Very odd comments from Poch post game. Hinting on leaving, lol.
Would not surprise me one bit. He's taken Spurs as far as he can on a shoestring budget under Levy. He's got more ambition than the likes of Harry Kane and clearly wants to make the step up to a European elite club.

Dear oh dear ... and all because you won a tight game that could have gone either way.
You can’t deny that the problems with your side might just multiply now though.

In Deli Alli’s interview he looks absolutely crestfallen. It’s another year with no trophies and this summer he’s gonna be looking at Kyle Walker and his bank balance and having a long hard think about his future.

Same goes for Alderweireld, Rose, Dier etc etc.

I said in about February that the FA cup was massive for spurs and without city in it they’d be favourites but once again they’ve fallen short - 8th semi final loss in a row.

Poch sounds about done too.

Yeah it did. One of them had a full on mental breakdown. Was amazing to see.
I especially enjoyed seeing a fat irate Spurs fan rolling down the stairs with the police before getting nicked. The ‘have you ever seen Spurs win the league?’ chants pushed them over the edge I think.

I wonder if this defeat will hinder their chances of getting top 4, Chelsea are only a few points behind them now with 4 games to go. Can they be trusted to win all their remaining games?

He'll be looking at his medal collection too.

8 years at Spurs and zero medals, one year at city two medals.

I think this Spurs team will start to break up now.

Can Chelsea?

Top 4 is set. Spurs have a very easy final few games.

Chelsea have Liverpool.

If the game was only 15 minutes long then yes it was a tight game that could have gone either way... after that though nah only one team ever in it

I dont even think it matters if it does. Its been much the same team for 3 or 4 years and they haven't done much really. Any benefits another year will do Kane, Alli etc will hurt their defence and Dembele. For all intents and purposes they've lost Alderweild, Rose and Walker so the break up is kind of well underway.

Well I don't buy into that armchair psychology bollocks anyways.

We're better than Spurs. As proven by the table. We won this game on our quality, not Spurs "bottling" it.
I heard media and their fan building Tottenham up as favorite for this game with their league win this season and recent unbeaten run at home under Poch against us. Play on the pitch they got all the time to become familiar with all season. Even got early goal too. What is not so bottling about it? Or embarrassing is a better term, given how Tottenham players all heel and ankle stamping all game?

If we're raiding Tottenham, these two should be on top of the list. Alderweireld sorts himself out in our defense, and with his ability on the ball would suit to a 2 man pairing with Bailly.

Eriksen is a bit more tricky, Pogba and him occupy much of the same space and I'm not really sure with our current set of midfield options, we'll have a tracker who can cover for either of them.

We can't stop here. This is bat country.

If we have even a sniff of signing Christian Eriksen, we sign him.

Could see Barcelona going for him.

We should definitely sign Alderweireld. He is the perfect ball playing CB that we so desperately need. With him in the side, Smalling might get even better as he won't have to worry too much about getting the ball forward. Apart from him, the only other player that we might end up going for is Danny Rose. Eriksen, Kane and Alli are all excellent players but none of them would be sold or come here. Our focus in the summer market will be on defense and midfield.

In defence of the kid, he probably had THFC written on his other cheek and wanted to make that side look like a reflection.
