For what it's worth the players tried to win, that was a tough game for City but they came through like champions do.
But wow would I be embarrassed to be a fan, not only cheering the opposition but also booing and jeering a clearly dazed opposing keeper who'd nearly had his head kicked off.
I'd like to think we'd never cheer an opponent to stop Spurs winning the league but of course a full scale alien invasion will happen much sooner than Spurs challenging for the league so it's all hypothetical.
Maybe Ange was pissed that the Dippers bottled the league?
It's not embarrassing for a Spurs fan. They've won fuck all and they can't win anything this season. The CL was an unrealistic expectation. Losing to Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool consecutively put pay to that dream. Trying to help prevent Arsenal from winning the league was all they had left, and you clearly piss them off to such an extent they're significantly motivated by that. Most fans would feel similarly in that situation, I'm not sure we'd go to the same extent by sitting there in silence and having people celebrate an opposition goal, but they've owned the fact they don't want you to win it.
As for Big Ange. Well he's done a great job of creating this character. This winner who tells it like it is. But he's a fucking moron. Getting so pissy about last night's game when he's overseen 4 consecutive losses previously, I don't know why he suddenly decided he was going to be a winner now! He's had a few injuries but he's also made some major fucking cock ups. Udogie is a big loss. Davies then got injured. But that's the test for a manager. What does he do? Plays Emerson fucking Royal. Then plays Skipp. Sticks Son down the middle when he's so much more effective wide. Doesn't think to sacrifice Johnson or try something else so his best player is in his best position.
