Manchester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[agrdavidsfan]

Ledley has broke my heart

 

[Aaron140]

Only hope this is a learning experience for everyone and wont give away as many silly goals. Still absolutely gutted

 

[elDiablo]

physically sick. I was disappointed with a potential draw, but to lose is injustice beyond belief.

what sickens me most is that lescott and balotelli are able to get away with violent conduct and go unpunished.

Balotelli shouldnt be on the pitch, and i really hope lescott is reprimanded for his elbow on kaboul.

hopefully our boys use the frustration to go on another superb run.

Im as gutted as anyone but i wouldn't blame Defoe for missing. It was a little too far in front of him to reach. Ledley's challenge was a bit of a panic decision that cost us.

Agree that Defoe isn't the one to blame, as you say it was just too far in front of him, I thought Bale should've slipped him in straight away instead of going round his man first.

I actually haven't felt like crying after a game for such a long time. Today I have tears in my eyes.

1512: City's turn to enjoy a bit of possession but their attempt to build up some pressure ends when Scott Parker blocks Mario Balotelli's shot and is accidentally caught by the striker's flailing leg. Replays show Balotelli caught Parker with his heel afterwards too, but I'm not sure that could be classed as intentional. Anyway, Parker is having treatment on the sidelines... and has just jogged back on.


Is that a fucking joke? It clearly was intentional.

3 horrible pieces of defending for their goals. Proper gutted that defoe was slightly on his heels for the chance to make it 3 - 2 to us but, the positive is that we should enough heart to come back from 2 down at a club that has won all it's home game and almost claim a deserved result.

I agree about their goals, all three were so preventable which is so, so frustrating.

For that chance at the end I think Bale should have passed it earlier, I think Defoe slowed down to stay onside and then at that moment Bale decided to surge past the man and it caught Defoe on his heels.

Damn, I could

 

[Duffman]

Everthing that happened there was caused by Ekotto being an idiot, the ball was running out of play for a SPurs throw in, but he kept it in and just lumped it aimlessly foward allowing city to come back at us again.

 

[hooty]

We can blame Webb for a lot of stuff but not that, the stamp occurred well after the ball had moved on, he wasn't going to stand there staring at the player was he?


Title winning moment that. That minute is what leagues swing on. Within that one minute, City went from a centimetre away from being 3 points ahead of Man utd (with a game more played) and 2 ahead of us.

Instead, they're 6 ahead of United and 8 ahead of us.

They're going to win the league now.

I'd say that chance going astray was more down to Bale, he should have put Defoe in early. But of course Defoe will get all the grief.

I'd say that the ball wasn't on earlier as the defender was in the way of make a pass that wouldn't have been behind Defoe. That is all on Defoe for being on his heels as Bale puts the ball in.

Hopefully the **** Ballotelli gets a 3 game ban for stomping on Parker's head.

 

[lillywhites61]

Cannot blame Defoe, he ran his heart out today

 

[walworthyid]

I am literally holding back tears!

Not sure if this has been posted

What a game of football
It's amazing that even after losing 3-2, Spurs are getting so much praise and are still considered a threat for Man Utd
Honestly, check it, Twitter, BBC, other teams forums
Brilliant brilliant brilliant

If you're gutted, it shows how far we've come
If you're smiling, it shows how far we've come
If you're pissed, stop drinking

 

[Dannyspur]

We could blame Bale as much as Defoe - a better ball would have meant he wouldn't have had to stretch.

What I hate is that the winner was scored in injury time added because ballotelli kicked Parker in the head.

 

[fortworthspur]

Defoe was fully stretched - sometimes you just cant get to a ball. If Defoe didnt poach our first we probably would've lost 4-0. no blame from me for anyone in white.

troglodyte fuckpig

 

[StockSpur]

Watching replays defoe slowed down...

 

[stevenqoz]
