spurs dominating possession now, but adebayor looking wasteful and vdv invisible
― mizzell, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
parker having his worst game for spurs too
― mizzell, Sunday, 11 December 2011 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
vdv and adebayor completely lacking interest, lennon and bale aren't on their toes, walker not one bit bothered about defending either goal, and the ref happy for it to be a physical affair- yep, we're going down here today

Shotton just had one of the worst halves of someone purporting to be a professional footballer I've ever seen. He also set up 2 goals by throwing it very far.
VDV has been poor. Why is Bale right and Lennon left?

If City win tmrw there is no way in hell that Arsenal or Chelsea are making up 12/13 pts on them in the 2nd half of the season.

bale and lennon switch wings all the time. people like to complain about it. can't see spurs scoring off crosses anyway with 11 stoke players in their own box.

spurs getting totally hosed by the ref here today. Shawcross can fuck off as well. Woodgate should have been off in the first half also.

if the defender pulls his foot back after kickin you it's no foul in stoke

this is effed up -- same referee disallowed stoke goal in same fixture last season, surely they are (if not entirely consciously) liable to favour stoke?

this is a v. open season, 5 teams still kinda in the race by december
Hmmmmmm. Not really. City are 10 points clear of 5th-placed Chelsea. Looking back, the last four seasons were all closer than this in mid-December. This time last year only 3 points separated the top four and Spurs in 5th were just 7 points back (and Bolton and Sunderland were only 9 points back). The last time the pack were out of contention by mid-December was 2006.

ok but utd have lost their best players (pea and vidic) and i still feel their is a major collapse at city, making those 10 points less of a gap than they seem atm. i think it could be fun up until march (in which utd just run away with it.)

It all depends on City having a bad patch, but there's no particular reason why they should. They're destroying nearly everyone and it's not because they're in exceptional form imo, they're just a stronger squad of better players playing in line with their ability. Everyone else bar maybe Chelsea is more likely to suffer a dip, and that's only because Chelsea have just had theirs.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
They employ Balotelli and you say there's no particular reason?
http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/eden-hazard-v-dijon/
Hazard on how to 'pass it into the goal' commentator cliche. (Totally ruined by the post-goal stadium musics but a fun goal nonetheless.)
― big popppa hoy, Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
He's a good player though. Anyway, haul him off, put on Agüero, sorted.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
I don't really know what's going to happen - I feel there's about a 50% chance that City will just pull away and win by >10 points, but there's also a 50% chance things will stay fairly tight for a while. I could see City having a wobble, but I'd be very surprised if they had a total implosion - I can't see them finishing lower than second. I could see United coming anywhere from first to fourth.
― The Artist Formerly Known As Teh HoBB, Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:06 (twelve years ago) link
all of that sounds about right
― Ban (Julie Lagger), Sunday, 11 December 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
That sounds about right. Tomorrow night could be absolutely key actually - on paper it's the hardest game City have left this season(!)

van de vaart's corner in the 1st half was fine wasn't it? i.e. the ball was hanging over the edge of the quadrant? referee in not knowing the laws of the game shocker.
