Beg to differ.

A point against Tottenham at home is not a massive result by any standards.


Look at our condition. Look at their form. This Tottenham side is more balanced that any Spurs side we've ever had to face - even the Bale-led side.

It's no longer LolSpurs. MP is slowly transforming them into a very reliable side. With Chelsea down and out and 'Pool still accommodating to a new system, Spurs could make it into the top-4 this season. They're a very, very good side under MP.

They've only lost one League game this season and I'm not surprised.

And they were unlucky to lose that too

Now we need our short term injuries back for after the international break, hopefully no new long term injuries until new year at the earliest when wilshere and wellbz return and we are in with a shout at the league.

City drew Aston Villa. We drew an Inform Tottenham side that at the moment looks better then M United, Chelsea, Liverpool etc... I don't really see the issue here? Not saying Wenger isn't to blame for not bringing in outfield players but i feel better then i felt before the game tbh...


So should we base our results on their results? They have a much bigger and better squad. Naturally we need to make up whenever they slip up. Saying they slipped up so us slipping up is okay is not right. All this matters if we are serious about winning the title. If we are not then anything is okay.


Mate if you think we are going to pick up three points every time we step on the pitch pick up a controller and put it on semi pro that way you won't be disappointed..

To say we'd have won with a signing is highly speculative, to say the least

I just feel this game was very much winnable. You may disagree and think one point was fine i respect your opinion but contrary to some opinions here this Tottenham starting eleven isn't as big a deal as it being made out to be.

If you want to be winning the league this is the kind of game you want to be winning imo. need to be sorry.

and Europe can do one, we aint winning it so sack it off until we have a shot. May even do us all a favour long term, if England loses the 4th place cl qualification spot due to our poor performance it could force our board to invest knowing only 3rd will do if we want maximum profit.

Doesn't matter if you won five on the bounce you need to give your all to get the best result. Winning 5 on the bounce doesn't mean we should be happy with a draw against an opponent we have a very good record at home. Winning 5 on the bounce doesn't mean we should trundle along and wake up only in the second half.

Its unrealistic to think its possible to win a league title unbeaten but we did it. Anyway he didn't say we should win every game but if we fall short of winning the league by a couple of points come May then I know which game I will look at.

Their individual players are absolutely nothing special and on paper we should destroy them.

The game, however, was not played like that at all. Poch was better tactically today and his team were raring to go, only really sleeping for the last 20 mins. He got more out of a lesser group of players and they were good, probably one of the best Spurs performances I've seen at our ground tbh. It was very difficult all day for us to do anything, ARSENAL were restricted to set pieces and crosses...I mean wtf? Really? Arsenal? Yeah.

Seriously cannot be upset with a point after that match, prior to it/prior to City game I would not have accepted 1 point but all in all it is fine.
