Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur - KO- 5.30pm GMT Sat 17th August 2019 - Premier League match Preview and MDT

[Buzz Lightyear]

I saw at least two fouls like that committed by Arsenal players today and not once was the phrase ‘tactical foul’ uttered. They have been conditioned. It is like a Pavlovian response now.

Well you have Neville and Tyler to keep it fresh in the memory

 

[Skoorb]

VAR isn't going to fix shite refereeing.

It’s going to need some real bottle to call it as “clear and obvious”. I don’t expect to see it ever in the PL.

 

[Colin Is The King]

The two City goals.

 

[BamaEngineer]

It won't matter how they try to tip the scales, we will find a solution and overcome it.

I bloody well do - the first time Liverpool need it!

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Well....yes. We're pretty awesome, to be fair.

But that's the point - the only thing (I think) that can de-rail us, is the agenda that almost the whole football world seems to be waging against us.

No just certain bodies the top six clubs and certain individuals plus Klipperty

 

[Skoorb]

Wow! Other than complete, blinkered bias, quite how Oliver gave a free against Bernardo, I'll never know.

Incompetence doesn't cover it.

When seen alongside the failure to penalise Lamella for grappling Rodri in the box.......then bias can be the only conclusion really

 

[Hominid]

On a more positive note - Sterling is almost unrecognisable from the hesitant striker of two years ago. Golden boot?

 

[Skoorb]

You could bet the mortgage that the first time that happens to Salad the dippers will be awarded a pen

If as we say that had been Stretford or Liverpool Then I would expect them to change the rule immediately

Yep

Our announcers did it as well. I hate a conspiracy theory, but it must come down from the higher ups. No doubt about it.

It has been highlighted hugely so everyone involved will be spotting it, but on when City are playing, never happens in any other game

Wherever there is money, there is corruption - we all know this. And there is a hell of a lot of money in football (hell, just look at the prison record of FIFA, UEFA etc.).

After FFP and all that, all the dodgy decisions, etc. etc. etc. you'd have to be particularly naive to think that there wasn't an agenda.

Bring it on, we'll beat them regardless.

 

[Hominid]

Well, we are so far!

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

We’re off again

 

[Colin Is The King]

Great stop Lloris off a deflected shot by Zinchenko, I think.

 

[Colin Is The King]

Great interplay leads to a wide shot by KDB.

 

[BamaEngineer]

Kev's shot accuracy is not quite all the way back.
