Spurs (a) pre-match thread

If only we had Oliver reffing our last 2 matches, we would’ve been up 3 pens!
Hopefully we will get a fair showing at Wembley, and our “strikers” have their shooting boots on!l
Sterling is on his old stomping grounds of Wembley, hopefully he will feel at ease and bang a few in, god knows he owes us up a few!

Oliver? You've got to be kidding.

Hahahaha when did you ever have a good feeling about a game?

It's very rare, yes, but this weekend it's worse than before.

We're playing a resurgent Spurs when a) we look absolutely shattered and b) confidence among the players looks to be shot.

It's been the worst possible week we could have had. We could have been Champions already. But instead we're running on empty with a ridiculously difficult game to come.

This Aguero injury has fucked us really. Yes the refs have been shocking but this hasn't been acknowledged enough as a contributory factor. There's just no way a fully fit Aguero doesn't play a decisive role in at least one of those games. Same against Spurs, 4 biggest games back to back without the best goalscorer in our history.

And this as well as Fernadinho's suspension as a direct result of the Young tackle. PIGMOL having drinks on the back of it no doubt.

Has it been explained why this is a Saturday 19:45 ko ? I can't recall that ever happening before.

Saturday evening games are part of the new contract as a regular TV thing.

There has been a cup game trialing the slot. But this won't be the last time for this 7.45 KO Saturday.

Sky wanted to show this match as it could have been the one where City won the title had we drawn v United.

BT have a tea time game. Tottenham play again Tuesday night (the game they should have played Cup Semi weekend away at Brighton).

So it was probably either Friday night or Saturday night.

With CL the week before it could not be Friday.

Look I know Spurs are decent side, but did any of you watch their game against Stoke.
They were bloody awful, just Stoke were worse. So if that's them in form and/or resurgent,
then it's looking good for us.

I would concur with that if it wasn't for the fact that Spurs fall into that small and select band of teams that occasionally turn into world beaters against us.

Better late than never. What took you so long. Prior to the 1st leg of the Champions League game, might have been better ;-)

I had the shits for a week and didn't have time swap it round !
