This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I’d say both challenges were reckless. by tex29

And both could have led to serious injuries. Kompany’s studs were a little higher, so maybe his was *slightly* more reckless? But it was the same exact thing. Either tackle could have ended someone’s season. The difference is Mo Salah is Mo Salah, and Aguero is Aguero. And anyone calling Aguero a flopper, in comparison to Mo Salah, should rethink things.

As for Sterling, I don’t have the clip handy. But I remember watching it from multiple angles. Robertson saw Sterling was loose, broke down like he was trying to keep Sterling from dribbling past him into the paint, then clotheslined Sterling as he tried to run past him to the ball. But my memory has failed me before.

In any event, I think it’s fair to say City were fortunate to come away with three. Just as Pool were fortunate to avoid City coming away with three at Anfield.
