Are you mad? Hernandez was fucking born offside! HE constantly breaks down play because of that and the midfielders just pump long balls to him because pace is his only weapon in that situation. He’s like the goal poaching version of Walcott.

I actually agree about finishing – Hernandez is superior at the moment, but that will change. And I think this season the difference has been marginal – Hernandez has not been deadly at all.

HE has football ability on the ball – that’s the key difference. Not as much as Berba, but a lot more than Hernandez or Macheda. In fact I would argue he has better dribbling and control than Rooney, an area in which Rooney has regressed.

Better Control then Rooney you are absolutely 100% totally wrong, he would have scored more goals today if not for a poor first touch, he scored a goal that he couldn't miss.

we look like inter Milan in our away kit.

The real troubles in life are apt to the things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle tuesday.

Welbeck has a poor touch and certainly no where near the touch Rooney has. If he had a touch as good as Rooney's Welbeck would have scored more then one today.

How we keep winning with senior citizens in the team amazes me. SAF will never buy any new midfielders as long as we keep winning with Giggs and Scholes. Rumours have it that he is playing these players until he finalizes a deal with two midfielders that he is hoping to sign this summer. Will have to wait and see as I’ve heard this story before.

Calls for retrospective action against Balotelli... can someone explain to me, how the FA could justify punishing a player, who scores the winning goal in a game?

They'd have to admit that the referees failure to properly deal with incident, cost Spurs 2 points... maybe 3... not to mention the points given to a team, that quite probably should have only had 9 men on the pitch.

Another strong argument for video help for refs in the modern game... it really is time to sort this out.

"Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching' tu madre! Come out from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you."

you will never see video referring as long as blatter and platini are around. it becomes too hard for the cheats in european and south american football to buy games if decisions can be changed. and these cheats are very powerful.

they would rather bury their head in the sand and pretend nothing is happening in their beloved game. pretend that this technology doesnt exist despite the fact that every other sport bar their own is using it.

I wonder what would happen if the Premier League told Blatter to stick his authority up his arse.

The PL is the most powerful league in the game, and I think that if one strong league made a stand, others would follow.

I think the Germans would follow, the Dutch, and the US as well... that would get things started.

Blatter has ruined FIFA, and FIFA is ruining football... I don't think many teams in Europe would disagree... even Blatters Spanish lackies would agree that he's an embarrassment.

Eventually someone has to take a stand against the whole, "old boys" structure of FIFA... it's ridiculous in the 21st century to have such an incompetent, unprofessional bunch of obviously corruptable cronies running the great game.

Blatter and his ilk will never just give up their positions and walk away... it will have to be taken from them...

It was spurs inability to score at virtually an open net plus their shitting themselves defensively which cost them the points. You cannot say that the ref cost spurs the game. That is conjecture just as it would be conjecture for me to suggest that city might have scored anyway with 10 men. Spurs should not get away with their fuck ups.

I have said it time and time again. Ref errors are part of football. Doesn't change the fact that spurs showed what spineless shit cunts they are.

I hope they fail to make the top 4. 'Arry can piss off for all i care.

He obviously has a deep seated dislike of Spurs and the Ref errors are part of football line is the worst of the lot. It's so shockingly easy to amend and with serious money waging on of these 'Ref Errors' it shouldn't be accepted in the 21st century.

I love the way you argued with the fact that Spurs should have made it 3-2 and they couldn't defend for shite in the final few seconds of the match.

Oh and Welbeck > Hernandez.

I pointed out that they weren't 'bollockless' and that they played very well and that most neutral observers would probably come to that conclusion having seen them. As well as having some very talented footballers they have plenty of spirit in them and you can see around the team. Friedel in for the erratic Gomes, proper attacking full backs and Scott Parker battling for everything alongside the Modric and Bale's. They are a proper team and you don't win as many games as they have this year by being fragile.

But no insert cliches that are about two years out of date now about them not having the fight in them and always fucking it up and you must be correct.

I judged on what I saw yesterday and they were good, I've no time for Scott Parker but don't tell me he is to be found wanting in spirit.

SHEESH IS RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT TO A CERTAIN DEGREE EVEN IF YOU ARE FOR THE MOST PART WRONG

I think it's a case of ignorance is bliss, people don't want to take them seriously but they are a serious team. They play us in a month or so and I think they will be all over us, we got them at just the right time in August with them having the first game postponed and being clearly rusty.

They were bollockless. Tottenham's first goal came entirely against the run of play when City had made it 2-0, were dominating possession (and looked like they were going to score again) and came out of a defensive fuck up.

You talk about Spurs improving but they flatter to deceive.

Spurs will drop points when it really matters. Last year, they dropped points at home to teams like Wigan and they will do so again. They couldn't get past Wolves the other week.

If they bottled getting into the top 4 at the end of the season, it would not surprise me. They 'should' get into the top 4 given how many points they have accumulated but I'll be interested to see how they manage in April/May. They've benefited from how poor Chelsea and Arsenal have been. If Liverpool had beaten Bolton the other night, they would have been 3 points behind Chelsea. We all know how shite the Scousers are. That tells you everything.

We Benefited from playing Spurs,Arsenal and Chelsea at home at ideal times. We dropped points at home to Blackburn, Just like 'Ref Errors' it's part of football as you say.

City were 2-0 up and fair enough they had shell shocked Spurs but I don't see how they were on for a third as they had only scored their first about 6-7 minutes earlier. Spurs play on the counter so possession stats shouldn't worry you.

I don't believe they flatter to deceive, I think they are finally showing some of their obvious potential after years of flattering to deceive. Some players such as Bale improved beyond recognition and they have a more balanced team then before.
