It's all part of the plan. I'm sure they're still working on the Prem title |  |

City will also have the Vunts at Stockley Park to give them a helping hand on the day, give them three or four minutes and VAR will always find something to stitch up the underdog, case in point, Coventry Cityโs perfectly good goal against Man Utd at Wembley in the 2024 semi final. |  | |  |

Even before VAR they found ways to stiff us (like disallowing Gabbiadiniโs third goal for offside). |  |

| Downes suspended for 3 matches on 16:46 - Apr 23 with 2367 views | A1079 | Part of me feels like the timing of the ban is convenient but the greater part of me says that Downes has been close to the wind with being sent off a few times. I like that he gets stuck in but there have been times when you think, why did he not engage brain first. |  | |  |

Downes does need to curb his aggression. The refs are aware of him & he's always going to be targeted by the officials not just because of his aggression but also his back chat to officials. He needs to control his aggression because he's a good player. But the FA's timing of this ban stinks, they should have given Saints at least 7 days notice of the ban, Tonda has obviously been planning yo use Downes on Saturday. |  | |  |
