Chelsea Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[CosmicHotspur]

MoPo needs to calm them down for the second half. Must not rise to the bait boys.

Most annoying thing about Dembele is that it gives Sky a perfect excuse to completely ignore Terry's elbow and Costa's headbutt.

Tyler instantly dismissed it by saying that it's OK because "it wasn't the point of the elbow."

 

[Gbspurs]

Fair if he does get a ban but I presume Costa will too for his head push and genuinely being aggressive?

Same with Huth right?

I'm all for consistency

Doesn't matter if Costa gets a ban though.

Half time was needed. They are going to try get are players sent off because they can not deal with us.
3/4 of our defence on a yellow isn't great.

I think you are being a bit harsh on us. Doesnt it just show how much this means to us. Yes we need cool heads but fuck it i also want players who want to win and stick up for their mates. Rose, Walker, Dembele, Super Jan....i salute you...fucking have 'em

I don't mind a rough tackle. Eye scratch is like biting someone

 

[Hawk_Spur]

I think Dembele might get more than 3.

Eye gouging is a despicable act and he deserves everything he gets.

We are losing our cool but playing some scintillating football. I love the passion but it's a fine line and we have crossed it a couple of times.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Very disappointed in Dembele. Going for the eyes has no place in any game. Definitely a 3 match ban for that and fully deserved. No defending that.

 

[samspurs92]

I love this passion from the boys but fuck, we need to keep our heads!

We're 2-0 up for fucks sake.

 

[UpTownSpur]

It'll be a miracle if we finish with 11. If we give him any opportunity, Clattenburg will send one of ours off. He's been an absolute disgrace.

 

[millsey]

Worth taking full backs off?

 

[mpickard2087]

Dembele deserves a lengthy ban for that I'm afraid. If you did that in rugby you would be getting banned for months and months.

We saw a scrappy first half hour, the game has burst into life with two goals that epitomise our play this season. A bit of neat football for the first, then a lethal high press for the second.

We need composure now though. From the start Chelsea players have been trying to get our lot caught up in a bit of niggle, or hitting them with late challenges, and we're falling for it. They need to keep their heads. Particularly the fullbacks and Vertonghen and Dembele. Focus, and beat them at football.

Chelsea diving all over the place, we have 3 out of our back 4 booked and Dembele will get a ban for that. Oh well, 2-0 up at half time, what could possibly go wrong? I think my head is going to blow up with the blood pressure! COYS!!!!!!!!

 

[ilikeost]

3 or 4? How'd you work that one out?

Both Rose and Walker have had more than two yellow worthy incidents, Dembélé for the eye poke and Vertonghen are very on the line as well.

 

[oskathegobshite]

Poch I thought did the right thing because if he doesn't jump in there I think Rose lamps Willian

 

[nightgoat]

Did Suarez get done for the eye gouge on Parker? I did not think he did.

No. Completely ignored.

 

[TGE]

Was Will.I.am really pointing to his PL gold badge? Fucking ****s riding on that wave after their Shite season.

 

[Hazardousman]

leicester won't get shit, they all bumming them, waiting till after we drew with west brom to decide to give vardy extra game ban, why did that take a week but they can ban Alli for 3 games in the space of a day.

Don't say things like that. People will accuse you of being a conspiracy theorist lol.

 

[Lifeson]

Fuck, Dembele, what a buzzkill. So dissapointed in him.

 

[Mr Pink]

Need to find the balance between playing with a bit of aggression and keeping our heads. We could really go to town on them, but make no mistake the aggression is part of the reason why we've done well here - its a change of mentality, but we must keep our heads.

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

Fuck em Chelsea scum, i know its not great scenes but there is certainly no more "lads, its Tottenham" with this side.
