I've been watching City for 57 years

And there have been four occasions where I could think of no other explanation other than that the fix was in.
The quarter final in 1983, when the local referee failed to send a player off for a second bookable offence, them allowed him to commit a foul unpunished before they scored.
That televised game at Tranmere in 2010, when the same linesman was responsible for 4 goals (including ours).
Wigan in 2011, when the officials gave them everything in the first half, and gave us everything in the second half.
Today.

And even when I've calmed down, I suspect I'll still think today was the worst.
