Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

[hhyftrftdr]

Not sure if its in jest or not, but people on Blue Moon suggesting Schmeichel was purposely booting it out of play high up the pitch cos it was so easy to get the ball back from us after a throw in.

He has a monster kick on him, got it to close to the edge of our area every time. Double footed I think as well.

Manchester City have made contact with Sergio Busquets http://dailym.ai/1Q9fQis

Pep knows who makes the game tick

Lets see who Busquets values more.....his wife or Pep?

Kompany back
Delph out for 7 weeks

I've never known anything like it for injuries. Just listed in another thread all of our injuries this season, enough to make a strong XI with a couple of subs. Wouldn't be too bad if it was just the odd week here and there, but more often than not its for significant lengths of time.

I know we'll get no sympathy from other fans but it must be so frustrating for Pellers being unable to call on an even close to fully fit squad every week.

Spurs the better team though, good both ends of the pitch

I've not seen any highlights apart from that farce of a decision so I'll have to take your word for it. From my perspective, neither team looked brilliant and neither looked like title contenders.

In such a tight game, when the first goal will be crucial and there is so much riding on it, you need the referees to be at least competent. Clattenburg should be in league 2 next week, but that wouldn't be fair on those teams. I've never seen a penalty given when not a single player nor fan appeals for it, and it happened at the Spurs end in front of their following.

Good job I don't believe in conspiracy theories, as Clattenburg was in charge at WHL earlier this season when him and his assistants missed a Spurs attacker being 29 yards offside for their equaliser

3 horse race now, but still think city may have a part to play, Spurs played well today, obv a bad decision by MC but always difficult in heat of battle. Needed to get 3 points today. Nice to be involved in Cup final, and Champions League. Shame the cockney reds are miles away!!!

Just watched the highlights. Poor finishing on our part for a number of chances. Hart had very little to do, although Lloris was rarely troubled as well. Silly 2nd goal, such a stupid area of the pitch to give away a cheap ball.

And a shocking decision from Clattenburg, absolutely woeful. He can't even see it.

You've written city off already? Fair enough i guess.

Spurs unrecognisable from any Spurs team I've seen in the flesh in recent years. Playing like that they are/will be very diffuclt to beat. So credit to them and their manager.

I thought Spurs were  better 1st half without really creating much. I thought City competed brilliantly 2nd half (not always apparent this season) and were clearly the better team without hitting any fluency.

Spurs better both ends of the pitch? Offensively they didn't really do much.  Playing high, lots of players pushed forward but only 6 attempts all game. City had 19 attempts by the way.

Conspiracy theories involving Clattenburg are very welcome IMO. His history is very interesting albeit I’m not sure this is the right place to speculate about it.

 What did he see for that penalty? I just don’t get it. I was furious in real time which was compounded when I received the text 2 mins later from someone watching on TV  confirming it was a joke of decision. Marginal decisions for or against don’t cause me a problem. Then there is rubbish like that which has so much of an influence on the outcome.

The Aguero off-sides when we were in the ascendancy before they scored the 2nd  were unfortunate as well.  After seeing the still-frames 2 were clearly not off-side and the first of which would have culminated in Aguero running at the keeper for a one on one. Definitely on the wrong-side of the poor decision variance at the moment.
