Manchester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Sweetsman]

I am completely over Resknapp, I just want to be over AVB now. I never wanted him, he was awful at the start of last season, and Bale saved his reputation. Now we have no superman, we look ordinary. We can't score goals and we are boring. Time for him to go.

I suggest you slither back down the hole from where you came.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Can't be bothered to comment on the others, but Sandro most certainly has NOT lost it.

I forget if it was Everton or Hull but in one of those he was a bad as anyone has been all season.
He's still a rock but now all I can see is someone teetering on the verge of a red card or conceding a penalty.

I nearly spat my drink out earlier when a new reader said "Spurs had lost ground in the title race"

We genuinely have more chance of being relegated.
We're not even top half quality anymore


And I told all of you so weeks ago. And all people kept saying was "we've got 20 points, we're only x points of the top,we've kept cleansheets, Soldado will come come good"

Well, now we're further of the top and now you've ask seen just how fucking bad we actually are.

Most odd our new signings are turning into Torres' not Bales.

AVB looks like he couldn't motivate a thing.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I note your craven disloyalty. It's only superseded by your stupidity.

Note what the fuck you want, and then go ask someone who gives a shite about what you say, because i don't.

Bye.

Baldini has great deal to answer for IMHO. AVB looks shell shocked. Levy fine in my books, I would have sacked H.

City have beaten better teams than us by cricket scores - thats what money gets you, when spent correctly.

Why is that? For giving us the best 3 seasons of football, the best 3 finishes in the league and the most exciting football we've had at the Lane in decades?

All with a much worse squad than AVB has to work with.

Bale masked AVB's lack of potency last season. This season, without a genuine game-winning player to rely on, the team look clueless.

 

[Spurger King]

That's good but we will eventually come up with a winning formula. As the manager to take highest number of points off Fergie, I believe AVB knows more about tactics than some give him credit for.

I hope you're right. If we can beat United, and play well in the process, there's a good chance that it could kick-start our season.

[qe="chookz, post: 3707675, member: 3403"]Just go and support QPR if you please as it seems you can't live with the fact that 'Arry is in the past now. We need to get behind the present manager. Mistakes will be made but let's see how/if we bounce back from this.

We win a few games and this will all be behind us.[/quote]

Lol you're an idiot, I was asked yesterday in another thread if I was a Harry fan and I replied I thought he did well for us but we got rid at the right time, how is that living in the past?

I notice you didn't answer the question though?

[Robbiepope]

The thing about today is iam not angry, i have resigned myself (even before the game) to fact that we arent very good at the moment.

I hate the slow pace we play, we cant score goals, we now are conceding easily, new players are not even coming close to justifying their price tag and we lost at home to a shit west ham team.

Not calling for AVB to go yet but he has a massive December coming up.

 

[chookz]

Don't get me wrong I'm glad H went as he made it obvious he wanted the England job. My point was/is I get excited up until kick off every week watching my beloved Spurs but 2 hours later I think what a waste of my life !!!

I feel you... I get that optimistic feeling too but I am also a realist. I understand that we don't have any world class players in the team.

Ouch!, we all feel the same way. So there is no need to draw comparisons then is there? I can bet you that you are not smarter than me by calling me an idiot but whatever makes you feel better.

AVB got my respect after we beat United at OT. If we do that again we just might kick on from there.

Unfortunately we have to beat more teams than Man Ure.....honest. Secondly whats the big deal this season by beating Man Ure?

I believe that AVB is a little naive about tactics in this league or he would have changed the system after the West Ham loss, ....no sorry the Newcastle loss, sorry i meant before the man Citeh drubbing. Or perhaps he will at home next week?

 

[Wirral Spurs]

Just back from the game. The support was fantastic and the only thing that was a credit to Spurs. The 'We sing when we're shit" song drew genuine warmth and applause from the home crowd (who I was sitting amongst, unfortunately).
Genuinely worried about all our newbies, Lemela was very weak in particular.

Don't go around telling people to support other clubs and make assumptions about them being unable to live with Redknapp gone when you have no idea what you're talking about if you don't like it.

What comparison did I draw? You stated we only got 4th because of other teams faultering and not our points total, I asked you if that was both times, which you still haven't answered

 

[Syn_13]

The same lolpool we beat to Dempsey, sigs and Eriksn and have been above the last four years? The lolpool in Liverpool? Players give two fucks to history and you talk s........

Harsh, and pretty uncalled for. I'd go far as agreeing that most players don't care for club history anymore, so using Liverpool may not have been the best example. However, I still stand by my point that unless we could simply throw money at players/agents with no need to worry about the consequences then the best we can hope for is a Dortmund-esque break. They've done well to create what they have in recent years with limited money through a great academy, great scouting and a great manager. We don't have that combination, unfortunately.

The reason why I mentioned Liverpool is that, despite dropping behind in recent years, they are still a huge club with a huge following that can use that to their advantage. They drop behind a bit but will eventually catch up again. Arsenal can afford to do that too. United look crap this year but I'll guarantee that somewhere over the next few years they'll be right up there again, maybe even by the end of this season, who knows. Those teams are pretty much set up for life, bar some massive Leeds-esque tragedy befalling them. Their previous success has guaranteed them a fan base and income to stay relatively at the top of the game and create an image that investors will want to buy into. Chelsea and City, on the other hand, did it the modern way and bought their success. We're stuck in limbo - we can't buy our way to the top and we haven't got the kind of history that sets up to be in an advantageous position.

Unlike you, I don't care what people think or rely on others to support my position. Auf wiedersehen, pet!

 

[Wolf_Autopsy]

biggest loss in what...nearly 20 years?
.
I am actually GLAD we got wholloped so hard. It was easy for AVB to justify his current system when we barely lose, get a tie, etc...it would constantly reinforce his mentality in saying oh were close, we're close, just need a small tweak.

WRONG. we were never close..the fact we didnt concede more goals or losses, was luck on our part. If this loss doesn't wake AVB up and light a fire under him, nothing will.

Everyone be glad we lost 6-0, and not 2-0 or something that could be explained by that tactical wordsmith at the helm..

"The statisticians revealed that this was their worst defeat since Ian Walker, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham and company lost 7-1 at Newcastle United on Dec 28, 1996"

Excellent and unbiased piece written here. Unfortunately!

Who cares what happens in tromso with the second string players we should be playing.

The only thing that matters to us is the prem and qualifying for CL and it's the ignorance of this fact that will greatly contribute to AVB getting sacked.

True, but we need to rebuild confidence and a win over Tromso could be a start.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Last week all the sheep on here said "we're only 5 points off the top"

Well, sheep, now we're 8 points off top. 10 off relegation.

RELEGATION.

And if it wasn't for lucky penalties we'd be in it with hardly a goal scored all season.

Is not going to click.

AVB will be gone soon.
United and Liverpool coming soon. Two more drubbings, probably to nil

 

[Sweetsman]

It was an excellent report, even if he is a Gooner. He also states that although we were abject City will do this to a number of teams. What I worry about is that AVB is starting to worry about what the media thinks or what the fans think. The team was built around Bale last season and that's why he was moved centrally: the team gave him space like you do for a quarterback. Now, the aim is to get goals from different quarters, not just the forward. That will happen in time.
