That is another thing i hate seeing bookings for. How exactly does throwing the ball away hurt anybody ? You can't even blame time wasting seeing as a ball can be thrown back onto the field by a ball boy 2 seconds after a player kicks or throws it away.

Throwing/kicking the ball away is always a booking, especially with the intention of time wasting after the player has tried to hide the ball up his shirt. The fact it cannot hurt anybody is completely irrelevant. It does not surprise me that you cannot see this.

Then just add on the time. It's not like time was wasted by holding onto/throwing the ball away anyway, the players were still celebrating. Is it really so hard to add on an extra 10 seconds ? If that happens earlier in the game, you would never see a booking, why should rules change when it's the last minute ?

The suspension makes it worse, booking number 4 was for the same offence. The lad has to learn.

I think it's more to do with the aggression on show, I don't know the rule book but players get booked for angrily kicking the ball or even throwing it to the ground when they don't agree with a decision.

I think the key words in him getting the card are aggressive physical reaction.

where's the draw ?

Small win tonight bet on us and Bristol City winning. 

I bet we get Bristol, some sort of Karmic pay-back for 1990 I bet!

City vs City I reckon. Bound to be an easy draw for those lucky Mancs. We were awful second half and I knew they would equalise but Moratas goal was so quick it must have broken Bournemouth fans hearts. We need to play better than we did tonight.

Us vs Bristol with a nerve wrecking qualification in the 2nd leg !

A win is a win I guess but I thought we were really poor, especially in the second half until Morata and Hazard - and Bakayoko - came on. We seemed to be swamped in midfield and our squad players with one or two exceptions didn't really put anyone under pressure.

ampadu is a centres back. He plays the vast majority of his games there. 

He's more of a centre midfielder in my opinion

have u changed your mind on ampadu at centre back? I thought that was easily his best perfomance yet.

Got to clearly mark the arsenal and Bristol balls Scott. 

Ampadu and Kenedy both played well, but my man of the match was Rudiger. He needs to be starting more, he’s brilliant. Overall not a great performance, but a win is a win. Hoping to draw Bristol or Arsenal, then beat City in the final!

Yeah they said before the last break that’s wed be coming back for the draw shortly and then it was t mentioned again until they went for another break. Just f**k off sky and get on with it.

City f**king city, wouldn’t you know.

It’s Arsenal 

So that will be about a 14-0 aggregate win for City then.

City are having an easy season.

Man city seem to be getting an easy ride in competitions this year? Even champions league 

Can Conte finally overcome his Wenger hoodoo?
