    Balotelli and Lescott should have been sent off and then a dodgy pen at the end. If you win the league its only because of the 300 million you spent in the last few years.

    Spurs fan here - it was a definite penalty - dire tackle from King of all people.

    Cant agree about the penalty being dodgy, stone waller in my view. However Lescott and Balotelli should of been in the showers, and they say cheats never win, well they do if they wear the blue of Man City and the ref is a certain Howard Webb. If this mans our top ref then we're doomed. Taxi outside for Lescott and Balotelli.
    Destination FA Headquarters, and rightly so.

    He has cost us one game so far, he had a good game last week and he it was a big game for him today, considering the attacking force he was up against he played his part.

    He was solid in the first half (I was watching it thinking 'WTF he's supposed to be rubbish!') - he got worse in the second half though.

    The Lescott elbow - I think Webb's view was obstructed but Balotelli should definitely have been off.

    Not a fan of either team but if that wasn't a penalty f*ck knows what is. Stonewall, end of.

    Btw, don't think Balotelli's "stamp" was the big deal it's being played up to be either.

    Great football.

    I see you are retired at your age i thought you would have more sense than to post drivel like this, players cheat all the time we see elbows in most matches and you are making out we are the only ones that get away with it, what a ****ing joke you are.

    Not a fan of either, but both of your opinions go against spurs. Would you like another try?

    penalty.........YES
    Lescott deliberate elbow to the head........YES
    Balotelli deliberate kick to the head ..YES.

    I don't care who wins the Prem title but Man City don't deserve to and they should have been down to 9 men well before the end.

    I missed the Lescott elbow altogether, when was it? Balotelli wasn't even looking at Parker so you can't say for sure it was deliberate. And the ref was right there to see it so doesn't that mean he gets away without a ban or am I wrong there?

    Webb will get a call from fergie to tell him he did not see the balotelli incident and he should be banned - they will try and ban him but he can use the alan shearer defence - then if they still punish him city can accuse the fa of racism

    Why don't we deserve to win it, we lost Kompany for a tackle the pundits said wasn't a straight red, the week after a two footed tackle that was a straight red didn't get the card it deserved, **** happens.

    Also didn't see the Lescott elbow. Balotelli may not have been looking directly at him, but he damn sure knew he was there! Or do you think he was trying to kick the pitch? Either way, it was reckless and arguably with excessive force - you can't just kick out with that much force when there are people around you even if you don't mean to catch them in the head.

    Would be pretty hard for Webb to say he didn't see it given he was right next to it. But I think the FA let refs see the replay before they finish their report, so he might not have seen that kick if he had a bad angle. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Either way, it's happened, it happens to every team at some point or another, and the team with the most points at the end of the season will deserve to win the title whoever it is. Just like every other season <ok>
