Spurs (H) Post Match Thread

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Villa made 'em look ordinary last week. Was only went the City-snubbing Dane came on that they upped their game. Yesterday, both he and 'Arry 'Otspur were quite anonymous. In fact, the England captain's major contribution to the game was the expertly mis-hit attempted lob over Eddie which almost went for a throw-in!

Loved Pep's post match comments on that.

"Was not a shot" *chuckles*

I think it is fairly obvious, actually: Bernardo launches a vicious and premeditated cheek attack on Rose’s elbow.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Bernie getting a violent conduct ban for it.

Was it the attempt where two Spurs defenders tried to shovel Bernardo into a new branch of Subway. Have they changed the rules here? Ref gives a foul so the Whistling Wanker can't say he didn't see it! But we know that governing bodies, as soon as one set of rules has been successfully met, can change them to meet ongoing circumstances.

Walked back to my car after the game deciding what I'll spend the £700 my season tickets costs next season on. No point going to games any more with on the field refereering of that ineptitude (so biased to Spurs) and then VAR chalks off a goal for a handball no one in the stadium even saw.

Same here, I'll asking my lad if he want a bike or something instead.

It's a sad day Bill.

Very. Had a good run. Shame for future generations .

Really not liking this 'the whole world is against us' victim vibe coming across on here - we're beginning to sound like the dippers! The recent spate of VAR decisions against City surely reflects the ridiculous amount of chances we create, and isn't part of some wider conspiracy aimed at dislodging and destabilising us. It's also easy to use it as a distraction from the fact that, once again, City failed to kill off a game despite utterly dominating it and having unpteen chances to do so. City's own complacency is the real enemy here, not VAR.

The real issue with VAR is the way it is going to affect the supporters' goal celebrations. I wasn't at the game yesterday, but was at the Champion's League home game against Spurs and the West Ham match last week. You feel a complete donut when you've danced around celebrating and then, 5 mins later, the goal is chalked off. And it also leaves you open to humiliation from the opposing fans. I'm going to Bournemouth next Sunday and already I'm thinking what to do when City score: should I risk it and celebrate as normal, or do I hold back my emotion until the all clear is given from a bunker 100 miles away? Either way, I can't help but think that, over the course of this season, something vital and spontaneous is going being drained from football.

Not enough to drag you down apparently. Unless you are Rag or Dipper, than there was a contact.

I'm still shocked Bernado getting cleaned out meant a foul was for Spurs.

Only reason I can see that given was due to the referee feeling sorry for Rose et al.

Hope Oliver enjoyed a good night's sleep safe in the knowledge that yesterday's objectives were completed as instructed and his handlers will ensure he's never held accountable for any of it. Early indications are that anything and everything will be done this season to restore English football's preferred hierarchy - the two cash-cows must be returned to the summit no matter how much cheating it takes. Match-going fans of Clubs outside the chosen two should prepare for a very very long season...

Which will make our league title even more sweet.
