from the sky teams is tackled hard it's a fucking yellow, while they can still butcher away safe knowing they might get a token card in the 87th minute. Might be a bit Ott, but it certainly feels like it at times there are different rules for different teams.

I don't watch or listen to my of them.
Even 5 live is full of shit.
I found myself just watching the game on a foreign language stream or on BBC radio London
So plenty news today talking about how OGS (abbreviated because I can't be arsed to spell his name) ”masterminded” the victory against us.
There was nothing masterful about it, we dominated them second half and had more possession in the first as well, one mistake from us at the back led to them scoring and a mixture of poor finishing and world-class goalkeeping kept us from winning the game.
If Winks would have scored in the first half as well United would have melted, it’a bullshit to suggest they outplayed us or that OGS masterminded the victory, they were literally time wasting from 36 mins onwards.
This loss has pissed me off more than any other for a while, the whole narrative around our club at the moment is toxic, it’s like a complete hit job from the media to make sure this team breaks up and United can slip right into our spot.

I think he got booked for throwing the ball away anyway so technically it could be challenged.
Wish there was a way to turn commentary off, I honestly might have to start watching foreign streams as well.
Yeah I think you are right there.
So not even a booking for a savage tackle right in front of ref and linesman!
Zero protection we get.
Like woolwich having 3 players booked for diving in one match this Pogba tackle will be airbrushed as if it never happened.
What pisses me off in the aftermath of games like that is when the victorious manager gets hailed for a "masterplan" and "tactical genius".
Tony Pulis, Sam Allardyce, Mark Hughes made a living for years off the back of smash and grab wins and everyone calls them dinosaurs of football.

It's sickening, apparently, they're going to usurp us this season according to OGS. Ridiculous. Realistically, one mistake, uncharacteristic finishing from kane (when does he ever bang them down the middle?!) and good goal keeping caused that result. The second half was borderline bombardment.
The worst thing about it is we're going to have to wait until next season now to put it right.
Just a thought ... try turning the sound down ... always happy to help
I cant listen to Sky and BT . .. its just irritating noise, biased, its just shit
I was going to post this. Utterly ridiculous ratings. They got a 1-0 win with their keeper MOTM by a mile scoring a 10... yet all their players were better? She's absolutely stealing a living.
Pretty sure he means just the commentary rather than watching without the crowd noise
