And so one pops up.. Must be hard for you to take all this..
Went straight to the game from the airport, had visions of spending most of the time looking at my eyelids - absolutely cream crackered as only managed an hour's kip on the plane. But so glad I made it. Great second half, every player played their part, but special call outs to the following:
Thought Eric had a blinder, such a mature performance.
Lamela was pretty effective and ran his heart out.
So happy for Harry, his work rate is never in any doubt but unfortunately, he is now judged soley on how many goals he scores and his critics really need to a good kick up the backside, for putting so much pressure on his young shoulders.
Hugo again made crucial saves, his importance to our team cannot be stressed enough.
Toby and Jan are developing into a class double act, complementing each other well.
My only gripe was with the ref - can't believe the yellow cards he doled out .... and the ones he didn't!

Tbh I was in the same situation. 0-1 after 20 min.. Props for the guys who stayed though!
Top day out. Top performance.
Haven't left a stadium feeling like that in a long time.
City fans are some of the worst I've come across. Even when they've pasted us they don't sing, but I genuinely heard nothing from them for about 80 minutes.
Now for MOTD.

Fucking brilliant.
Fucking jokeWe are second on MOTD, have to watch Woolwich first
I think they wanted to make up for those offside calls.
The pass from N'Jie for Lamela's goal was perfect.
:clintonohshit:
Sweet watching it all unfold the second time around on MOTD. May make it a hat trick of viewings with a lovely cold beer & a decent stream.

Are you talking about Danny Murphy?
He's alright I guess but the accent would put me off
An emotional day.
I had to move my daughter into her Uni digs today so recorded the match, ensured no chance of learning the result and have just finished watching it.
When City scored a marginally offside goal after Walker's shocking excuse for a pass I assumed that normal service would be restored. Capitulation against our bogey team. Again.
I was determined though to see the whole game "live" and so I did. When Eric scored our blatantly offside equaliser on the stroke of halftime I felt that we could hold what was a weakened City team at worst.
What a pleasure the second half was.
Loris was outstanding, as per usual.
Vertonghen made some excellent runs in the first half, and together with Alderwiedheld was simply superb in defence.
Davies was a revelation. Even when exposed 2 against 1 his "none shall pass" stance was delightful.
Walker was OK, but has no footballing brain, so no surprise there.
Dier is a Spurs icon already, which given his age, is extraordinary. One yellow card away from suspension, sadly.
Alli is not a DM, but is so, so good he can do a job there. Very excited about him.
Eriksen is a bit rusty, but what a player he is.
Son was superb in defence, making tackle after tackle. He will be a key player for us.
Lamelaaaaaaaa! An epic performance. Loads of mistakes, but his will to succeed and his innate talent finally told. I have hated on this bloke and I love the fact that I may be proved totally wrong.
Harry Kane. Thank fuck for that.
Credit to BT Sports for allowing Glenn Hoddle to cancel out Michael Owen's inane jibber jabber and for pissing on Sky's lamentable football coverage from a great height.
Apologies for being a negative cunt and predicting a mere 2-1 win earlier in this thread.
I am looking forward to reading this thread while watching MOTD.
COME ON YOU SPURS!

Well just light me up a big fat, fuck off Lardi. Some days it all just works.
Thought the teams had swapped shirts at half time. Best performance for years, that.
I am a happy man.

In the words of that French commentator:
Quel match et quel reversement.
Still buzzing. My only sadness is that I wasn't there to see it live

He's a Tranmere fan. His son will have had a great time though.
