One of the positives seemed that when Dele came on he looked sharp. 

I was surprised Som never started, his pace will always cause problems and I guess there will always be the argument that if Erickson for fit for the bench why didn’t he get more game time. All ifs and buts. 

 

I thought his interview was very downbeat to the point he was even questioning himself why he was feeling so low and obviously eluding again to the lack of signings. He must be getting to the point where he feels he has taken this set of players as far as he can, and to most probably further, and clearly beginning to have an effect on him.

 

Be a shame not just for Spurs but for the Premiership if they lose him. 

 

Surprised !!! Son has been pony since he returned from the Asian Cup and  he has only started 3 PL games with no goals and no assists in 5 appearances, how many games have you seen him play this season ?

I was up at 5am so no way I could have gone last night....many like me I am sure.

So the next time you take the piss out of our crowd itll be ok if we remind you of this excuse then eh.

 

Makes you wonder what would the crowd have been had it been played at your new ground on the sunday and how many millions you lost because of the move to a monday night Wembley fixture that clearly the spurs fans also didn't want?  what a <deleted> up!

 

By the way, City sold out the full allocation you gave us so it was Spurs fans who didn't  show.

I wonder what the result would have been if we had started the game with Eriksen and Alli . I know they are not 100% fit, but still couldnt hurt to give them a chance from start. The pitch was terrible but could have easily ended with a win if we had managed to create enough chances.

As a potential Tottenham fan I must agree that Spurs have become a bit of a disappointment.

 

The above summary is pretty accurate and Man City didn't have to be at their best ti win. It was about more than just those 2 mistakes.

 

Apart from the error for the goal I thought Trippier played well, the defence did pretty well in handling Ageuro and Sterling and there was occasional neat passing going forward. But..... it was oh so thin. Not nearly enough penetration upfront, Lucas and Dier were invisible and Lamela went down more times than a soi Chaiyapoom massage girl! I think I could have put that chance away...  I liked Winks when he came on and it is good that Dele Alli has signed a new contract.

 

I fear for Spurs; they are a bit like England in the Euros.... they need ALL they key players to firing or they are ineffective. I don't know about the situation with Son but the match last night was made for someone like him (at his best).

Our capacity was extended a couple of years back from 48k to 54k (south stand) and next phase is an increase to 61k (north stand).

 

Next up for Spurs? Surely its to break the long drought and win a trophy.

Retractable pitch eh. Very fancy but that in itself is bound to cause problems. Lifts are great until they break down.

R2D2, retractable pitches are not new. Schalke's is probably the most wellknown - it retracts outside the stadium i believe so that the sun, wind and rain can get at it.

have a read, very interesting

Taking all that into consideration Arsenal should therefore finish above us so how much do you want on it ?

You know a little wager, who finishes highest in the League !

Didn't  think betting / gambling was allowed on TV.

 

Rather than have a wager on who finishes above the other (big deal), how about a wager between you two on something important and relevant - i.e. who wins their next trophy first (either of the 2 European trophies or either of the 3 english trophies)

Tottenhams is a divided pitch. Says it's a world first so if that's the case they should have known the safety of this would impact the completion.  Surely if they followed the schalke format the HSE would have signed off much earlier. That part that rises around the pitch to join the perimeter with pitch looks a death trap waiting to happen. 

[Bredbury Blue]

Well spotted R2D2; its not exactly the same retractable technology as schalkes.

not the only diference our owner isnt a persistent human rights abuser and we're open around our finances,, and we work within the 'law'

How do you know he's never abused human rights? Because it's not been reported? Usually billionaires haven't been too clean and have several closets of secrets. We are also open with our finances has as been proved several times. Don't know what you refer to within the law bit

I don't know what the obsession is with opposition fans about winning trophies, I mean I get it, the having a dig, that's the idea, but it's not the real reason we support football. It's the cherry on the cake, but there are only so many trophies and it's become so much more difficult to win one. You lads at City would not be saying this 6 years ago, and you have been supporting your club while winning <deleted> all. Most teams in the league will win <deleted> all ever these days. 

I honestly think that Poch is an incredible manager and he has won nowt, Spurs competing at the level they are is also incredible. And is something to be celebrated. 

I can't imagine how frustrating it is for their fans right now knowing just a few decent players in the summer would have been huge for them. They are suffering for it, yet still within a cock's stride of the big spenders and still consistently punching above their weight.

Another spurs fan still having problems with Walker leaving you?

 

We've done the Walker debate many times on this thread and the City thread haven't we. Here's my take on it, again.

 

He's not a defender's defender. He does rely on his speed. His speed is his main asset defending and/or attacking. He can be frustrating, his is prone to a boob, and he does get forward and waste the opportunity. Pep didn't buy him to be a defending defender, he bought him for his ability to defend and get forward. Interestingly, based on an article i read a while back,  Walker gets forward less for City than he did at Spurs. For us he defends the RB position, supports the winger in front of him and when the ball is on the left wing area he tucks in to central midfield as all our fullbacks have to do (do you remember the commotion about that when Pep first introduced it last season - shock, horror!). Is he a better RB that Trippier or that french lad of yours. In my opinion, overall he is.

 

Ask yourself this though if he really is as bad a defender as you lot keep making out he is:
1. If he's so bad, why was he named in the Professional Footballers’ Association Premier League Team of the Year (voted for by the other players)?
2. If he's so bad, why does he play for England at Right Back?
3. If he's so bad, why does he play for England as a centre-back in a 3?

 

Let it go man, let it go, you'll feel so much better.
