Tottenham vs Chelsea tomorrow

RIP us

That feel when it'll be the first league game I'll have missed this season.

???? TSN puts it on #4(TSN Toronto) and shaw doesn't give me that so can't record it

And I have class during the game. Either way, no Costa but I still think Chelsea takes it 2-0 (Remy, Hazard)

Harry Kane is great though

Ended up watching during lunch, and during english class. Saw 75 minutes.

Harry Kane > Ronaldo

Kane > Defoe, Van der Vaart, Bale, Modric. He was unreal today

I seriously think the spurs should target Mkhitaryan if they're actually selling him..

Kane or Soldado at ST

Eriksen - Mkhitaryan - Lamela

Paulinho - whoever

Also, if the Eriksen to PSG rumors are true, asking for Cabaye as collateral isn't a bad idea, obviously + at least 20m

Really happy with how City played yesterday. Boyata was good. Nice goals from Zabaleta and Jovetic. Aguero again just fantastic. :)

IMO Aguero should have made the Balon D'Or cut over Neuer.

It might be the Argentine in me talking but Neuer barely has to make saves half the night and Kun drives the City attack.

Kun did nothing in the World Cup, only did anything for a few games this CL, and basically has been a top player in PL.

Neuer not only was in the CL finals, but won the World Cup (one which Aguero was handed a winning goal on and flubbed it) and is looking like a 2x Bundesliga champ for both seasons this year. His value extends far beyond making saves too.

Unfortunately we're talking about awards that have mostly a scoring bias, and Neuer doesn't score goals. It takes quite a bit of recognition for him to be there, and he deserves it. Although, I'd pick Messi ahead of Ronaldo.

^I'm a huge Messi fan but Ronaldo has been otherworldy this Liga season.

Won the UCL too there's no way he doesn't get the Balon D'or.

Neuer is a great keeper yes but plays on the 2nd best team in the world behind the best defence.

When was that?

I think that his injuries last season and at the world cup held him back.

If Aguero can stay healthy and keep up his goal scoring pace this year I think he has a shot at the final cut, but I doubt he would win because of politics.

Sergio is very important to the City attack, not only with goals but lately with really nice set ups. I think he's getting better and better all the time.
