Completely respect your opinion but I'm not sure I saw it that way, I don't think he explicitly instructed players to rough up Kane in isolation, more that he would have instructed his players to compete physically overall. It's a pity Kane came off with what looks like a season-ending injury but the level of physical competition from City was nothing unusual. It's incredible how Fernandinho manages to put in so many niggly tackles in every game whilst escaping being sent off, and in fact that's a very impressive ability given the position he plays and how effective he is at stopping the opposition

Maybe you're right but I didn't notice our other players being on the receiving end of as many fouls as Kane was. Maybe that's just because he was going for every ball he could and wasn't shying away from contact, but it does seem very suspicious to me.

Man City fans perspective from the Blue Moon forum;
Interesting! Access for them should be difficult means they queue and turn up late whilst all our fans are there ready ?

Not sure if anyone knows but In terms of the concorse area, have Spurs made it proportionally smaller for the amount of fans in their end to maximise the space for home fans?

What I haven’t seen anyone mention is just how pathetic their support was. Barely audible. Contrast that to what would have happened if we were playing Dortmund for example.

Plastic fans of a plastic club.

Only matched by the completely silent Real Madrid fans at Wembley last season

Lol at Guardiola putting it down to us outmuscling City and playing long balls as if we’re Stoke. Yes, Eriksen, Son, Winks, Rose and Trippier, they’re up there with Vinnie Jones, Robert Huth and Kevin Davies in the all time top premier league thugs.

Great manager, his teams play wonderful football, but this shit is just bitter and deluded.
He reminds me of those precious boys at Primary school that had expensive trainers and too much confidence, but would almost always cry hysterically if they farted too fiercely

I read an article about why we don't have 'troffs' as the Manc calls them.
Its to do with the psychology of standing with your cock out right next to other men, stage fright (the time it takes you to start pissing) is much reduced with our urinals, making people piss quicker and therefore less queuing.

Plus no one wants to feel the splashback of the massive bloke you're shoulder to shoulder with at the troff, who's blasting out 12 pints of hot carling.

Cant remember where I read it but it was gripping stuff.

Edit: Found it in case anyone is interested in urine:

"Blasting out 12 pints of hot carling"! Very amusing post! Though it does take a special kind of pervert to read an article about the psychology of urinal vs "troffs" ;-)

Agreed. No matter how much they may have suffered in the past (which, to be fair, they have) I can’t bring myself to have any fellow-feeling with Man City fans. I know they're only human, but their loyalty comes with an association with one of the most appalling and despicable sets of people (in the loosest sense of the word) in the world and they, as a fanbase, have directly benefited from that regime. For me, that makes them complicit. My apologies to anyone who thinks that may be harsh, but that's the way I see it.

I’ve been asked before how I’d react if that sort of oil slaver bought Spurs and started pouring money in to win us titles. In that scenario, I hope I'd have the courage of my convictions. I genuinely believe I would because ultimately the magnitude of what the likes of Man City's owners do regularly, for me, far outweighs any loyalty to a football club. It would devastate me if I had to turn my back on the club I love, but I would have to withdraw my support from any organisation whose owners perpetrate the sort of enormities the Emiratis do.

I cannot get over what Man City do and I can't help but view their supporters as enablers of tyrants. For me, by continuing to support the club, they validate the Emirati's attempts to sportswash their murderous regime.

I do feel a little pity for a Man City fan who chooses to abandon their club on that point of principle, because it can't be an easy decision, given the way that club loyalty comes about and most of them won't have chosen to be associated with human slime. But they still have a choice. And it's not as if they arent' aware of what their owners do. It's unkind, but I can't bring myself to be kind in this situation.



I agree, except with the analysis that Guardiola is a great manager. I will concede that he's good but, in my view, he will never be great if his record of winning is only with clubs with enormous resources. Were he to consistently take the likes of Forest or Derby (I chose those because I have a particular manager in mind) to League or Champions League titles, or he delivers 13 titles for the same team (again, a particular manager in mind) then I'd be willing to argue the case for greatness.

Beyond that, the fact that he prates on about Catalan independence and tries to paint himself as a man of principle while taking the money of a bunch of tyrants and murders totally undermines any possibility of according him respect. If I'm being completely frank, I can't even stand the sight of him.

Sorry guys, went on a bit of an anti-City rant there. There are few things that really elicit outright hatred in me, but City is one of them for what they do to football and what their owners do to innocent people. For me, that club has absolutely no redeeming features - everything about them is tainted. Apologies for the unburdening.

Top respect mate???

Guardiola will say whatever to deflect from his team's and his own failings last night. Not playing KDB, Sane, and Bernardo Silva was a big gamble. In any case, we have rattled them and he'll be concerned about their chances in the second leg. He'll remember what Liverpool did to them in the second leg of last year's semi, by keeping it tight at the back and destroying them on the counter, and we have the quality to do replicate that.

Anyway, I loved last night's game and we destroyed their away support in the singing stakes with "Where were you when you were sh*t?" and when they had a very brief song we replied with "We forgot that you were here"! Let's hope we can keep them quiet again in the second leg in Manchester.

City fans were more plastic than their team. Anyway I thought City were just an inferior version of Wolves but a little better than Cardiff.

Only young yids should be in the new south stand. 18 - 30ish. The Park Lane wall.

Anyone under 30 living in London is already paying 80% of their salary to live in some shithole flatshare situation. If you think there's 17k 18-30 year olds who can afford a season ticket then you must be one of those Made in Chelsea types living off their daddy's credit card.

It is called entitlement, they believe they have a right to win every game and be entertained, they don’t see a role anymore for cheering the team, they have abdicated that role to a dictator’s cheque book.

And he very clearly instructed his players to go a bit rough over Kane and that, combined with the refs inability to show any cards to city players each time they exhibited such behavior, resulted in Harry's season being effectively over.

after seeing it on the box, it was 50/50 challenge and Kane looked the more aggressive going in to it.

Harry does these from time to time when he is fired up or frustrated. He was getting some rough treatment and I think he wanted to dish some out. Not in a dirty way, but he defo wanted to let delph know about it

Slight exaggeration, it's more like 50% haha. But it's why I didn't end up going to most of the Wembley games because when I got that refund I needed the money more than I could justify going to the game.

Having watched the extended highlights, I actually think City were over the top aggressive throughout the match, Kane was clearly targeted for rough treatment and they were lucky to finish the game with 11 on the pitch. Delph really didn’t need to follow through with studs showing on Kane, there was the rake down Lucas achilles, Fernandinho’s elbow, and a plethora of violent challenges on both Dele and Kane. Laporte could’ve easily had a second yellow and Otamendi was thuggish all night.

Wanted to rate this, 'Like', 'Agree', 'Funny' and 'Informative', but I can't. So I went with 'Winner'
