Never been happier to retract my statement about being tonked. COYS !!!

[WrekinCrew]

Thanks ref!

[President Merkin]

Never a pen anyway.

That was an immense performance for a side missing seven major players. Some of you ladies need a sense of perspective.

[Guvernator]

Considering how patchwork our team is at the moment, that was an incredible performance, well done to the lads.

Only thing that sours it a bit is that we've given Arsenal and Liverpool a boost.

[theplayingmantis]

Said it lways a result up there city so casual...should have been out of sight but so so casual. Not all there cracked up to be.

[VTC]

truly amazed by the effort and the come back. roller coaster football
where have our spursy gone ?
I now would like to see us tonk WHU on Thursday

[Ascayman]

Another quiet game of ange ball

[Scarfie]

Incredible performance, was dreading this and first half didn’t disappoint on that front, looked like it could be an embarrassing result. But to be without so many players and in such key positions and play like that, hats off. Shame we have so many injuries as I fully believe that City and Spurs are the two best footballing teams in the league and would be great to see then go toe to toe over the season. Also goes to show we only had normal injury time minutes, credit to both teams wanting to just play football!

That said, what a team City are. That’s what I hope Spurs aim to be in a few years

I actually don't care. It's been ages since I have really enjoyed watching Spurs, and consistently this manager has given this back to me. We are never going to be the best team in the Prem, but having a team which plays with integrity and delivers performances regardless of the squad issues....I'm loving it.

I was of the same mindset, I thought a draw would be the worst result.... but you know to even think we have a chance in the league was a ridiculous notion only 4 months ago and 4 months ago I’d never thought I’d see such great football again! Absolutely bloody love it

[S600BSB]

Fantastic point COYS!

[Ascayman]

We went there without 11 players gave them 2 goals and still got a point…

I’m not sure many other teams could do that.

[mickk]

Well that was unexpected, great game to watch from behind the sofa.

Agreef - How the ehck did we do that. What a perforance, what a team.
Sat with a pub full of city fans - they were gutted . They should have won that in the first half

Yeah let's ignore the fact should have been 5.1 at half time, naive football only allowed by cities complete casualness, we would clearly be champions elect were everyone available....is it any wonder other fans hate the delusion we have?

We were playing the best team in world football, got a result, and you're moaning?

Spursey.

[ChocolateFrog]

xG of 0.54.

I'd call that a win.

A point at City is good. I said they were vulnerable. Always are. However it only helps Arsenal and victims...although when city wake up they will walk the league as ever, but some sort of moral victory is silly. As others have said should have been well over by half time. It wasn't due to luck. Had it been we would all have been moaning like hell. Yes enjoy the result and entertaining game but let's not pretend if city had their shooting boots it would have been a rout and everyone would have been questioning the tactics.

Odd. I’ll moan about the fact that points wise it’s more of a win for other teams than us, but considering we could only name 2 goalkeepers and 4 children on just to make up a bench, let alone playing two average fullbacks at CB against the most frightening forward line in football at the moment, what did anyone expect? We possibly escaped the first half... but second half I’d even say we probably should have won it was our endeavour.

What I like take away is that with this way of playing, with all our players back, we’d have won that.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda.

I'm happy tonight, not because we were world class, but we showed proper grit in playing city without a lot of our first team and got a result. Why are you so down on us ? It's not healthy.
