Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Another absolute muppet of a referee.

 

That's the level of refereeing we expect!

 

We can't get out of our own half.

Nor do we show much interest in doing so.

 

Then Akanji commits a really obvious foul and nothing.

 

Not a good sign that, whenever we pass back to Hugo, they start pressing him in the hope of causing him to make a mistake

Quick, sub Sanchez on!

 

Great cross from Perisic. Massive header from Ake.

 

I'm out...no reason...but freezing my nuts off seemed a better proposition than comfort rocking myself in front of the tv

 

You've missed around 37 City corners and a few nothing yellows. Nothing else.

 

Great tackle by Romero.

 

Hojbjerg booked. Not sure what he's supposed to do to avoid that.

 

It should have been the other way around

 

Am in East Croydon... don't ask ... a lot of suspicious yellow stains on the floor tbh

 

Be at least 30 yards away from the player who has spent more time rolling on the floor than Haaland?

 

So, the gents on Platform 3...or Boxpark

 

Let's see how informed, educated and entertaining the BBC match tracker is...

Another booking for Spurs, this time for Hojbjerg who leaves a little something on Lewis after a coming together.
The teenager Lewis has been in the wars a bit tonight, but doesn't look daunted at all.

Interesting euphemism for "diving little ****"

 

1st attempt on target. Deflected header by Son.

 

It's the yellows that kill you. Either there's a second one and you're off, or you have to completely adjust your game to avoid the second. Changes the matches subtly but decisively.

 

And, funnily enough, guess which teams never seem to get that first yellow...?

 

Great save from Hugo there. That deflection wasn’t easy to anticipate.

 

Haaland dives again.
