That defending! What a goal-saving stop.
Edit: Can't defend from that, though

Premier League Matchday 16 (December 8-10)

Son gives Spurs the lead.
Great goal from Son.
Slightly related but this guy behing me today kept screaming ‘you fat bastard’ at Lukaku and several people kept pulling him up on it thinking he was shouting ‘black’ instead of ‘fat’. Stupid either way but I’d like to hope IF that Chelsea guy didn’t use racial he at least gets a fair hearing, Twitter seems to have decided already.
Aye, I really hope Sterling comes out & clears it all up. If he was racially abused, feck that guy. If he was just abused, then /shrug, I guess that's football. Either way, I kind of feel like players have a duty to come forward in this kinda situation.
Tired of saying "take a bow Son"
Great assist from Son to set up Alli's 50th Spurs goal.
Dele has been brilliant tonight
Been much more mature this season.
AKA less good.
Southgate making an impression perhaps?
Excellent result considering our 2 best players are on the bench. Dele has been superb, MOTM.
He has been excellent this season - not scoring as many goals sure but much more influential and involved in matches.
When is Kane going to bulk up? Still a skinny get.
I keep seeing the Chelsea fans post about him being decent. His distribution is erratic and his goaltending/saving skills are average. The price is a reflection of how valuable Chelsea perceive him to be. By 24, De Gea was top notch. This is not in the same ballpark. Nowhere close.
Eh? You want him fat?
does Maguire not even start for Leicester now?
He was injured the last 5 games.
First off nobody compared him to De Gea since he is the best GK on the planet and was already one of the best in the world when he first came to United despite him taking time to adjust to the physicality of the EPL. Kepa's distribution is at times suspect but his kicking is one of his best aspects while his "saving skills" is perhaps his most elite attribute so I'm certain you have no idea what your taking about and probably watched Kepa 1-3 times before at most.
Ahhh that classic.
Really good win that while resting two of their biggest names for the Barcelona match.
That was elite against Wolves?
True though. He is developing into a more rounded player. He is going to be amazing.
Perhaps but because David Luiz beat the press with the initial long ball to pedro, your whole defensive shape was disturbed. Kyle Walker was about five yards behind Willian at one stage. The whole was disrupted. That would never happen under Mourinho or simone. Not saying they are better. For me Peps system is the best and he is the best at it. But like any system it is flawed.
Barcelona and Bayern under pep used do the same. Defend at your opponents end. But you cannot let them beat the press. I think when Luiz played the long ball there were four city players near him or in and around the same area. What City often do if the press is beaten in MF is foul the player. A tactical foul.
Agreed. Thought he was most dangerous. I would have subbed Sterling.
Just watched Chelsea and City.
Tim Sherwood at half time: "I would rather be in Pep's dressing room ... than Sari's". What a plank!

I've just seen Chicharito's goal. I'm not necessarily saying I'd want him back but damn the boy can finish. If we could give Rashford that predatory instinct he'd be unstoppable.
I like how City fans suddenly turn into experts on the world finance the moment somebody mentions their club spending. I'm not taking some moral stand here, I know Chelsea spent a lot, but we're talking about current squads/teams/managers, not what happened 10-15 years ago. My reply was about comparing Sarri's job vs Guardiola's and City current squad is easily 200 mil more expensive than ours.
Why only 1 game today? 
And funny how "adjusted to inflation" is taken as fact.
Yea ok cool..one game. I just said de gea is the best goalie on the planet but if we look at Arsenal’s first goal on Wednesday I can say the same for him. Don’t be obtuse...kepa is a quality keeper and I’m sure most who actually watch him would say the same
"What looks like..." Jesus.
Disgraceful, the police need to deal with it and if they're proved guilty they should be dealt with severely and banned from attending for life.
I've dealt with our fans on Match days a lot in the past as I used to run a pub near the ground from 2003-8, and frankly some are scum. Once had a guy threaten to glass me in front of his wife and kids... Battles with away fans, Spurs and of course Leeds which was probably the worst in 2003.

This, this and this. I had people jumping down my throat in that ‘Would you want united to lose the fa cup final if it meant Liverpool didn’t win the CL’ thread for saying no, because I care about united’s success more.
The reality is I’m only 21, about to be 22 soon. I wasn’t alive when the Liverpool-United rivalry was at it’s peak; and I only got into football properly about ten years ago, when I was about 11 and it was 2008- around the time when the takeover happened and city was on the come up and were beginning to become a real threat to united so for these reasons I hate them more than Liverpool. If this makes me unpopular with the #TopReds on here then so be it.
Wolves ahead at Newcastle. Jota. Terrible defending.
Newcastle equalise. Perez. Rondon nearly scored with a freekick that bounced down the wrong side of the line. 1-1.
Great freekick and super cross afterwards to assist the goal. Both by Rondon
1-1
1-1
Excellent Newcastle equaliser. 1-1 after Rondon hit the bar he delivers a pinpoint cross for Perez to glance in. Great goal.
