Tottenham V Chelsea 12:00 Sunday 29th November

[Super Jan Fan]

My first match thread was a win. My second a draw and my third a loss. This being my fourth ought to be another win.

Edit: Just checked, and my previous match thread win was the game against Chelsea where Torres got sent off for scratching Jan a couple of years ago. :vert:

Our third London derby in a row, Chelsea must be worried. Is there a team in the league they would rather NOT play, than us? Leicester perhaps. I'm sure they'd prefer anyone else.

Scratchy 2-1 Win.

Wouldn't write Renters off, they have enough quality to punish us.

They do, but it depends how the game pans out. If we score first their heads will drop and they won't recover. If they score first, it probably won't be enough to win the match. Their goal yesterday showed that they have ability, smart thinking to take the free kick quick, a quality finish. But they didn't look very good in my opinion, and against weak opposition. They know if they lose to us like West Ham lost to us today then they are finished. All we need is to play like we did today and the game against Woolwich, which I expect us to at home against Chelsea and I can see us winning it comfortably. That isn't to say we should expect to win, we have to turn up and take them seriously. Poch and the team will do that.

All they have to do is pump it long to Diego Costa. We'll struggle that way.

Remember last season's win at the lane? minus the chelsea goals

I want this result to get Mourinho sacked.

 

[Legacy Lilywhite]

Pivotal match for both teams' seasons: if we win, top 4 as a minimum is a completely realistic goal; if they win, salvation is just about possible (on the pitch only - they're still racist c*nts).

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

So looks like we don't get back till very early hrs of Friday morning for this....fuck.

It's a difficult one. I hope Poch gets it right, whatever right is. Chelsea have an important midweek game of course, so at least they have a problem too, albeit less demanding than ours.

They are all mercenaries only playing for the pound : Our guys are for each-other and the shirt, there's a big difference there!

 

[YidoBuckler]

Easy team selection, Lamela in for Alli. Massive game, if we can win this then top 4 and higher becomes a really strong possibility.

 

[Bazali]

Rest a few against Quarabaag then smash the renters!

2-0 Spurs with possibly Fazio up against Costa?

 

[jimmyriggle]

If he plays fazio in this that's a sackable offence!

This will be a nervy game to watch for sure. I'd love a win but think it'll be a 1-1 or 2-2 draw.

 

[Freudlyuchenko]

Would you guys take a draw if offered right now?

 

[paddy spur]

Would you guys take a draw if offered right now?

Frankly no

Only reason I'm suggesting that is that they have history in la liga and Costa doesn't like playing against him!
