Deffo.
Chavs will have no shame bus parking against anyone home or away.
Remind me never to go drinking with you Ash. :adebaehug:
Really not concerned by this game. Lets not lick their arses... Chelsea are shite.
This is easy for us. Bread and butter.

You have got to be the most optimistic spurs fan in existence. Probably the only optimistic one actually. Legend!
To be fair, we did draw with them last year....
....Before getting completely destroyed.
No Ash. There are at least two of us. Unusual for reckless optimism to spring from people born in the Broad Acres I know.
Yes, but last year they were just a "small horse"...
Yeah, they're a fucking stallion now:vdvdive:
Against Chelsea you need to be at your best. I don't go for defensive/attacking teams . The game will develope as they play, we need to set ourselves as best as possible to go with it. They are stronger and will create more chances so by default we will defend more. The same players would cope with changes as the game goes on.
Being optimistic, we played 1-1 at the emirates and we could have just as easily finished 2-2 against city. We were unlucky in that defeat and miles away from the performance we saw yesterday. We have a chance to come away from this with a point or three. The ball is round.
Spot on.
I understand that people will want to play the same XI off the back of a good win, But as the stats show, some players covered near 13km. That's quite a distance to cover in a match and then to do it again 3 days later!!
I would like to see some rotation here as Chelsea have such a strong squad too, I think we will see some changes for them too.

Mark Lawrenson's Prediction for Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham have not won at Stamford Bridge in 27 attempts since February 1990, and I cannot see them changing that dreadful record after watching them against Everton on Sunday.
Yes, Spurs won the game but they look like a collection of individuals and every department of the team looks disjointed.
Chelsea will be frustrated after Sunderland stopped them playing in their 0-0 draw on Saturday evening.
But I do not see Tottenham as being capable of doing the same thing - and I expect their goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to be a very busy man on Wednesday night.

Very true.
Against City we should have been 1-0 at HT. Lampard offside for Aguero first goal, and the pen was never a pen. If we weren't chasing the game could have gone down very differently. Ref well and truly fucked that game up.
Sorry mate - it's going to take a while to adjust to the new name. I know that was a sensible comment.
Oh god - even the alert made me howl - KickHerInTheSponge rated your post funny. No, No, the other way round. :lennonlol:
Let's hope to see something positive at least out of this game.
Caught in two minds in regards to how we should go bout this. We are no where near favourites, I don't think ANYONE expects us to win. So do we play like we did against Woolwich, sit back and defend like beavers and look to beat them on the break with the pace of Lennon? - or do we just think, fuck it, work rate, press and go 4-4-2 on their ass like we did against Everton?
