Thing is I’m not sure you can quantify it as corruption when these things seem to be falling for/against teams seemingly at random.

Like we’ve had situations where we got lucky, we’ve also had situations like the Mac Allister red card that went against us.

Arsenal have had stuff for and against, as have city.

If there’s corruption, I’m not sure who it’s in favour of? It just seems like rampant incompetence.

Well VVD got an extra game for a similar interaction so let’s see some consistency there I guess.

Also Haaland’s tweet won’t win him any favours either.

Ah just in time for some new manager bounce against us. What a time to be alive.

My only thought is he assumed Grealish was off so blew the whistle as the advantage was gone?

Still in this technology era I don’t see the harm in letting something that close roll to its conclusion and then sorting the potential offside after?

Not really sure they do. He wasn’t better than Modric or Kroos when they sold him and he isn’t better than Valverde or Bellingham now.

Madrid have sold of loads of very high quality players in the past, players that would be stars at other clubs are regularly deemed surplus to requirements there. The bar they have for who makes it there is probably higher than any other club in the world.

Given how long they’ve taken in the past to replace Giggs/Scholes/Carrick and then later Mctom/Fred etc I highly doubt that unless he is pressing to leave, they’ll be giving up on him anytime soon.
