Spurs have beaten City in 9 of the last 10 meeting as far as I know but I reckon 2-3 tonight.

Glad Bellamy is not fit but Adebayor always scores against us.

come on you spurs

tippspur · 16-12-2009 11:01pm

Great display tonight when it was badly needed,I thought Daws and Bassong were very good at the back, Ekkoto had his best game for a while,Happy man tonight....COYS

Mullo76 · 16-12-2009 11:03pm

great performance and good win. keeps us up there. Back 4 looked good. Wilson needs to go back to passing school, never seen so many misplaced passes.

And at least John W dog survived this one..

keane=cock · 16-12-2009 11:05pm

by the way was niko Kranjcar the best buy of the seaso for 2.5 mill???

Great performance and result and goals. I'm pleasantly surprised as I was a bit pessimistic after Saturday's disaster.

All of these predictions are delusional - ARSEnal put 3 past us, Chelsea put 3 past us, Man U put three past us - man City can score goals, and against our makeshift defence they will Tevez, Robbinio and Adabyyor will turn poor old Dawson, Corluka and Bassong inside out.

Our only hopw would have been to score more, but if you hadn't noticed our strikers have unfortunatly gone off the boil.

1-3 Citeh

Is your faith restored after tonight's result John

Ye hit the nail on the head Mark.

RichMc70 · 16-12-2009 11:50pm

Delighted with the result and performance tonight.

Tbh I was pessimistic going into the game this evening but fair play, the lads put in a all round good effort and got a well deserved win.

Man of the Match: Niko Kranjcar
Moan of the Match: How many shots did Hudd have and never hit the target once ?

Let's hope we can keep this up.

Just watched on Match Of The Day. Good performance although City didn't turn up. Kranjcar was very good. Think that he is currently undroppable regardless of how fit Modric is. He seems to tend to go infield so I'll repeat the point that I made a few weeks ago - why not play him beside Palacios and put Modric out wide. Would he really miss Huddlestone or Jenas?

How'd you manage that? Hasn't been on MOTD yet has it? :eek:

whitey21 · 17-12-2009 2:51am

Yep! you missed it! Mid-week special!!!

Even Hanson said we were contenders for 4th place on the performance:eek:

mushykeogh · 17-12-2009 8:40am

I'm actually a huge fan of BAE I think he's great
Who are we going to get to play left back come African Nations I certainly don't have any faith in Bale nice for him to get another win under his belt tho.

SuprSi · 17-12-2009 10:04am

Chuffed! Great performance, especially considering we kept them to one save from Petrov and one poor finish from Adebayor in the 2nd half. Nikko was great, though I thought Benny was superb and gave anyone that came near him the run-around.

We needed that though, as Liverpool won too. Let's keep the momentum for Blackburn at the weekend and hope our away form continues.

DOC09UNAM · 17-12-2009 10:09am

Palacios had a brilliant game, watched it on SS last night, and you guys need to keep palacios defoe and modric in January, and I def think you're in with a shot of 4th, possibly 3rd depending on how arsenals season goes...

Hmmm, dunno about that. He was solid, but his passing was woeful many times, particularly in the second half. He regularly gave the ball away to City, or passed it out of play when we were looking to counter. It's odd as he is well capable of passing well but just hasn't been doing it of late. Having said that, his ability to intercept and break up play is still key to us doing well, though how he wasn't booked for one of the two tackles before the tackle that got him the yellow I'll never know!!!

Most of the time when he passed it out of play he was under tough pressure or he was trying to set lennon off down the wing, and alot of the time, if he lost the ball, he tracked back and won it back for spurs... thought he had a decent game to be fair to him, better than hudd anyway...

StillRickyVilla · 17-12-2009 12:52pm

Had to win.....and we did. That keeps us back in it and prolongs the challenge for us for a wee while longer!

Although we looked like we played well and scored goals at the right times, I really think Man City didn't turn up on the night. And Mark Hughes had a shocker as manager! Anyone who has studied Spurs knows that Lennon is by far and away our most potent weapon and snuffing him out is the key to suffing Spurs out. Yet he played an ageing Silvinho at LB, never a proper defender even in his prime, and Robinho LM, my Auntie Marge is more likely to track back to help out defensively.

So I think we were really helped by City's lack of appetite on the night and Hughes' lack of homework!

Jury still out for me - I want to see how fired up they are to put in a performance up away to a very physical Blackburn side.
