Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Manchester City: Lineups And Live Match Thread

Good morning/early afternoon, depending on where you reside, Spursland. We're just about 20 minutes away from kickoff in the English Premier League matchup between Tottehnam Hotspur and Manchester City at White Hart Lane. Spurs are definitely not favorites in this one, despite playing at home. The good news for Tottenham fans is that Luka Modric has returned to the lineup. There is some bad news, though. This is your live match thread, and here are your lineups.
Tottenham Hotspur lineup (4-4-1-1): Friedel; Corluka, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Kranjcar, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart; Crouch
Substitutes from: Cudicini, Bassong, Walker, Huddlestone, Livermore, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko
Manchester City lineup (4-4-2): Hart; Zabaleta, Clichy, Kompany, Lescott; Barry, Yaya, Silva, Nasri; Aguero, Dzeko
Substitutes from: Pantilimon, Richards, Savic, Milner, A. Johnson, Tevez and Balotelli
As proof that you really can't trust a word that anyone at our club says, Peter Crouch was listed not as a doubt, but out for this game. He starts up top. Niko Kranjcar starts next to Luka Modric in midfield, giving us the least defensively sound midfield in the history of the Premiership. City give Samir Nasri a start in his first match, and they can bring Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli off their bench. That shit cray.
The game kicks off at 8:30 am ET, 1:30 pm BST. You can see it on Fox Soccer Channel in the USA, ESPN in the UK, and Setanta Sports in Canada.

This means that Crouch did NOT, in fact, sign with Stoke last night.

I don't know what it is exactly though
I really don’t think he’s being marked any different, but I think the man marking BAE is deliberately playing him so as to force BAE to cross to Kaboul or Lennon, because Lennon is not nearly as dangerous.

Then I'll have reason to worry
I prematurely shot my wad, if you will, on what was supposed to be a dry run, and now it looks like I have something of a mess on my hands.

So we had the spirit of Ramos possess the body of Redknapp so you can lose while you lose

That's his last appearance for Spurs
Not kidding. Not winding you up. No chance at top four, I’d demand to leave too. And he was easily our best player out there today. By a fucking mile. He deserves better than this shit team.

solid
he had no chance on that second goal. cross across the face of goal, he perhaps did come over a bit too far, but dzeko had a wide open net

Is this the part in the movie
Where everyone is upset that they let down their friend so much (Modric) and so his friends stop fucking around (Bale, Defoe, VDV, Crouch) and take shit seriously and win back his confidence and friendship?
I’D LIKE TO WATCH THAT MOVIE!
Defoe is busting his ass...

Arsenal already 3-0 down in the first half.
This makes me feel much better about our performance last week. Even though it shouldn’t, because Arsenal is completely terrible.
