Honestly you’ve got to admire the planning involved by Man Utd and Spurs to try and deflect any suspicious of throwing their games. Spurs started playing like crap 5 games ago to cover up their plan. The real credit goes to Man Utd though, to play like garbage for a whole season just to avoid suspicion of throwing the Arsenal game to hurt City is next level stuff, kudos Man Utd, kudos.
Man Utd play like garbage because their players are not very good. Last season they over performed as Casemiro and Ericken had their last Indian Summer. This season they have bought very bad. Mount is finished, the keeper is not an improvement on what they had, Amrabat is not fast enough for the Prem and the less said about Hojlund the better.
I swear if Tottenham would have won He Would have made a Video callled" 6 Times a teams Victory helped there rivals ". Would'nt be surprised if He had that already made that just in case
So Manchester City lost some of their early season games on purpose just so they could have a nail biting end to their season … yeah I’m glad that Pep has the foresight to plan ahead 😊
My concern with the Spurs player is that even in their misses it looked like they were not trying to win the match even though a champions league position was on the line. Spurs will always remain a small club.
Gerrard purposely passed the ball back to Reina before Drogba scored vs Chelsea 2009/10 season so that Man United wouldn’t do the four peat, should be there..
Spur intentionally lost 5 game before intentionally lose to Man city and Son intentionally shot directly at Ortega cause he going to Man city next season...... And it was all planned by FIFA 😂
Honorable Mentions: 1.Thailand vs Indonesia in 1998 Tiger Cup (now AFF/ASEAN Championship): Indonesian player scored an own goal to seal a victory for Thailand in a deliberate way, as the winner of this match must face Vietnam, the host of that tournament. Both countries were punished by FIFA as a result of match-fixing allegiation. 2.Peru vs Colombia in 2018 World Cup qualifiers: Both teams decided to play a boring draw on the final day of the World Cup qualifiers that would have denied Chile's spot, though this proved meaningless, as Chile also failed to beat Brazil at the same time. 3.Borussia Moenchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund in 1977-78 Bundesliga: Gladbach scored 12 goals during that game, knowing that the result would have sealed a Bundesliga title, but in the end, the title went to 1.FC Koln on goal differences thanks to 5-0 victory over St.Pauli. The Dortmund manager at that time was the same guy that led Greece to the historic Euro 2004 win, Otto Rehhagel.
We seem to have forgotten the Phil Foden assist for the 1st goal. "Me" right now, at present, at this age, a grandad, would never have allowed Foden to pass that ball which resulted in the first goal; plus Spurs fans in a standing ovation, happily cheering as their team is being thrashed at home turf, to the detriment of losing a Champions League slot?.....uh? Er? Huh? Ha? Hmmm
Definitely.Man City's Akanji also lost the ball on purpose so as Son could have a clear chance on goal and ensure the keeper would save his shot. Not complicated, is it?
You left off Lazio vs Inter in 2010. Lazio never went past midfield and scored an own goal as their fans cheered it on because it was the final matchday and intentionally losing to Inter meant they won the title over their rivals Roma.
I'm Arsenal fan and I'm 100% sure that Son DID NOT miss on purpose! He just missed - it happens. So silly that people thought a possible Tottenham goal would've given Tottenham wings to beat Man City lol. Man City have champion's spirit, that's something we are lacking. Also they have the amazing ability to get the job done when its most important! Something we also lack.
.....I believe it was also Son's best match of the season, his best performance. He deserves "Man of the Match" plus the "Ballon D'or" ..or whatever you wanna call it
In 1998 South East Asian Cup group stage game, Vietnam and Indonesia deliberately loses their game because the loser would face Singapore, a much weaker team. Plot Twist - Singapore won the cup competition.
Why would they lose on purpose? Is it really matter for them to prevent Arsenal winning the league rather than securing UCL spot for themselves? Don't think so, Spurs also played good game last night.
It was Ortega who saved that and not Ederson . Plus, Tottenham defense didn't do that on purpose because they have been passive this season like last season in terms of conceding goals . Romero isn't that good defender and if they wanted themselves to lose why did Dragusin save that City chance off the line in the first half and why did Vicario smother that close range shot from Foden? . Your opinion that Spurs let themselves lose is not correct. City are powerful and they don't need any gifts. They're just smashing their opponents and they deserve to win. Stop trying to overthink about matters.
In bulgaria last season my favourite team cska sofia finished second but in gameweek 31(if i m not mistakin) Levski played against ludogorets(Cska and Levski is the biggest derby in bulgaria) Levski were leading 2-1 but then levski sent off their best players and gave some ypungsters their debuts on purpose so they can lose the mach and the mach ended Levsk 2-3 Ludogorets and Ludogorets were champions by 1 point
Stephen Gerrard has legal grounds for suing You tube - or this contributor `Goal 90` for Slander. You cannot make statements like that without clear evidence. I hope that Gerrard does take legal action.
No matter WHAT u fans think; as a pro' footballer, u should NEVER deliberately want t lose/throw a game Where's u credibility or loyalty the badge u represent etc? That's not why you came into the sport 4; don't replace the beautiful game with the ugly game
What a load of bollox. I mean it’s not as if KDB has ever provided an assist for Haarland is it? Nor is it the first time that KDB has got to the goal line and put in a similar pass. As for Ederson, as others have pointed out, it was Ortega in goal and he had already made a couple of decent saves.
The spurs goalkeeper could of saved the kDB ball across to Haaland had he stretched for it he held back. Look at the goal and tell me he couldn't of reached the kDB ball to Haaland.
People - it's tragic even to speculate on this nonsense - get some actual solid evidence of match-fixing rather than dumping fuel on the fire of utterly mindless gossip.
Conspiracy theories will always abound in fertile minds. But to suggest Spurs plotted this from 5 games out is like saying we can fly to the sun at night when it isn't hot. Come on you mob - a touch of reality please (or was this video meant to be a spoof?)
City's 115 will be the biggest football scandal in history. The club and most of its achievements wiĺl erased from the premier league if they are convicted
Aston Villa were always going to get 4th place. Like Man city are going to win the title today. Any one who thinks Arsenal are going to win it. Are totally deluded
