BBC Live Text
74 Mins GOAL Man City 4-1 Tottenham - Sergio Aguero
The ball is played into the channel and picked up by Sergio Aguero who cuts inside before burying a shot, via a slight deflection off Spurs substitute Jan Vertonghen, across the keeper and into the bottom corner.
69 Mins Substitution Our final change - Vertonghen for Mason.
68 Mins
GOAL Man City 3-1 Tottenham - Sergio Aguero
He doesn't miss two in a row, does he? Sergio Aguero strokes the ball home for his third Manchester City hat-trick, on the same day he becomes the club's record scorer in the Premier League.
67 Mins RED CARD Fazio
On his Premier League debut, Federico Fazio is sent for an early bath. The Spaniard sees red for denying Aguero a clear goalscoring opportunity, on balance probably the right decision.
I'll throw this out there, though. Navas's cross got past two defenders before it got to the path of Aguero. If either of those had cut it out, would Fazio still have been shown the door?
61 MINS MISSED PENALTY Man City 2-1 Tottenham
Roberto Soldado steps up... it's saved. Joe Hart guesses right and makes a strong one-handed save down to his right.
60 mins PENALTY FOR TOTTENHAM
Roberto Soldado is brought down by Martin Demichelis. The referee points to the spot, but the foul appears to be just outside the area.
59 mins Substitutions Dembele and Townsend for Capoue and Lamela.
55 Mins Booking Navas for foul on Chadli.
HALF TIME Man City 2-1 Tottenham
36 mins Booking Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur) is shown the yellow card for bringing down Gael Clichy on the halfway line.
35 mins Booking Ryan Mason (Tottenham Hotspur) is shown the yellow card for a foul on Fernandinho
31 mins MISSED PENALTY Man City 2-1 Tottenham
Sergio Aguero steps up for his hat-trick and drills the ball down the middle - and straight at Hugo Lloris who saves with his feet. The rebound balloons in the air and the striker goes for an acrobatic effort but hooks it over the bar.
30 mins PENALTY FOR MAN CITY Man City 2-1 Tottenham
Referee Jon Moss points to the spot again. This time when Younes Kaboul wipes out David Silva in the penalty area. Little doubt about that one.
20 mins GOAL Man City 2-1 Tottenham - Sergio Aguero
Spurs will say the penalty was soft, City will say it's a foul anywhere else on the pitch. There's little debate about the end result though - Sergio Aguero steps up and confidently sends Hugo Lloris the wrong way.
19 mins PENALTY FOR MAN CITY Man City 1-1 Tottenham
Frank Lampard drives into the box but is sent tumbling when Erik Lamela bundles into his back. Penalty!
15 mins GOAL Man City 1-1 Tottenham - Christian Eriksen
What a response! Fernando sloppily loses possession as Spurs charge forward. Roberto Soldado sees Christian Eriksen on his shoulder and the Dane thunders in, with the help of Joe Hart and the City crossbar, with an angled drive. That is about 90 seconds between City's opener and Spurs's equaliser according to my stopwatch.
13 mins GOAL Man City 1-0 Tottenham - Sergio Aguero
Manchester City are getting a tune out of their classical genius Sergio Aguero (12:16) today.
After Erik Lamela gives the ball away 30 yards from goal, City spring into action and Frank Lampard plays a simple ball into the feet of Sergio Aguero who takes a second to weigh up the situation, then steps inside and buries a shot into the bottom corner. Pure class.

I can honestly say that in recent years I have expected to get a result in every game we play. This year against Arsenal I thought we could win. But this game I expect us to get beaten. If MoPo takes a practical approach and changes his personnel we could salvage something. But he won't and we won't.
I would love to be proven wrong but it will be one size fits all again.

Only an idiot would expect anything after the psychological damage they inflicted on us last year, but we have to show some guts and willingness to scrap this time. Oh and not conceding an early goal would help too.

I wonder if we will finally wear the away kits for once? The last time I saw them was the tour here in the US. Probably the nicer kit of the 3, even though that is not saying much.

Why cant we just bring back last years kits?:(:cry: Aways and the 3rd kits were perfect 10's. The home would have been perfect if not for that awful collar.

By the way, need to employ the same tactics we did vs Arsenal, but have to do it even better to have a chance of sneaking away with anything. The bus. Park it. About 10 of them.

*Better yet, pull the team bus right on the pitch and park it infront of goal. They wont notice a thing.:sneaky:

We can sneak a low scoring draw like we did against Arsenal if we contain them. I'm a bit worried we'll get overrun in midfield though if I'm honest. As long as we don't capitulate and show some damn spirit then I'll be happy that we can push on against Newcastle.

1-1. Aguero, then Eriksen late on.

Be optimistic for sure, but looking at the cold facts, and the performance levels against Liverpool, another team that inflicted psychological damage to us last season, and in the cold light of day only a foolish man would put hard earned money on us.

I watched most of their game at home to Stoke. They were very flat and got done on the break several times.

Where's Yaya been recently? I know Aguero's been on a long trip to Beijing breathing in smog. Silva? Dem tree are the ones to watch, although Dzeko has always mugged Kaboul off. Come on Younes, prove me wrong...

I enjoy a good joke as much as the next person, I have a good sense of humour, but come on you're just taking the piss now.
:D

We're fucked. Seriously.


If that's the case, we might just as well play our juniors and keep our first teamers out of harm's way.
