i think it is unlikely......but being away from home might suit spurs.
Some teams are better playing teams that they should not beat. LFC used to be like that under Evans and Houllier.......and even Rafa in some seasons as well. We'd go and beat United or Arsenal and then **** it up against Bolton or Portsmouth.
Spurs might be like that. Their natural game might be actually to play for a nil all and get something on the counter attack. United under Ole Sols-joker were the same.
City have won a lot of their points in a lucky fashion in my view. They were lucky v Wolves and Arsenal over the last few months. Where they will feel pressure is around the champions league. It is a pity that they didn't get a trickier tie in the CL but the CL is their holy grail and if we can keep within touching distance when those games kick off again, then there could be pressure on them.
I actually think if we were to meet them in the next round of the CL - and maybe even the FA Cup as well - then it might put their whole team on a load of pressure. Who knows, they might win all of them against us and we'd be sick - but I would fancy us against them. Especially in the CL. It kind of would be epic - we'd end up playing them around 4 times in the space of a few weeks.
