Eh how? It's a game; why should i support Spurs? I am a United fan but i still watch other teams play and have my opinion!

And yes; we should have kept Tevez!

I dont know any united fan that would support city over any club in England (except maybe Liverpool) . . Did you start supporting united last year ?

Haha, Tottenham Arthur just been shown on SSN (bloke who looks about 300 with a scruffy beard)

Wish I was there

the good: City go another season without being able to attract the likes of Kaka or Torres.

the bad: This seasons St. Totteringham's day may be in doubt given the two's respective form.

City are a heartless team that were very poor tonite . . They will need a Jose to make their mercenaries play like they care for the club (not just care to prove their previous clubs wrong for selling them) . .

So if a player joins United (I'm assuming your a United fan because of your dig at Carlos) it's for the love of the club, but if he joins City it's because he is a mercenary? You think the only reason Tevez plays well is to prove United wrong? He was horribly mistreated by United, refusing to make an offer until Ronaldo jetted off to Madrid. He plays well because he is always given a chance to play regulalarly and in his proper position, a bit like the way Rooney has flourished this season.. Sure there will be players who are in for the money, same at every club though, just this week Assou Ekotto said he had no passion for the game and was in it for the money.

Arsenal only need a draw at home to Fulham Reserves. I'd be fairly confident it'll happen this year.

Oh please **** off, how is the team heartless? what an absolute joke of a comment.
We bottled it tonight, meaning all our players are mercenaries and they don't care about the club? Jesus, Christ.

We have been much improved under Mancini, it was 1 draw too many and Hughes had to go, Hughes cost us 4th, in all honesty.
Best team won, congratulations.

credit where it's due Spurs

Robhino, Adebayer, Tevez all looked more motivated in making ripples at their previous clubs then playing their hearts out for city . . Tevez in all fairness is a fighter, but he still spent alot of time moaning about United . . Classless . .

Dont be ashamed, it happened to Chelsea until Jose United their mercenaries . .

That aside, do you think that maybe Hughes didnt have much time to help bed the squad down and by the time mancini got the club he had 11 easy league games to come and a more settled squad ?

parker kent

Tonight showed the flaws in City's squad too. The difference in the 2 defences was shown up throughout. Spurs had so many chances. They played well and deserved to win but City lack protection in midfield and at the back.

But being a United fan I really hope they don't notice and buy more hot and cold strikers instead!

oh I was right about spurs

they do have a better team

Feel sorry for him because his knee. He is brilliant but I doubt he'd get through a WC campaign. He should go though.

Was Rooney a mercenary, he got 5x his Everton wages at United. No. Sometimes players move because it's whats right for them. Get over it, there's a richer club in Manchester.

No. . .If a player joins a team who have no successful pedigree over United or Liverpool or Arsenal, they are not doing for success, its simply for money or because they love a club . . How many city players love the club ?

Ronaldo moved to madrid because it was his dream and Madrid are a decent bet for success at anytime. . I have no problem with that , good luck to him. . Tevez went to city for money . .

Its not simply about "loving" a club, its about being a winner, as opposed to just in it for the money . . Are we clear . .

PHB

The difference between joining City and join United isn't about money. It's about potential to win things. That's why somebody joining City makes them a mercanary in a lot of the cases. Not all the time. I think Johnson for example joined to further his career. I think Tevez joined for money, then again, he wasnt wanted at United.

Mushy

I can't believe I've liked no less than 4 of Des' posts! They do have me laughing though.

Fair play to spurs. I'm one not to like big spenders achieving it all*, so this is perfect. Still thought City would win though.



*I know Spurs spent quite a lot, but have built it up more.

Paul Tergat

Beautiful stuff Spurs.

Hope that keeps the noisy neighbours quiet!

Tottenham have spent nearly 150m in the last 16 months so stop claiming City have bought their way and Tottenham have built.

I'd love to see him there too, but considering how many injury worries they have I think Capello would be mad to take a player who can play on average once every three weeks.

Ya selling Dunne was a very poor decision indeed, its amazing still how many goals they concede considering how much they've invested in their backline

Have to laugh at people voting for Spurs after FT.

Europa Leauge, Semi Final in the CC.
Falling at the last hurdle is horrible, but that's progress.

Spurs have quite a decent coefficient, depending on who else qualifies we might be seeded in the non-champions qualifiers.

Well done Spurs!

They did some amount of running down the wings. I thought Lennon did very well for the 70mins he was on considering he is only back from injury. How many blocks did BAE make?! (Any one else think he looks like the offspring of Snoop Dog and a fish?)

Crouch, for such a lanky awkward looking fella, can pull off some silky moves with the ball.

Both my Dad and my sister asked me why I was shouting for Spurs. I didn't even dignify them with an answer...

KittyeeTrix

Just would like to say well done to Spurs tonight and hope they can go on to get something out of Champions League.......

Enjoy yer night Spurs fans:). Ye definitely deserve it...

Going to go away now and cry a little more for city!!:(

SlickRic

anyway....

well done Spurs.

after Defoe, Lennon and Kranjcar got you going earlier in the season, it ended up, IMO, being Dawson and Bale who got you there.

obviously it was a team effort, lead by Redknapp, but IMO these were the big players.

Dawson won't get in the World Cup squad, and it'll be a travesty. in fact both Spurs CBs should go. one game every 10 days is fine for King surely. i'd rely on him before i'd rely on Terry or Ferdinand right now.

I for one, am off to get pissed.

Hurrah for Spurs.

Odds on them not getting past the qualifiers for the CL ???
