As there seems to be a drought of City and Spurs fans I will get the ball rolling albeit a bit late...

Hoping for a spurs win here 0-0 so far.

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City line-ups ...

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Alli, Lamela, Eriksen, Son, Kane.

Paully D

Otamendi is some boy to win a header.

Mars Bar

Spurs have had the better of the half chances but switch off at the last vital moment.

And De Bruyne has scored on the counter attack.

Lord TSC

That was a sick counter attack. Awesome football.

frisbeeface

Ruthless

GreNoLi

Lovely.

Kiith

Walker once again costing Spurs.

Mars Bar

Webb is saying De Bruyne was offside for his goal

Looked on judging from the lines on the pitch.

Better with his head than his feet it would seem! :pac: He's lucky he didn't pull a hamstring with the amount of fresh air he caught there.

That's what I said but the angle of the camera isn't great. Webb has a load of angles at his disposal.

Kiith

He was a hair offside i'd say going by the lines on the pitch, but the attacker should get the benefit of the doubt.

GavRedKing

Good game so far.

Mars Bar

Spurs are so wasteful!

blueser

Good start for the lads. De Bruyne is looking an excellent buy at the moment. If we can hold out for the win here, it would make a massive statement considering we're missing 3 of our main men (Hart, Vinnie and Merlin).

GreNoLi

I prefer this set up from city, the Brazilian hoovers should always be starting.

Mr.Crinklewood

Next poster is a better footballer than Kyle Walker.

Kiith

I'm really not...

OK, which leg are you missing?

Johner

Get in!

RobertKK

Yeah Spurs, nice goal.

Kiith

What a goal from Dier!!

madcabbage

Lovely strike!

Johner

1 offside each. :pac:

Kiith

Walker was a mile offside...how did the linesman miss that?

GreNoLi

The linesman should be shot, worst decision this season.

Headshot

Great stuff from De Bruyne there for that spurs goal

Unearthly

Wow that that was a terrible offside decision

Mars Bar

Offside but that evens it out!

What is the City keeper doing?

blueser

Fcuk!
:mad:

Lucas Hood

What was Willy doing there? I don't think he should be letting that In.
Poor pass from Kdb.

GavRedKing

De bruyne was close to being off, walker is 2 yards offside :pac:

Paully D

That initial save from Cabellero was unbelievable.

Kiith

That's as bad a decision i've seen in a long time. Awful call from the linesman.

GavRedKing

Kolarov should have scored about 60secs before Sours goal too, was a poor finish, straight at Lloris.

Osmosis Jones

That was really, really bad.

Extraordinary tbh. Why video replays are needed asap.

klose

Shocking how the linesman didn't flag walker offside, brutal officiating.

Probably thought "it's only Kyle Walker".

The Backwards Man

What does Demichelis bring to a football team? I've been watching him for quite a few years now and I keep thinking there must be something I'm missing. But I'm sorry, I just can't see it.

NomadicGray

Alright, go on Dier

At least both linesman are **** so things have evened out

Kiith

This season has had so many bad calls. Refs really need to sort it out...not that i'm complaining this time :P

blueser

Two offside goals. Can understand the City one being missed as it was marginal, but the Spurs one wasn't even close. Walker was clearly offside. How could the linesman miss it?

Johner

In fairness the De Bruyne was a really tight call and there wasn't much in it.

The Walker one though was just horrific.

El Horseboxo

Missed the first city goal. But how does a linesman miss Walker being offside. He's right in front of him and clearly about 2 yards off. It's as easy a decision as you can make.

Man City, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Argentina. Think you need to look a little harder!

Edit: and, having googled Demichelis and seen the woman he married during the summer, i am now depressed for the day. Thanks Backwards Man!

Mars Bar

It was an awful decision by the referee. How are they getting continuously worse every season? City can't blame the ref solely though, they had their chance to clear it and they didn't.

dfx-

if there's a video ref, at what point do you stop that passage of play leading to the Spurs goal to see if it was offside. After everyone's celebration of the 'goal' or as the guy crosses it..

L'prof

Saw a replay of de Bruyne there, he was definitely off. Officials terrible for both calls!

De Bruynes pass out to Fernando(inho) at the edge of the box on the 45th minute was a poor decision to make, he should have lumped it up towards Ageuro and down into space to get to HT with a lead.
