Good game Spurs unlucky at the end win some you lose some...at least i can sit back and relax watching the arsenal/utd game without my heart popping out of my chest,btw i fancy arsenal to win today 3-1..(helps me dream team out no end)

Well if City win the league they will have to thank Sir Alex for been a good teacher

5 mins of fergie time at the Ethiad  

just to add well happy with the Spurs i aint seen such fight for along time....we will be right up there come may,where? i dont know but champions league footy should be ours

...Defoes falt for going down with cramp

AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Superb second half display from Spurs which deserved all three points and then Balotelli (who should have been dismissed for an horrendous stamp on Parker's head when already booked) scores in injury time.  Guess it was probably a penalty but tough on a valiant and deserving Tottenham.  Balotelli = Thug, he'll get his just desserts in good time! 

Now for another 19 game run with just one defeat!

Quite agree reference Baloteli,he is a time bomb waiting to explode just wish he was around

when Roy Keane was,now that would have been tasty

Talking to my mate the another night and we both agree if Man Utd dont retain

the title,then we would much rather Spurs win the league than that lot

It's days like this when I wonder whether there is any point watching football. Incompetent refs are killing the game.

...and louts like B.

I think the time has long since come for football to come in line with Rugby - both in use of video refs and in terms of not allowing anything by way of dissent or appeals.

My blood is still boiling.  I've had a bad week from a personal perspective and I'm just grateful that I watched this game at home as I've just kicked just about everything around my lounge that is not nailed down!!!  Looking at the replay Howard Webb turns around just as Balotelli is removing his boot from Parker's head and may just about be able to say that he didn't see it (no surprise there then) but in which case the FA should issue a minimum ban of three games.  Balotelli knew his knee had connected with Parker's face and quite deliberately flicked back his leg to stamp on his head. It looks uglier and uglier everytime I watch it.  Unbeaten at the Ethiad, now I know why!!  

Agree totally. It was a stonewall penalty. And quite frankly Defoe shouldn't have missed that sitter. But we're getting to the point now where teams have to take their chances to compensate for screw-ups by refs. If there is such a thing as kharma, Shiteh will be found out later on this season. Simply put, they got out of jail today - especially after their second half performance.

RVP just misses an open goal, that ends it IMO, AW must realise that he has a very weak squad

Well said Matty, couldn't agree more.

Just about to say there has got to be another goal at The Emirates but who for???

 The answer Aresenal!!1 1-1.

Edit: Make that 2, 2-1 Utd!  A good second half just like the earlier game.

Whilst I appreciate the moral correctness, I couldn't disagree more. A fantastic afternoon of football if only for the City v Spurs game. Feel sorry for Spurs and have just left a South London pub absolutely rocking with atmosphere over todays games. Admittedly I have an alcohol influenced glow, but thought today...so far...has been excellent. I admit I wasn't around in the 70's when money was less of an influence, but if moiney keeps bringing such classic games to our country I for one will happily watch the excellent entertainment on show.

...and thatrs from a Liverpool fan £100million spent and watching the shite yesterday!!!!!

Arsenal are so far behind the top sides it is untrue .

a good day for Manchester as they show their superiority,  AW IMO needs to get some money from the board, 3 defeats in a row for Arsenal, first time for 5 years

You don't know how good that sounds Marcus, assuming you are including Spurs as a "top side"?

Probably a fair result on balance at The Emirates which is more than can be said about the game at The Ethiad!!!!!

Just watched the Citeh Spurs highlights and Balotelli is a stone wall red card AND Howard Wedd DID see it but, as usual, bottled the decision!!  He alone has cost Spurs about six points this season.  Bizarely enough, Joeleyon Lescott should also have seen red too for an unnecessary elbow in the face of Kaboul.  11 man Citeh didn't deserve to win and 9 man City definitely would not have.

Hard as it is for me to say it, I'd much rather Utd win the League than Citeh who with their open cheque book simply don't deserve it.  

Rant over, time for a lie down.

Having had time to calm down and reconsider what I said earlier does anyone have Howard Webb's home address so I can go round there with a baseball bat.
