Manchester City are in the Champions League after Peter Crouch's own goal saw them beat Tottenham 1-0

These were the funniest Tweets on the game from our @MirrorFootball feed :

Harry Redknapp's post-match comments caused confusion...

@MirrorFootball: So who are these Man City signings who will blow our brains out? The Navy Seals?

And so did a pre-match Tweet from a City hater...

@MirrorFootball: Gary Neville has chosen Ian Brown to sing live at his testimonial. Gary Neville has clearly never heard Ian Brown sing live

Tottenham's team selection wasn't a surprise after their keeper's blunders... but the given reason was

@MirrorFootball: Gomes not playing for Spurs. He's 'injured' apparently #jimmyhill #chinnyreckon

Harry got WORLD'S GREATEST to send Gomes off to join General Zod in the Forbidden Zone #kneelbeforebale

@msalter2009: Gomes has a back injury. Apparently he had 35,000 Tottenham fans on it on Saturday

@cleverblok: Gomes has been bending down and picking the ball out of his net a lot lately, so a bad back sounds plausible

Cudicini took one for the team...

@MirrorFootball: Not-Gomes stops Dzeko drive with his nutsack. I've heard of saved by the bell, but saved by the balls?

@louimann1: @MirrorFootball Gomes would have taken all that pain, only for it to drop down and roll over the line. #DoublePunishment

@AnnieEaves: Spurs No.1 must be some keeper to keep Cudicini out

And Tottenham's Eastlands hero last year turned villain

@MirrorFootball: Peter Crouch has scored at the wrong end. Poor Abbey

@MirrorFootball: That goal was made by the old Coen Brothers classic... Milner's Crossing

Big Peter wasn't finished, with a laughable penalty appeal

@MirrorFootball: Crouchy goes down easily. Lucky Abbey

@kingkenny_7: Crouchy goes down easily. Lucky Abbey <<< Crouch by name...

@russ_cooper: Crouchy even scores in Europe. Unlucky Abbey

At half-time...

@MirrorFootball: 45 minutes until Gary Cook unveils his big folder titled PLANS TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD

City's wardrobe-sized midfielder was having a quiet game...

@MirrorFootball:It's quite hard to make yourself invisible when you're a 6-foot-4, 200-pound bloke but Yaya Toure has managed it

And with Spurs looking impotent up front, City went defensive to protect their lead

@Gregpeck77: City have got a new sponsor for next season to go with their formation, 118

As the game petered out...

@MirrorFootball: Great shot of Redknapp apparently asleep there. Reminiscent of opening credits of Bagpuss

@MirrorFootball: City fans doing the Poznan. I'd be turning my back on this too

...we made our own entertainment

@MirrorFootball: So bored I'm thinking of #footballwine. Pienaar Grigio, Bruce Rioja...

@Stoninho: Chateux Neuf du Papa-Bouba Diop?

@anjali_x: Danny Rosé!

@det66: Steed Malbec #footballwine

@kingkenny_7: Zinedine Zinfandel

@AnnieEaves: Keano Noir?

@pavpadam: @MirrorFootball city=Bored Dough

The final whistle blew, and City's suspended defender joined the celebrations...

@gurx_85: kolo toure looking slimmer....

The Blues had reached the promised land – and they had one man to thank

@MirrorFootball: Special mention tonight to Crouchy. Eliminating your current and former club from the Champions League is some trick
