Spot on Augie, maybe I should have overdone the sarcasm with alot of pointless emoticons

If he doesn't look good on a YouTube video then we shouldn't sign him.

Anyone see the penalty awarded to Man City last night, very similar to the Pepe incident last Sat, yet ref didn't hesitate to give the pen, VAR didn't intervene.
