Just look at Alli's movement for that goal...Love to see the chavs trudging back after the second goal, heads down. They knew at that point they were getting nothing from the game.
Tott'num Hawtspurz...
Twat?Chelsea to win 3-1. Spursy.
Sussed it, Its Jimmy Hill junior?He plays the 3-5-2 system when a team plays 2 strikers. He did the same thing last year, nothing new.
Chelsea don't play with 2 strikers, so he won't sacrifice the man in midfield for another defender.
We'll play 4-3-2-1, with Sissoko in midfield.
must have been hacked, that's not in the PL scriptThe infamous Premier League "supercomputer" is now predicting Spurs as League Champions...
Commentary is shocking. Souness saying "Hard to separate the teams tonight"
Fuck right off. What about the two fucking goals we scored you cretin? Or the clean sheet we kept? Or the three fucking points we take? Or Chelsea's record breaking run that doesn't exist because of us?
Absolutely ridiculous these pundits.
BT Sports flash up, football related words between programmes , yesterday they flashed up 'Come on you Spurs. This was before the PL review .Funny thing is that Sky actually seem to think that they're putting on a Spurs representative in Jamie Redknapp or Souness to counteract the ever present Woolwich and Chelsea types who live at Sky... I would much rather just have Neville there instead of those allegedly pro-Spurs pundits who, and especially in the case of Redknapp jr., have an obvious axe to grind with the club.
watched both goals again just now and trying to work out if they were just two good, improvised crosses or if the whole move was something we'd worked on.
Both times Eriksen plays the ball out to walker and just waits while 2 or 3 of their defenders press the ball. walker immediately gives it back (possibly) already knowing that there will now be space there for eriksen to take time to cross. Meanwhile, because of that press and kane's movement keeping him in the near post area and occupying luiz and cahill, a space to attack opens up at the far post for alli.
Chelsea have never lost the PL when on top at Xmas. Its happened four time now.The infamous Premier League "supercomputer" is now predicting Spurs as League Champions...
So you're saying their is a trend here, one that perhaps needs to be broken? By someone?Chelsea have never lost the PL when on top at Xmas. Its happened four time now.
Chelsea defiantly play zone football. Look when we get a throw, they create a box shape of players around the thrower (its not random) They play in - pre trained shapes-if you know what I mean. Shift the ball quick and away from these areas, they have to move and regroup very quickly. What you are saying is probably true and we seem have exploited it.watched both goals again just now and trying to work out if they were just two good, improvised crosses or if the whole move was something we'd worked on.

Didn't they flash up "Spursy" after the Monaco games? They can fuck right off...BT Sports flash up, football related words between programmes , yesterday they flashed up 'Come on you Spurs. This was before the PL review .
We mustn't forget Chelsea are a decent side and will not lose too many. We need to keep going and not worry about them, computers or TV pundits. Soon we play in the EL KOs and Chelsea and Liverpool rest at home. This will be the telling spell for us.So you're saying their is a trend here, one that perhaps needs to be broken? By someone?

Thanks, blow any optimism I had about something positive, into touch.Didn't they flash up "Spursy" after the Monaco games? They can fuck right off...
Yeah but BT have Hoddle, Harry and JJ so it's all good.Thanks, blow any optimism I had about something positive, into touch.
I actually think our season went down the pan after we we forfeited the Dortmund tie.....the flow was disrupted and having that whole week in between did us no favours at all.
I think the lads will cope.....they seem to be reaching peak fitness now, halfway in. Kane looking sharper than he has for a good while, and Eriksen all over the place.
I think we finish well and win a cup. If Chelsea need to be out of the Europe to mount a title challenge, then its money not well spent on their part.
