Meanwhile, on the BBC... Handsome Nick: This game has been ruined by the referee. Soft penalty. Ridiculous decision to give a second yellow for a player standing their ground. It started as a great even battle but Paul Tierney has completely ruined this match as a contest. Mike Riley would be proud. Look, compared to some PL clubs I could name, I really don't have the same level of disgust towards Arsenal that certain others generate (go on, guess which ones...) - until ****e like this pops up, which is straight out of Anfield or Old Trafford
Good half. Weathered the early storm and then made the most of our chances. Holding deservedly off. Crucial to keep our feet on the gas second half.
Off out on a long walk ... too tense to watch so thought I'd get me comments in before I go... OMFG....Kane is not the same player he was before he demanded his city move last year! Sanchez ffs...you just knew it Son is having one of those games Why do we never get penalties???? How was that not a red card for xhaka???? I hate football See you all sobbing on the other side guys and Maggie COY S
Took us a long while to get into the game but almost all key decisions have gone our way which is a miracle given how much Tierney hates us. Not over by a long way - they finished the half the stronger side. An early third goal would be lovely to settle the nerves and effectively kill the game off.
Bit rich, the twat popping the ref when the idiot Holding should have been booked twice before he picked up his first yellow.
We all know that Tierney will try and level things up so we need to be extra careful. You can see Davies giving a penalty away and getting a second booking, them scoring and us going down to 10 men happening!
My daughter in Bournemouth just rang and I expected bad news...**** me was I wrong !!!! Then saw my pre match post failed...but feck it...it paid off!!!! Anyhow...only half way round my walk so here's my contribution to the 2nd half. FFS...wasn't blowing a 3 nil lead against 10 man City bad enough without this pain??? Why does Kane always take the shot on instead of taking the simple pass? Christ...why is son playing like Rasiak? I spent all day praying to a god I don't believe in for something I knew wouldn't happen...the world can burn tonight. Remember when we were 2 up v Arsenal in 2012???? How can the same ****e keep happening
Wil them lot decide that 4th place will not decided on GD, and go all in (hoping to induce a Spurs collapse) to try to salvage a non-loss ?? In which case how many more goals do Spurs have to score in order for them to write the game off and save their legs for the Toon game.
I fear you are right. Ben is going to be targeted for sure. Rodon could replace him but not the game to drop an inexperienced, match-poor young lad into the heat.
That will be down to Conte game management (the instant he sees that certain players are in danger of this) .
Somebody on the BBC is going to get such a punch in the dick... Nick Orchard: Two goals up. One man up. 1/2 of the match to go. Could there be a better set up for a Spursy second half?
