Man City vs Spurs

[SpaceCruiser]

Arsene Wenger has also been asked to sign players within a budget and to be repsonsible for the club's financial health. can you imagine Redknapp doing the same? he'd be spiking stories about "constraints" and "lack of ambition" left right and centre

With all respect Waxers, Wenger is more accomplished at persuading foreign kids than Harry is

Corrected for you.

[Wax Jacket]

So we're actually agreeing ...

yeah I wasn't sure on your angle there

Somewhere between aggressive, argumentative and autistic?

nope, I viewed it in a purely "I wonder what his angle is"

There are only 3 guaranteed CL spots.

4th place gets a place in a qualifying round, and a tough one these days as well.

That seems to have bypassed the entire media.

Spurs will finish 4th and lose to Ajax before next season has even started.

That's exactly why I want Spurs to finish 3rd so I can LOL when Arsenal get knocked out in the preliminary rounds.

Considering Arsenal are playing Fulham, who wont want players injured for the Euro final, i cant see this happening!

Score draw or City to win for me...

Should be a belter.

[LUX]

neutral on this.

OK, Spurs as they have more English players (?), plus an English manager.

[Compo's Hat]

I doubt it'll be as good as this meeting between the two sides.

For the record i think it'll be a draw tonight. If Spurs don't make the Champions League this year they never will as City will have big money to throw at world class players with Champions League football included in the package. A City win will take them a year closer to challenging for the league title.
