    Standard tactic from a winning manager.

    It is but it’s sensible “game management”.

    This seems like City's bad patch to me yet they've found a way to win everytime. The ****s.
    Can't help but admire that.

    The only way they won't win the league is if we beat them twice so next week is the big one. United win that and it's all still on.

    exactly. Every small thing gets you 3 points. That is why they are Managers and not just Coaches.

    Yeah I saw this and just put it on the LCFC thread (given how active it is haha). It’s a shame he felt he needed to go easy on Spurs so as not to be blamed for losing them the title when they never had it in their hands to lose

    Still just an opinion.

    It's not what I saw

    He’s admitted being lenient towards your players fearing the reaction from your fans. Bad refereeing but at least he’s admitted it now. It doesn’t reflect well on your club though

    ... nor me... I saw a joyous implosion of mammoth proportions that left me with a lovely warm feeling that still lingers to this day ....

    To be honest it makes no difference to our club. I doubt anyone gives any serious ****s.

    To me I think he's talking ****. If his mantra is that he fears the reaction of fans then he would always be accomodating that. I doubt that though considering some of the stupid decisions referees make. Saying it now just suggests he needs a bit of air time.

    TBH I didn’t want the game until the last few minutes as I found it better to distract myself (tension was unbearable). From what I have seen since there should have been Reds in the match. Strange he says it now. Doesn’t bother me given how thsings turned out and if you’d won and gone on to win the league (which would have meant a collapse from us)’he’d have had questions to answer to anyway. As much as refs don’t help themselves, sometimes they are in a no win and that worked fine for him. Probably didn’t need mentioning now really

    ... he'll be on soon, no doubt ... he's been busy Xmas shopping for a credibility detector ... so far it's taken an even bigger blow with Sky pimping him up on the "Roll call" thread - only for it to be met with overwhelming mirth <laugh>

    Real men don't collapse, John lad ... they leave that to lesser men (like the bet welching types) <cheers>

    Well given that we finished the job nobody can argue with it :emoticon-0148-yes: at least we don’t have to hear that if Spurs hadn’t lost the points they did they’d have won

    He's probably being quoted out of context, tbf.
