[Weststander]

Spurs have gone for all their tall/muscle men, dropping the creators.

I’ve been to watch yankball but never appreciated how narrow the pitch is

Man City took the lead in the first quarter after an 8 yard touchdown play by Mahrez.

With a diving touchdown by wide receiver Terrell Zaha.

It’s putting me off watching and very annoying! As for the surface which is normally really good...

thats a nasty strip down the middle. like pitches in the the old days, before HD.

What an embarrassing advert for the Premier League and a great advert for the NFL with their logo all over the centre of the pitch.
Why didn't the PL swap the venues around and play this at the Etihad.
Loads of empty sections in the upper tier so that makes the attendance a 90,000 sell out.

The Who have finished playing and the third quarter is underway.

 

[Mr Banana]

Wonder if there's something up with Lloris

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Just watching it - it is pretty bad

He's on the specials team. He'll come on when there is a penalty.

Embarrassing

This, I genuinely thought it was within a couple of yards of being a proper footy pitch. Must be losing close to 10 yards in width! ... Mind you, the yardage lines certainly help with offsides.

Probably because Tottenham promised them that the game would be played at White Hart Lane and not Wembley.
