Can’t say I’ve seen him play but the little I’ve seen in last 2 minute google search says agreed. We should go after him.
Arse same ol arse what a dive to stop Everton break with a near death injury miraculously cured to boot at least the other 3 are trying to lose a top 4 spot as well of late
Kane could be done for the season. Will be interesting to see if sp*rs continue to cope well with his absence as they did earlier in the season.
Not only is Kane done for a bit but Dele broke his hand. Probably from breaking his fall from falling over.
City are not going to win the quadruple. The commentators are talking about this being the new "Golden Age" for Tottenham - shame they haven't won a trophy in their golden age. City missed Joey Barton today. btw - Barton was arrested for knocking out two teeth of Barnsely boss Strendel in a racially motivated attack on the German.
I don't understand how Aguero was offside when Christensen was the one passing back. I know it nicked off Bernardo Silva but that was an inadvertent touch.
Agreed I think this was a really bad call. Spurs weren't even claiming offside... was a huge proponent of it at first, but I am really getting fed up with VAR
Obviously if Walker was playing the pass, Aguero was marginally off. That wasn't what happened though, Erickson (not Christensen) played the ball which was a bad pass to begin with and that bad pass played Aguero onside. I don't get it?
"A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by: interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate" He's offside according to the rule, as far as I can tell? Silva clearly touched the ball and altered its course to the benefit of the offside player. But I also have been very wrong about offside calls before, including against Spurs last season... so they do need to simplify the rule, perhaps.
I think it's a shit rule, but interpretation is like much worse. Marginally off is marginally off. I'd like to see it again because on the replays they show his position as Erickson is passing not the fraction later when Bernardo makes contact.
Rule needs a looking at, for clarity's sake. Kun didn't gain much advantage, that's for sure... but it's just one of those thing, off by an inch is still off. Tough one for City, but IMO would have been tougher on Spurs who I think deserve to go through. I'm still curious if there are other elements of the rule I'm missing... I assume the "or touched by a teammate" language is the new stuff that's relevant to their efforts to "reset" offside, which is the same reason Kane was ruled onside against LFC last season? I'm not really sure.
Bloody ell, the two clubs I dislike most in the world have qualified,tonight I'm praying hard that Ajax win this thing, if not them then the Spanish Harlem Globetrotters, anybody but Sp*rs!
So what happens if Spurs win the CL, Chelsea win EL, and top 4 are City/Pool/United/Arse. Do all 6 teams go to CL next year?
This is such a weird position. The first game was even and Spurs were dominated in the second leg where they scored the winning goal off a suspected handball. How in the world did they deserve to go through???
The handball rule doesn’t apply to that play, as far as I can tell — pretty clearly not a deliberate act IMO. As for the first leg, Spurs scored a very nice goal and City did not.
That’s not “deserve to go through”. That’s team A scored a goal while team B did not. City dominated in terms of chances created over two legs. You’ve reduced “deserved to win” into “scored a goal”, which is silly.
