kev is right!!
Really enjoyed the game from the first minute to the last. Breath of fresh air a team not playing with everyone behind the ball at the Etihad. A great advert for the Prem I thought and can't think of one thing to Bluemoan about. Even the pre match burger and chips was good and the service excellent.

Isn't it funny how people watch the same match and have different opinions.
Sagna had a good game , he did his job well as Spurs were a threat at times on the counter , got through plenty of work .............but he did not possess the threat that Zabba gives. Spurs could easily have been 2-2 at the break. Their counter attacking had me worried. The ref was poor.
Lamps did get a nudge in the back - went down theatrically. We have seen them given against us. Spurs pen was outside the area - right on the edge
but Hart did very well. Navas - i like him but his final pass is just not good enough. Spanish Dave had a poor game BUT he got clobbered on the Achilles heel - just in front of the benches - but ref did not even give a yellow. Navas 's yellow was pathetic decision - bearing in mind tackles that went unpunished. Positives were Milner - put a great shift in - Hart made 3 brilliant saves and Aguero was tremendous. I will be playing "Mozart" tonight.

Excuse me. The stewards were a bit scruffy and at one point it looked like rain.

Conversely, the feed I had today had Jon champion (I think) and Jim Beglin and they were pretty complimentary to city.de niro said:
A couple of standouts were one in the first half when silva miscontrolled in the area and champion made a note of the date and said mark it down cos that just doesn't happen and then after Sergio's 4th he said normal footballers don't do that, only the special.
So a Saturday k.o. 12-45pm. Wonder what attendance will be.?.
Monday night - Liverpool - 45,471.
Saturday Afternoon - Stoke - 45,622
Sunday 4-00pm - Chelsea - 45,602.
Obviously , with the "expansion" the gate will be down by about 1800 from our record gate vs. QPR 47,444...Agueroooo..
Spurs usually fill their quota.....so I will guess 45,550.
Today's attendance - 45,549

Plenty of plusses, but a fair few minuses today as well. I honestly don't know how I've managed to rack up nearly 45 years of watching City without dropping down dead from nervous exhaustion.
On the negative side, a more ruthless side than Spurs might easily have turned us over today. Their players, particularly Erikkson, seemed to walk past our defenders in our box, and the defensive midfield coverage was piss poor. Fernando had an absolute stinker, giving the ball away, getting caught in possession, and playing "after you Claude" with VK and MDM. Navas hesitated far too often when counter attacking in great positions, Clichy's delivery was as inept as always, and Spanish Dave was a little bit jaded.
On the plus side, Sergio is the greatest striker we've ever had (cherish every moment), James Milner goes from strength to strength, we played some lovely intricate stuff at times going forward, Ya Ya came on and showed the worth of having someone in the engine room who can run a game (a lesson for his daft detractors), and whilst giving nothing away, Joe Hart's demeanour afterwards was of a man with a new contract in the offing. Oh, yeh, and we tonked Spurs - whose support was as c*nty as always - again! Happy days
