Match Threads Man City vs Spurs - Match Thread - Premier League

[ardiles]

Michael Oliver is SWIMMING in the oil money.

Yes, Im a bit triggered

Have you never.

The ref had a decent game to be fair. Handball on Walker would have been harsh. We would have complained had it been given at the other end.

They could have had a peno for a foul in the first and handball in the second. One rightly not given.

If the ref had an agenda he didn’t show it.

Have to say I disagree with you, had that been given against us I'd have been upset but I couldn't have argued against it, the ball didn't hit his hand his hand hit the ball.
That said I'm not blaming the ref I'm pretty sanguin about the result as it happens much more pleased with the performance overall, that team with that quality and that graft will win all our remaining games.

 

[DJS]

Wonder why KWP isn’t at wing back rather than a centre back out of position who’s never started there for us before.

Another bizarre Poch selection.

Poch says fuck you DJS, I’m the selection daddy!

 

[VancouverSpur]

If we had VAR this season, I doubt the gap would have been that big.

If we had spent 50-100 million like some clubs I doubt the gap would be that big.

 

[Fidget]

If we had spent 50-100 million like some clubs I doubt the gap would be that big.

yeah i think we know that for sure. keep hoping for this summer.
if we win our remaining games we’ll be top 4 and lol we may win CL

 

[markiespurs]

Can't get angry or down about this result.

Pleased with the effort and general performance of the lads.

 

[Zippy1980]

1-0 to the referee. I hope he enjoys his all expenses paid trip to the Emirates Palace and diamond encrusted gold watch.

He wasn’t given a back handed he is just crap.

 

[nailsy]

Either Llorente or Janssen, not Danny ‘it’s all about me’ Rose.

The guys literally playing out of position to help the team.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Or a dick .

I was gonna go with that analogy, but then so many on here would think I was referring to them

 

[Armstrong_11]

We lost to city twice in 4 days. Both by a goal. Not too disappointed. We had our chances today. Maybe with a bit more luck we might have come away with a point.

But I felt we played well. And our tails up. hopefully we keep our momentum.

COYS!

 

[spurs mental]

Two massive away games v Liverpool and City and we've pretty much dominated both for the best part of both games.

The investment in the squad both in term of new additions and new contracts will be massive this summer. Get it right, back at our proper home and we will be up there next season

 

[Gassin's finest]

Bleh, written off game, bit of argy bargy at the end, thought they were lucky to get the win. But that's all out of the way and the Pep team can go back to being an irrelevance to me.

 

[Mr Pink]

Can't get angry or down about this result.

Pleased with the effort and general performance of the lads.

I agree. Just wish we had pushed a bit harder in the last 15 minutes.

Think running of out of steam let City off the hook.

Definitely was something in that game for us today.

But overall its been a great week, but Brighton is an absolute must win!

 

[jamesinashby]

Very very proud of our team with a bit more luck and some better ref we should have won that

That pretty much sums up our season. It might seem like sour grapes, but it seems to me both City and Liverpool have had more than their share of the luck. Both will likely finish up with 95+ points of which some 10+ have been gifted to them. When the season ends, wherever we finish, we can justifiably feel proud of our efforts despite all our injuries. We did it without buying in top players and paying ludicrous wages. It is looking good for next season with the new stadium and money for investment in improving an already pretty fair squad.

COYS

 

[vuzp]

Honestly I don’t get why so many upset with the ref today, the penalty shouts I think we’re good calls, all ball to hand not the hand to ball, ok some of city acting was very poor, especially sterling and Silva, Oliver could have been stronger but overall can’t complain really.

 

[spursfan77]

Oliver is fucking shite.

We deserved a point from that. We had their fucking number, fuck that's galling.

I’m just fed up of constantly getting fucked over by referees. That’s the second time Oliver has done it to us this season. He did it in the last game he officiated.

Can’t wait for VAR.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

The guys literally playing out of position to help the team.

When he takes on ridiculous shots that far more technically gifted players than him would struggle to get on targets despite having 4 attackers in front of him, that makes him a selfish git who plays for himself.

I love Pochettino but he got it wrong today, suggesting otherwise is blind, and as for Rose, I know all his recent media attention means criticising him is tantamount to treason, but after a few good years he had reverted to the self serving player who was only interested in number one.

 

[parj]

I thought we played well. Deserved a draw. Just need to make sure we won the rest of PL games and get top 4.

 

[John48]

I thought we played well. Deserved a draw. Just need to make sure we won the rest of PL games and get top 4.

Difficult though, pretty much 2 games a week until the end of the season.

 

[rupsmith]

Yep. Every time he speaks he just comes across as a dick.

What’s he saying that’s bad? Seems ok

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: "Both teams have incredible players with heart and personality. It was a real tough game after our mental defeat on Wednesday and we knew we could have lost the Premier League today.
"As a footballer, I could not have done what my players have done today. The title is still in our hands.
"We've been on a remarkable run, playing against an incredible team like Tottenham and fighting for the Premier League with the best Liverpool team ever, one of the best teams I've seen in my life.
"We'll fight until the end and see how far we get."
