Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Didn't watch this on Sky, but how did the pundits see the result?

I assume its unlucky City, VAR is pathetic, Spurs were pretty poor and didn't deserve the points?

As opposed, to like any other team would travelling to City, praising us on how determined we were and how we managed to score 2 goals and get ourselves a point?
Why are so many of our fans obsessed about some mythical media conspiracy against Spurs.
It's so fuckin small time, defeatist, and if we're honest with ourselves, childish and pathetic.

An honest summarization would be we were poor, we were lucky to get a point, but VAR probably just about got the decision right.

Lets just thank our lucky stars and be happy we got the decision go our way.

After all, I don't see anyone on here suggesting there's a conspiracy to have VAR work in our favour
 
There's always something.

As for Harry...the boy is Spurs through and through. To suggest he lacks motivation is mental.

In an interview before the season he was talking about the Golden Boot.

Even if he wasn't motivated to play for Spurs, which is bollocks, he's still Harry Kane. The geezer who wants the Golden Boot. So there's motivation.

Either way, questioning Harry's motivation is mental considering how he became who he is.

Let's not start questioning our boy. Please.

We get enough of it from everywhere else.
Every player and every performance should be open to criticism.

No player, no matter where they're from or what their background, shoyld be considered bigger than the club.

So did you watch Skys coverage or not?

What did they say?
 
And people say it's impossible to get a decent back up striker cos they wont be happy to sit on the bench....
Bollocks. We don't want or need a back up striker.
Surely we're a big enough and rich enough club to go out and get a striker capable of challenging Kane for his place in the starting 11. Not just some bum happy to sit on his arse and make the odd cameo appearance.
Kane, today, looked and played like a player lacking competition or motivation.
That should never be the case when you're playing for Tottenham Hotspur.
Playing for Spurs should be an honour. Not a God given right.

JT on a wild rant, he must live for the days we don't win. So who's this mythical 'bum' sitting on his arse, Lucas who came on and scored, Son who was suspended ... just who is the alleged 'bum'?

Or are you just full of shit and vitriol as usual?
 
They said we were fortunate to come away with a point. I agree.
I'm also mightily relieved that we did.

Meh. It was the second game of the season, I wouldn't have bashed the team for losing to the best team in the country. Nothings won and lost in August

Turns out we get an excellent point and we go again though, happy days.
 
I can't think of a game in the last 10 years where we have been so undeserving of a point. We had a 2-2 at the Etihad a couple years ago that was robbery, but even then we had 5-6 shots. This was a smash and grab like I've never seen before. Amazing.

Consider yourself enlightened! :llorishowudoin:
You're welcome!
How about league teams and not National ones and currently playing ??
Zoff retired nearly 40 years ago :roflmao: he's 77 now. Even what you have submitted is effectively only 2 modern day ones (cannot include Lloris ) so that does show a rather limited number as I implied there were.

Let's face it - if some other team would play like we did, we would call it "anti-football" and would be fuming about the score not reflecing the game.

You are very right. But how many times has that happened to us, where we utterly dominate and hammer endless balls at the opposition only for them to poke one in our net and nab the game or draw? And the pundits then babble on about us not being clinical enough; that their noble park-the-bus was too effective etc etc etc spaff yadda bollocks.

We've had plenty of bad luck games like that. Today they couldn't get the job done on their home turf. Our attackers did enough, our defence did its job (albeit sluggishly at times) so now its our turn to drink greedily from the goblet of luck like pissed mildly uncoordinated medieval kings.
 
I would rather get battered at the Etihad by an in-form City side and leave with a point than to lose a somewhat even game. I can already see a team like Woolwich, Everton or even Southampton go there and get the compliments for their performances after a 3-1 loss.

They are miles ahead of everyone else if they are playing to their abilities, simple.
 
I am pleased for you. But it’s really a very complicated situation that your team and city find themselves involved in.

Many people despise City’s owners and far too often it seems City fans are utterly unable
to actually question why these people are investing in Manchester. It is not a charity situation. It’s not because the Shiek likes the Manchester rain a real lot.

What your owners are doing is “Sports Washing”. Sadly, each and every shiny new thing they give to your fans is tainted in real grief and sadness.m. Why don’t City fans want to see it for what it really is? that being cheating to gain.

An entire country bank rolls your City. Yet United never had such an advantage and yet dominated English football, proving that’s it is possible to succeed without being ludicrously doped.

Consider this, in May 2014 when City was winning the league, a woman was being sentenced to death via stoning. No amount of self gratification from a city win really makes that fact any better to stomach. But winning the league sticks in the mind of the masses and no one gives a fuck about that poor woman.

The UAE regime has so many issues about it that you can only look at obvious examples and ask questions about how it functions.

I don’t know if you have a daughter or will ever be blessed with one, but would you like to see any part of the world where she did not have free choice? That’s what City’s owners want to achieve. I’d like my daughters to marry whom they want, in UAE that’s not permitted. You can’t marry outside of your religion. That is simply not right.

When Raheem Stirling smashes a goal in, how many of your fellow fans consider that the people whom pay his wages would arrest him and “disappear” him if he declared himself a homosexual? City’s owners even got twitchy about relocating a stadium to Queens New York, yet they go unchallenged by all our media.

What plays out on Amazon Prime or In branches of the media is nothing different to what happened at the 1936 Olympics and money is keeping too many people quiet.

City’s investment ( simply put ) buys “Cheer leaders” for their regimes. For a city that once had Peterloo to end up blind to reality of the City group is really quite sad.

The choices for City fans seem to be to 1) “Happy clap” via Amazon Prime or 2) have the balls to point out what Der Spiegel has found to anyone who will listen.

On the wider point about North West investment. The stats show that the North West region gets the third highest amount of spending per person per year in England. And rather shockingly less money is spent on London than is spent per person in Scotland / Wales and NI. With that in mind I am not sure the reality of the north / South divide is as negative as has been suggested.

Anyway, I digress. 2-2 and Spurs were a bit lucky.- good. 2-2 and our supports can moan at Levy a bit, but also sleep well in knowing the only one who disappeared under ENIC seems to have been Jacques Santini. Ciry’s owners can’t say the same.

Fabulous post!

Absolutely on the nail. Well done.
 
Thought a point was brilliant today and the start of the season is the right time to play City; Sterling and De Bruyne looked shattered in the second half. We played poor but not many teams will get a point off City; I can't see Chelsea or Woolwich managing it.

A win against Newcastle puts us in a strong position before the Woolwich game. Win that and it would be a brilliant start to the season.

Before anyone starts, spare me the City jibes, it was old 2 years ago.
