The best of us let Spurs have 4 goals @olivia321 😌

*whispers* At least we managed a point today 😏😅

Positives:
I didn’t contract pneumonia by staying at home
We didn’t lose
Ollie put a ball in a goal
Unai in a black shirt

Negatives:
We get our annual penalty decision on a day with bloody whipping wind (it was deffo this and not Youri booting it where my elderly mum could have stopped it)

Anyone else enjoying the better atmosphere on Bluesky? 😜

Emery after 4 straight defeats: Comes back from a goal down twice and is a missed penalty away from a win Guardiola after 4 straight defeats: Fields the most expensive squad since time began, losing 3-0 *so far* Emery > Guardiola confirmed #AVFC

Redundant thought based on the number of upcoming matches and it’s great when the whole team is fit etc but … does Romero get back in this team with the form he’s been in?

No. Cuti been a liability at times and annoys me how he fucks off to play for Argentina with a knock and always comes back fully injured. And so sorry I called Ben old and tit 🤣 my bad! 🥴 x

So, Pep has lost more games as a manager against Tottenham than any other team (9 times). I do think one of City's problems is that they didn't sign any players in the Summer as they only signed 3 with one going straight into the academy squad.

Debatable if a few players want to be in the team and if ego is taking over our ability to actually play cohesively.
Haaland doesn’t know how to do anything other than score goals that are easily set up for him. He looks lost in teams where we don’t play a good midfield. A reason I would have kept Julian any day. Everyone’s probably bored of me saying it but KDBs already in Saudi even if he claims not to be.
Also could easily blame it on Mrs Gundo and her negative jusjus. The comebacks never as good as the original stint…. Take shrek 3 and 4 as examples absolutely pointless

You have to replace the players before they lose their peak, especially when you have a team that's been at the top for so long, the cycle ends, and City definitely haven't done that. Players like Walker ageing. Players being injury prone, lack of depth and back up. For such an expensively assembled squad, they are lacking depth, especially defensively.

When you look at the City squad you can really see the lack of depth that they have now and defensively they are far more easier to play against as some of them haven't got the pace that they had before. I mean Walker has noticeably got slower and the fact that Werner beat him for pace for the last goal says it all, Stones seems to be picking up a lot of injuries now, the same can be said for Ake and Gvardiol is not a CB and is better suited as a midfielder IMO. It's all well and good having some of the best attacking players in the world but if you aren't going to strengthen at the back then you are just asking for trouble as you need quality all over the pitch and not just in one or two positions.
 
I agree with all of this. City need to spend in the January window. But….im not bragging….spurs are unbeatable on the odd occasions they play like that. We took the game to them. Kulu is on a magnificent run of form so was always going to be a handful and Madders had a point to prove. I’m certainly NOT writing City off though….they will be back and someone will soon get trounced by them….just glad it wasn’t us.

Don’t think we will though and with rumours of an already fractured squad why bring in more players to offset the balance

I’ve said it before but Cole Palmer looks like he should be wearing a shell suit and trying to sell ket.

He looks like he snuck on to earth, bizarre.

Pep without his little German mate & fellow wine drinker Klopp might actually be washed 😂 It will be hilarious when we fail to beat them next week and even funnier when they are somehow stood in May with another medal around their necks, but for now i’m enjoying the downfall 😂
 
Well duck me, that was a good day of football for us in the Panda household!
Spursy bf is a right happy chap tonight. He did spend up to the 90th minute telling us all that City would still win. He is being all sassy now 😂
Might be a good time to hint at the bmw m4 i have my eye on 😉
And my beloved Arsenal back to winning ways (sorry Forest) Martin odegaard is what makes us tick and we just look so more together when he is in the team.

I was out in the car when Arsenal where playing so had the radio on and the commentator described Jota Silva as the scruffy version of Jack Grealish 😂
