Match Thread: Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City

[Neil_Vaughan]

Talk about the game in here before, during and after.

[peterc]

Difficult to call, but I predict 2-2.

[shakey18]

Well that knobber Mark Lawrenson, thinks we'll win 2-0.A clean sheet?!, **** me!.I actually think we'll win 3-2, for some reason.

[Sparkystav]

If we can keep a cap on Petrov then 3-2 to us as well i think.

Stav

[Keanoldinho]

Hard one to call our home form is shite well shit our away form is shite to so I guess we're just shite at the minute but Citehs away form is shite too.

Elano is out so Petrov is their only real threat whether Chimbo can deal with him or not remains to be seen. Their defence is good but as chelski showed they're capable of having a real clanger.

3-1 us Berby(2) & Bent

[canadaspur]

If we play like against Anderlecht....something like 1-4:(

[berbzy 'G']

I want the win, but can't see it happening... 3 1 man city :o :o :(

[shakey18]

I think the first goal in this one will be vital.

[Keanoldinho]

I think the first goal in this one will be vital.


looks like we're ****ed then

[irishspur]

Elano is out so Petrov is their only real threat whether Chimbo can deal with him or not remains to be seen.

Chimbo is really gettin on my nerves lately he doesnt seem to care anymore that 34 year old anderlecht left winger made a monkey out of him think wat petrov will do...........
On a brighter note i tink we can get a narrow win with berbs 2 score. Hes back to sumthing like his best.

[Gino Ginelli]

Man City at home. I'd say we're in for a miserable Sunday afternoon.

[N17-YID]

3-1 spurs ... berbs 1 keane 1 and malbranque 1 :cool:

[denis-cro]

3-1 spurs ... berbs 1 keane 1 and malbranque 1 :cool:

??? When does his three-match ban starts ? Anyway, after watching Spurs playing vs Brum and Anderlecht, I have completely lost confidence in our lads... I just hope we´ll not lose by a goal scored in injury time...

[irishspur]

keano's suspension starts tomo and he'll also miss the following prem game against portsmouth aswell as the carling cup game also against man city.

[corkspur]

3-2 city.our defence is ****ing terrible at the moment.we are an embarrassment to football at the moment,and im very close to not giving a shit any more.The players dont so why should I!!! spurs are not good for your health at the moment!!

[Keanoldinho]

keano's suspension starts tomo and he'll also miss the following prem game against portsmouth aswell as the carling cup game also against man city.


That's a game I'm very nervous about we could get embarressed against Pompey if we're not careful. They're taking no prisoners at the minute and their midfield is strong as feck. January can't get here quick enough to be honest.:(

[\jackdaw]

Not looking forward to the next few matches especially the way we are under performing.

To be quite honest I cant see us winning this because with all his shortcomings as an international manager Sven is a very good club manager and has got city doing well.

3-1 to City :(

[jrio]

Man City at home. I'd say we're in for a miserable Sunday afternoon.

City's away record: 2 nil win at Wham in first game of the season. Since then, no wins, 6 nil loss at Chelsea and only got a draw at Wigan due to Bramble demonstrating his base uselessness. If we lose this, we are definitely in the relegation cart.

I believe we already are, if not very close to it.

[berbzy 'G']

Robinson

Chimbonda Rocha Dawson Lee (no ekotto)

Lennon Zokora Jenas Malbranque

Berbatov Defoe

We will proberbly lose about 3 1, or 3 2... I have lost confidence in the team...

[jrio]

2-1 Spurs. I have no idea who who scores except that Malbranque volleys an exquisite goal from over 20 yards. City have a player sent off. Arsenal have already won 2 nil.

[Chewy]

I'd go for

Robbo
Chimbonda Kaboul Dawson Bale/Lee
Lennon Zokora Jenas Malbranque
Berbatov Bent

Has a draw written all over it in my eyes.

They blew villa away 2day and look like a gud bet to finish in the european places. we cud do with mendes' guile right now. check out muntari's brace of goals wonderfull stuff!:cool:

[berbzy 'G']

Is Bale playing?

[Spur]

Is Bale playing?

No.

One or two rumours suggest it's not as long term as some think, and he'll be back around Christmas. Other rumours suggest it is a long term injury, and he'll be out for 6 months but the Club will be getting a second opinion on Monday, hence the silence on the issue.

[peterc]

No news, is supposedly good news.

anyone know any liks for sopcast or anything for this game thats 100% reliable

[berbzy 'G']

Anyone going to this match?

[Spur]

Anyone going to this match?

No, no-one is.

Spurs decided that after Zokora's recent comments about the crowd putting too much pressure on the team that the fans weren't even important.

We've all been locked out. Hope The Maestro is happy.

Anyway, a win, at last!!!!!

[peterc]

Good day for us today, the scum lose and we win.:D

[SCIFIN17YID]

w00t 3 points what a struggle it was.

[nuttyhotspurs]

**** me brown trousers time at the end. crackin game from zokora, all he has to do is sort his passing out and then do the same in every match and he will prove to be value for money

[Sparkystav]

All in all a good result there,

And ireland will be banned for the Cup game as well.

Bring em on.

Stav

[\jackdaw]

Everytime I feel confident about winning a game we get stuffed.. when I think we will get stuffed we win ....

We will lose every game now till March ...

[Spur]

Gotta mention Kaboul, even though he kept giving the ball away with 30 yard passes he was solid today. Dawson too. Chimbo too.

Steed was good as ever, Bent was absolutely terrible, and Jermain came on and showed why we should keep him, showed alot more about him than last week.

And thank God we got the 3 points.

COYS

[denis-cro]

c´mon You Spurs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spur]

What a disgusting tackle from Ireland, should have the book thrown at him.

A good player is Ireland, but a complete knob as well.

[denis-cro]

I´ m very glad that we have managed to take advantage of City playing without Elano, and with Ireland being red carded !!! Absolutely vital win for us !!! I´must say that Malbranque is playing some great football recently. Great work rate from him...absolutely delighted with his contribute ...

[nuttyhotspurs]

very scrappy defensively at the end but loved the fighting spirit, we need more of that

[spursmadnick06]

Defoe must start next week ahead of Bent who's been given more than enough oppurtunities to show us that he's not very good.

[Ginola's Son]

GET IN THERE!!

So happy just to have points on the board. Listened to the winner on the radio and then went mad

Of course when 90 mins rolled around, I couldn't listen...thank **** we won today. Cos Boro and Bolton both won. And more importantly, we beat one of the league's in-form sides with a severely understrength team and that will be a major morale booster. WELL DONE LADS!

[shakey18]

Poyet has just said on SSN that we WILL buy in January.

The problem in the January window is that the decent players are difficult to get hold of.

Then again who said we are going to buy decent players........lol

[Spur]

I think every Spurs fan out there is just feeling relief tonight.

[Ginola's Son]

Well releived.

On a side note, I couldn't even enjoy Arse losing, the GF DREAMPT that boro would win 2-1 and she put a bet on, against her own team and she's won £260. Even when she loses she wins...

Still, might make for a happier xmas.

Hold on, your GF's a gooner?

[peterc]

So, let's buy some players, just for the sake of it, shall we?:rolleyes:

[berbzy 'G']

We could of scored a couple of more goals, and Man citys only shot on target was there goal...

Man city fans are so ****ing lary... Especially when your sitting right on the border between spurs and man city supporters... stupid ****s! they certainly shut - up when we started singing to them: ' You've never won ****'all, You've never won ****'all ' ...

[hastingsyid]

we will win 2-1

[nuttyhotspurs]

i get angrier and angrier everytime i see that ireland tackle. i hope some yid broke his ****in legs on the way home the nobed

[Keanoldinho]

Great game we played well and defended really well Berbatov was class all game and Zokora looked good too. Vital win lets hope we can build on this and give a good performance against Pompey next week a win their would have our confidence sky high for the gooner game.

[spurs61]

A good and much needed result for us, thank the Lord for small mercies.

The brightest points for me were the fact that Berbatov looked more interested than at any other time this season and Kaboul was defensively solid even if his distribution was shockingly bad. Sadly Bent looked less a £16 million striker and more 16 rupees, he really is lacking in confidence and more worryingly, talent. I'd like to see Defoe given a run of games in place of Bent, he's far more a threat to oppostion defences. Steeeeeeed was clearly MOTM, along with Lee I've rarely seen a player go for ineffective to effective more quickly, both have become almost faultless in their recent displays. Zokora had a poor game but he didn't really look 100% fit from up in the stands and it had an impact on Jenas game; Jermaine stared fairly brightly and looked to get forward, but on the half hour Zokora had a word with him after a long surge forward and he never really got forward after that. Still it was a good, disciplined performance from Jenas and he is fast being mentioned in the same breath as Messrs Lee and Malbranque in the East Upper.

A quick word about City. I was impressed with them as a team and some of their younger player good particularly promising. Michael Johnson strolled around the park like a Rolls Royce and his range of passing and vision was in evidence, I did realise he was such a big bloke though and he relly puts his size to good use; a future England regular for sure. Kelvin Etuhu down the City right gave a good leason on how to beat a man a cross a ball on a number of occasions and he really gave Lee a hard time (although Lee did nothing wrong). The other player who caught my eye was Gelson Fernandes, he gave a gritty and intelligent performance and used the ball well. My only grumble was that he left his foot in on every single challenge he went in for. Oh and Petrov would have been a great purchased for us, but then we knew that already.

So all in all it was a decent game and a better result, there are still signs of improvement but it's going to take more than one win to rebuild the players' shattered confidence.

[Ginola's Son]

Hold on, your GF's a gooner?

Yes. Everybody here knows that.

So all in all it was a decent game and a better result, there are still signs of improvement but it's going to take more than one win to rebuild the players' shattered confidence.

It's all about getting a run going, not drawn games either, a set of wins, to be on 20 points before 2008 would be great, and I'll feel happier about our future in this division.

Two players who have possibly been as impressive or if not more-so than the new signings.

Johnson especially looks a real talent.

[RuFuS]

Gotta mention Kaboul, even though he kept giving the ball away with 30 yard passes he was solid today. Bent was absolutely terrible,

Sitting in the Paxton. i wondered what on earth Kaboul was doing wasting possesion like that. He did it at the start of the second half as well but now i understood a bit more. He glared at Bent. Which i could not see in the 1st half as he had his back to me. It was obviously something that they'd tried in training and he was expecting Bent to be there or thereabouts and he wasn't.
What was i was really encouraged about was Dawson taking charge of Kaboul. Even if things went awry like the long passes to Bent.He was there encouraging him all the time even if it was a little knock into touch just to make things safe. Well done Daws, be the Boss till the king returns

I don't know how you can say that. Etutu has played all of a hundred minutes or so and Johnston has been impressive, but not exactly amazing. Petrov and Elano have been sensational.

I didn't see Sunday's game but I have seen a few city games this year. I think Johnston has potential alright. He reminds me of a young Gerrard before he burst into a big player, but frankly I don't think he's in Elano's league at the moment.

Elano has been sensational in spits and spurts, Johnson has been a real revelation in the middle running the show when no-one else has been there - they have missed Didi recently after his early season show.

No-one is doubting who the better player is, just the one who has been more of a surprise and influence. Perhaps I am putting it out of proportion - perhaps not, I didn't mean the two have been world beaters but both players have shown real quality when called upon.

As it goes it just shows the quality of the City youth academy, they've turned it around in recent years so I hear and these are products from it.

[olly27]

Well from sitting in the East stand I thought City did nothing at all in the first half. They had a good spell for abouts 10 mins after their goal but all in all we deserved to win. Berbatov, Malbranque and Jenas were are best players on the day. Kaboul looked more steady and gave me some cause for encouragement despite wasting possession a couple of times. Lennon and Bent were probably the most dissappointing on the day for me. It should of been 3-1 to the Spurs in all honesty.

[Zinedinekilbane]

2-1
First game of the season for me great win, but I thought Bent, Kaboul and Chimbonda were terrible and need to be sent packing.
