OMT ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Emirates Marketing Project***

Whispers, nothing direct, but enough have been going around that I'm prepared to at least buy them, especially looking at his recent form.

Ok.

Wht reasons do the 'whispers' give for this move? Initiated by AVB? Enquiry made direct to club from nother club and club can't resisit? AVB and BAE fallen out and called truce until the summer??
 
Re: MOTD2 Alan Hansen "A game City should never have lost".

Remember leaving Goodison earlier this season, thinking, well thats 3pts we will never get back, perhaps, yesterday you could possibly say was the day we did?

I wouldn't go that far at all, if City had truly taken the game to us and squandered an abundance of chances I might be tempted to buy into this guff about how City "should never have lost this game" but they did lose it and they lost it comprehensively in the end.

If neutralising a game and trying to slow down the tempo in a bid to snore out a 1-0 victory is your idea of a team taking us to the sword then fine. But possession is only as good as what you do with it in my opinion and City done sod all with theirs for the whole of the second half.

THE WHOLE OF THE SECOND HALF!!! FFS!!! What planet are you people on that you were so impressed by City's workmanlike performance. They lacked the vital hunger for the three points and it showed. They were only willing to commit so much and in the end it was our commitment to drive forward in search of the victory that left them floundering and unable to respond.

Three points were ours deservedly. It's not as if we scrambled two injury time goals and one was a complete gift like we gifted Everton. All three of our goals were finely crafted efforts.

Nah, to say City were dominant in possession and in control of a pretty non-eventful game first half whilst not looking too threatened for large periods of the game is one thing, to try and make out they was robbed is a complete fallacy.

Like I said how on earth does a couple of reasonable saves and one missed chance constitute a team that was robbed?

Absolute codswallop!
 
Re: MOTD2 Alan Hansen "A game City should never have lost".

i thought we matched Emirates Marketing Project perfectly for the whole time before we scored. only difference was tevez who was on great individual form, while bale looked to be a rusty and unable to fit in.

aside from that - toure, kompany, dzeko were pretty much anonymous. i repeat - we kept toure, kompany, dzeko anonmymous so there's some good work there to be recognized.

naszri was both good and lucky for the goal... left unmarked, and walker being a panic mess just inches away possibly unaware that he could even be a hindrance to loris...but he was resorting to alot of professional tackles and and was having more impact with late, dirty challenges then attacking flair.

both naszri and dzeko were out of place and remain subdued throughout the game.
 
Re: MOTD2 Alan Hansen "A game City should never have lost".

Hansen never truly endorses anything Spurs do. He usually ignores us or damns us with faint, begrudging praise.

After a run of tough games, and this being their third in a week, I fully expected City to fade in the latter stages. And, as David Platt was quoted in pre-game stories, the battle wasn't physical, it was mental. The players were both burned out and disheartened by United's big lead.

Any good analyst would have mentioned that as a factor, and acknowledged that though Spurs were fresher, there was some rust to work off with the team's minor layoff and Bale and Defoe needing to find their rythym after injuries. But Hansen, of course, is not a good analyst. We really shouldn't be wasting energy on him.

Its been all over the press a few times this season, seen him linked to both PSG and Monaco

Says it all.
 
Re: MOTD2 Alan Hansen "A game City should never have lost".

Agree with Hansen - for the first hour of the game they were massively on top...it was almost too easily for them. We'd struggled to create anything and it looked like we were hoping something would happen rather than expecting to create a chance. The subs completely changed that though. What amazed me more about City was the lack of fight and resilience after we scored the first and second - had that happened against Utd they would come flying at you but City were surprisingly tame

Gulp! Yeah they were quite impressive for 60 minutes, but massively on top? You've somewhat over-egged the pudding there my friend.
 
Re: MOTD2 Alan Hansen "A game City should never have lost".

football isn't about dominating possession, having the most shots, limiting the opposition, being pretty, its not even about sportsmanship

its about winning, nothing else

Re: MOTD2 Alan Hansen "A game City should never have lost".

If there was a point or two between Emirates Marketing Project n manyoo, at 1-1 they would have come at us hard.

But we'd still score and win 3-1, COYS !!!
 
Re: MOTD2 Alan Hansen "A game City should never have lost".

In a world of awful pundits Hanson is up their witht he worst and most biased.

Try picking between him and Alan Smith as who you'd rather never see on TV again. It's a bloody hard choice.
 
It's easy to say in hindsight that Defoe was always going to shift it and shoot... but can you count his footsteps?

In 2 seconds he takes about 20 steps, no wonder Kompany was still thinking "Dur, shall I go left or ..."


Love it to bits.

He knows that beauty is going in the moment it leaves his foot, he is already on the half-turn before it hits the net.

Would love to see him go on one of his mini-goal bursts over the next few games, would be perfect timing
 
Nice to see us beating yet another top 6 team this season. After beating ManU, Arsenal, Liverpool and now ManCity, only left Chelsea to add to the big teams we have beaten this season. Too bad we couldn't beat Everton home or away. Hope we can do that next season. This was a typical Spurs performance and result. Spurs tends to do well when not given much chance. We have done exactly that by beating ManCity when not many expected us to do that. Hope we will be boosted by this win to try and win the remaining matches.

Due credit to Dempsey, Defoe and Bale for scoring the goals to beat ManCity. Dempsey again showed he can come up with important goals if given the chance. It was a brilliant goal by Defoe. Wish he can score more goals like that. I think he was determined to score against City as he has had a great record against them, scoring 7 goals previously. Hopefully this goal will boost Defoe to get back his earlier goal scoring form. Great to see Bale creating the opening goal for Dempsey and scoring one himself. It proved he was not affected by his injury setback. Hope Bale can go on another goal scoring run to reach and overtake the 20 league goal mark.

IMO, Hudd was our man of the match in this match. He inspired our attack after coming on to replace Parker. Holtby did well to assist the goal by Defoe. But Hudd's contribution was more as he not only created the goal for Bale but was pulling our midfield together. Due credit for AVB for bringing on Hudd, Holtby and Defoe just when we needed it badly. Won't mind if we started the team that finished this match against Wigan. But was again disappointed with Dembele's form. He has started to make too many mistakes like giving away freekicks in dangerous situations. Fortunately, ManCity didn't take advantage of that.

Not really surprised to see us conceding yet another soft goal. Don't think our defence have the quality or consistency to keep clean sheets against big teams. Hope AVB will address this problem next season. We definately need a top quality defender or two to improve our defence. Our entire defence was at fault for their goal as they were either too sloppy or too slow to react. But despite that, thought Lloris made some important saves to keep us in the match. Hope he can continue that in the remaining matches.

Was really delighted to see us come from behind to beat the defending league champions ManCity. This is the kind of the performance and result that will lift the morale of the entire team. Hopefully we will now go on a winning run to finish in top 4 and reach CL next season.

Must say, it is really enjoyable looking at how AVB celebrates each our goals. He seems to have more passion than the players, looking at how tamely the players celebrate sometimes. Due credit to AVB for that.=D>
