RussellYid I take it you are in the social media team?

He's Man City (boo!)

In that case ban him for the improper use of the Y word

All the better, if we finish above them at the end of the season we will be able to draw in loads of the plastic converts coming across to a winning team.

So @RussellYid - are you a spurs fan that works on the man city social media team? The Tunnel cam is good, I watched it last year when we lost and it was pretty sickening. Its much better when we win! Must be hard if you are a spurs fan to post positive stuff about City. Maybe throw some pics of the Eriksen goal out on facebook saying spurs deserved it just to wind them up. Maybe also a picture of the ball hitting sterlings outstretched arm and say the club accepts it was the right decision lol. The Paddy Power Fan Denial would be epic!

Just came to post this.

Interesting how vocal Kompany and Hart are prematch trying to gee themselves up and get in our heads and our lads are just quiet, confident.

Also interesting that Kane seems to take that role on for us as opposed to Lloris.

I'm not sure, Kane was only doing that before they went out for the warm up cause the goalkeepers go out before the outfield players. When they went out for the second half Lloris was telling everyone 'switch on' etc

Interesting stuff. Kompany's rallying cry before going out of the tunnel seemed a bit lacklustre and the City players response a bit low key as well.....if that was meant to intimidate it was woeful. Best bit was YaYa and Dier having a a go at each other walking in at half time. That would be a pay per view fight right there!

 

[kungfugrip]

city has the best social media team, hope we can have the tunnel cam as well (I know our team has improved a lot!)

I think space in our tunnel is at a premium until we move to the new stadium.

For me, the most pleasing aspect of our fantastic win yesterday, was that we went there with a game-plan and enforced it perfectly. We stopped them playing. I must admit to being worried when I heard Silva and Kompany were fit to play, and of course Aguero loves scoring goals against us too...but none of them got a kick. We stopped all of them playing and stifled the supply chain, which was crucial. Toure was completely ineffective and that's all down to our hard work.

Speaking of hard work, I think this was our toughest match of the season, both mentally and physically and the boys came through it with great credit. They always say winning ugly is very important to all the best teams and we proved we could do that too. Some of our game-play wasn't the prettiest but by God it was effective.

I don't usually nominate individuals for outstanding performances, but I thought Toby Alderweireld was our man of the match. He was absolutely awesome, yet again.

Is this the real life, is it just fantasy...?

I'm at City, head up CityTV. Have been for seven years now.

Not been on here for an age. So good to see its still going strong.

It's fairly easy to put the 30+ year passion for Spurs aside to be honest. I came in 2009 and that season we qualified for the UCL at The Etihad. That was hard but it got easier as City began to dominate!

Good to see Rob is still bossing this. Can't be easy with the rise and rise of so many social media platforms.

Would you take the spurstv job, if offered?

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Nice to see dier giving it back at half time

I was just waiting for someone to shout ''KICK HIS ASS SEABASS'' xD

 

[Sanj]

love the fact that while City are trying to gee up their players, our boys have a calm and steely determination and know what needs to be done.
Like the attitude of the team all season - just going about our job quietly and with purpose.

Nice work from their social media team. City are a good club overall and I've largely felt like they've not forgotten where they came from prior to being bankrolled by Sheikh Mansour - which is hugely important. Their issue is that their squad doesn't seem to have any real camaraderie and many would argue they have too many mercenaries looking for a pay day. As pointed out by some in other threads, not a single teammate joined their goal scorer to celebrate when they equalised and that says a massive amount to me about how tight they are as a group.

The overriding thing I will take from this season is that our players genuinely like each other and are mates on and off the pitch. They fight for each other and THAT will always be more valuable than any world class invdividual a club can sign.

Also, I think our social media presence has improved massively over the last couple of seasons. If you don't already then hit up the youtube channel, there are loads of good videos on there. Adding a tunnel cam though would be very cool so lets hope we adopt it at some stage.

I noticed something at the start of the tunnel cam with iheanacho. The other man city players made a point of shaking the security guards hands when they walked in. Even players like Sterling, who if Liverpool would have you believe is an arrogant git, shook their hands. Iheanacho didn't though, just walked through ignoring them. Maybe it's him who is the prat and the other players don't like him and so didn't celebrate with him?

Please move to Spurs. Spurs TV has improved from the embarrassment it was a few years ago but City TV is still much better.

I noticed that. Thought it might be that he's young and still up himself a bit a bit.

Or maybe he's just young and doesn't know who exactly everyone is, the amount of people hanging around the tunnel area seems excessive.

I could be wrong just playing devils advocate

I've watched a fair amount of City's tunnel-cam videos as I find them very interesting, and it's almost certainly that he just doesn't know them. Last year it was only the long-serving players like Zabaleta, Hart, Kompany and Toure that shook their hands, and over time more players get to know them. Iheanacho is a young kid who is only just finding his way into the first-team squad, and possibly doesn't speak much English.

 

[Typical Spurs]

Tunnel cam from our 6-0 drubbing at city. Some players involved that day who are part of the great thing we have now. I remember watching it at the time - full time - Soldado having a casual chat, Vlad having a casual chat. Nobody looks how you would expect having got stuffed. Other than Daws, last 1 in as he's been thanking the fans, looks like he's going to cry.

Never underestimate the importance of mentality. From then to now is totally unrecognisable.

 

[yiddopaul]

Is it just me, but i hate seeing our players hugging & shaking hands with the opposition before kick off and at half time. Full-time, fair enough. I don't want them all friendly before hand, even if they do know them.

 

[npearl4spurs]

even in the tunnel Wimmer had Aguero in his back pocket

 

[Spurger King]

Anyone else remember the tunnel cam vid from a few years ago, where Balotelli walks past the Spurs players and you can clearly hear Defoe saying to VDV "he's weird isn't he" followed by them both laughing?
