Hmmm thought you watched a lot of football.
The better team doesn't always win, regardless of the scoreline or shots on target.
It's a game of small margins, which is why we all watch - any team can beat anyone on their day.
We deserved to win that game - Chelsea fans keep on saying it to me as well.
I didn't say the better team doesn't always win. Hence why we didn't win the league last year and why we aren't in the final of an FA Cup and top of the Premier League.
But Im having a hard time understanding how we DESERVED to win? We didn't trouble Courtois besides the two goals and Kane's free kick at the end. They had 5 shots and scored 4. That's not luck. That's just being clinical, throw in a few Spurs errors in there too.
No they can't
They've been unbearable since 1970 when they kicked their way to win it against Leeds
Not that Leeds were angels but I remember 'Choppers ' tackle on Eddie Gray for which he shd have got 5 years!
Fucking hated that shitstain of a club since
Much more than the Scum or Dippers
I never understand this - every failure is the players, leaving because of not winning trophies is quitting.
Either they get there or they don't. All the conditions are set for them to succeed, it's down to them to win not leave.
Surely?
Friend of mine was staying In the same hotel as him last summer........ and he manages to get a cheeky snap!
Fuck off
That bent cunt allowed them to disrupt the games flow by a stream of niggling fouls which suited them by allowing them to get 10 behind the ball!
As I said yesterday Atkinson was the main reason we lost
Clear pen on Dele waved away
Cunt!
Because they scored 4 goals that on another day wouldn't have happened.
Alli's goal was the only clinical play of the day.
You call scoring 4/5 chances clinical.....even Chelsea fans call it lucky.
Is he constantly pissed???
You realise we do the same, right? Eriksen and Alli are usually the masters of the niggling fouls. It's just you don't tend to realise because we don't tend to resort to 10 men behind the ball that often. We done it a lot against Liverpool to disrupt their attack.
I think blaming the referee is just asking for excuses. He was poor for both sides.
If the game was the other way round, we won 4-2. Dele dived for a penalty, Dembele hit a thunderbolt and they left Kane unmarked from a corner. What would your stance on the game be? Would you say we deserved to win? Just interested.
For me, if you win possession, only score 2 goals but a catalogue of errors sees you concede 4 goals, you don't deserve nothing. How can conceding 4 goals mean we DESERVE to go through here? We were the better team, everyone watching could see. But unfortunately, being better doesn't neccessarily win you things all the time.
And if my aunt had bollocks, she'd be my uncle.
I think the Wanyama miss in the first half went unnoticed. Absolute sitter that could have changed the match.
But I think the main problem is we really had no to bring on from the bench to flare things up. Hardworking creatives players like Lamela or Winks could have kept the Chelsea defence in line. Our best XI (even considering injuries) is pretty good but we have to have more class on the bench to see hard fixtures like this through.

It's plausible based on what he posts on here
Yesterday was one of the bravest performances of any Tottenham Hotspur side ever fielded. To play 24hrs after the death of what is effectively a family member i can't salute enough what I saw on the pitch yesterday.
I'm hearing that Poch was the 2nd person on the scene to attend to Ugo. Ugo was taking a session on the pitch as was Poch on a neighbouring pitch. Ugo actually stopped his session by calling out to the players as he went into cardiac arrest. This was fucking whitenessed by all! Made even worse by the sense of hopelessness as your personal efforts to save your mates life were all in vein.
I am truly amazed at how they played yesterday considering what had happened 24hrs earlier. Anyone doubting or questioning this side, this manager, this club go fuck yourselves. Let me know when a member of your family dies, one that you failed to save the life of whilst you were thumping their chest giving them CPR and I'll turn up 24hrs latter with a bag of popcorn to watch how you are getting on.
Proof of our incredible mentality is that everyone is talking about the details of the game as if what happened to Ugo didn't happen, as if it was just a normal day.
I feel a mix of emotions today but the most overwhelming one is pride. Pride in the mentality of this team and those behind the scenes that enable it. Whilst many are coming to terms with conceding 4 goals from 5 shots, there are two children this morning coming to terms with why they haven't got a Dad.

, I was just wondering, do you still sleep in your mum's bed ?
Read some Chelski comments that we need to learn how to be 2nd best and still win. I get what they're trying to say, but really? :dembelewtf:
Spot on mate, great post! :dierpochhug:
Not sure it would have been possible to be 2nd best to them yesterday.....at least one team has to have the ball
