That last goal is the best example you'll ever see of a clear and obvious error.

Disagree. No one watching in real time thought it was offside, so how it that clear and obvious? It took detailed study of the video to say it was possibly offside (and I’m still not convinced - but accept I am biased in City’s favour).
Anyway, we’ll done Spurs for riding their luck and setting up a cracking tie against Ajax. My money is on an Ajax-Barcelona final..
Never in the history of football has it been preferable or acceptable for decisions to be wrong. VAR simply reduces the number of wrong decisions. If Spurs had gone out tonight to an illegal goal then that would not have been fair and it would not have been in the best interests of the sport. The final "goal" was offside and that's all there is to it, no matter how enthusiastic the celebrations were.
Ha ha I can't believe people argue against VAR getting decisions right and actually making the result of a game fair after years and years of people moaning that they get game changing decisions wrong! Even more so as we could have done with VAR against Coventry. So what if City fans celebrated, it wasn't a goal end of. Well done Spurs who continually keep on par with teams spending 150 million a transfer window.
I rarely watch Premiership football but as this was a European tie I thought i'd make the effort... and i am glad i did. As a neutral it was thoroughly enjoyable. I was delighted when it looked like Sterling had won it for City, then equally delighted when he hadn't.
Some of those players make it look a different sport to what we witness down the Lane.
Not Deli Ali though, he'd struggle to make our midfield.
