I bet Mancini won't be bringing up the two red card offences City got away with. If it was the other way around we would never hear the end of it from him. They had lucks blessing today.
Exactly! What did Parker do to warrant him being stamped on the head? Then Lescott slamming his elbow into Kabuls face! Dirty tactics and Howard Webb did nothing about it.
That doesn't make what Balotelli did right. Rooney was wrong to do that just like Balotelli was. Players who stamp on other players be it Balotelli, Pepe or Rooney should get bans for there actions.
i think a draw was deserved.. wud have been diff if defoe had scored at the end and balotelli shud neva of been on the pitch.. duno what king was thinking tho
Luck had nothing to do with the game, or the fact that City sits comfortably in the top spot on the table. What Balotteli did could go both ways, I'm not sure if it was deliberate but it looked like he was trying to regain balance. The Spurs could've gone ahead with the cross to Defoe but he seemed to have hesitated and blew it. The better team simply won. And the best team is currently at the top of the table.
After looking at the play again I think it could've been deliberate. I just saw it once, it's not like I'm a crazy Manu fan that was just waiting for something like this to happen so that I could shove it in the face of other fans and make more excuses on why my team is in 2nd spot. :)
Gloomy get over yourself! I'm happy being second having not spent 250m and having the biggest injury list in the league. We are doing exceptionally well for the situation we are in.
And when it is the other way around every little thing is blown out of proportion so fair game mate. The disagrees proved you wrong, deal with it.
Im not a fan of any Premier League team so as a neutral I must say you are completely blind regarding Balotellis effort to 'regain his balance'. Was he trying to balance on Parkers head?
And I wouldn't consider myself a fan of City either, or any premier team. On a second look I think it could've been deliberate, but some people here such as yourself seem to be quick to bash about every City player's foul. Funny how most are ManU Fans...For the record I just like watching teams like City play, and I laugh at ManU getting stomped 3-0 by Newcastle. Which is a team I like watching as well.
This sport is such a joke. Refs need to review possible offenses like stomping on peoples heads and diving in the box for penalties. They'll never allow reviews because then they wouldn't be able to keep the sport corrupted/fixed.
damn. Tottenham really played with heart. At one point of the match you would think Tottenham spent 250 million for players.
then there was the idiots fail play on parker. only blind fanboys or people with no knowledge of soccer would claim that wasnt a red card offense.
city were lucky today. say what you will about MUFC having luck and refs helping them win matches, today you just witnessed a ref giving Man City all 3 points.
At least Tottenham won a Carling Cup recently, and it was a deserved won beating Arsenal in the semi's and Chelsea in the Finals. If Liverpool beats City, you'll face Palace or Cardiff in the Final, yeah well deserved.
All Balotteli did there as prove what a sick evil f**k he is. he knew fine rightly where Parkers head was there, thats the typa stomp that land people with factured skulls are worse.
Balotteli did't give a sh*t any way are the other. Fact is Howard Web had a clear few of that he did not do his job.
Balotteli should have been instantly sent of the field and be facing a ban, hell the powers that be should be looking into this now and determing how long he sould be out of the game still.
If Balotteli was not on the field the Pen would not have came about. Imo Spurs where robbed. Before i get a bollocking from the city fans.
Rooney has stomped in the past and im against any form of this idiotic behaviour on the field its not needed.
But how many grades did Balotteli take it up when he wanted to stomp a mud hole in a players head?.
It looks like all the London clubs are out of the title race then.
