Yes but they need to chase the game and we can try the counter attack thing that everyone does against us. They don't like Kane, Eriksen and co running at them. However we can't afford to back off of them and so need our central midfielders to snuff out their threat.

It will also be interesting to see how well we last the 90 minutes after three games in a week. Can Terry?

Anyone think if it was us it would have been a red card and a penalty in the Kane incident at half time? Last man, no?

I feel we should be 2 goals up against 10 men

I'm just enjoying it now, because now that we have a 2 goal lead I'm a lot more fucking scared. We need a 3 goal lead with 5 minutes to go :D

This would be a MASSIVE three points for us going into a really nice run of games and the January transfer window. This team can finish top 4, but we need a few reinforcements and Levy has to provide the cash to bring in 1-2 difference makers to help Poch fulfill this squad's potential.

I can't work out whether we've been really good, or Chelsea have been really shit.

Don't really care at the moment either.

Possibly, but I think the call is fair. There should be separation between attempting to play the ball and deliberately taking out a goalscoring opportunity. The penalty is fair punishment IMO for what to me looks like Cahill attempting to go for a ball and not expecting Kane to arrive to quickly.

Dembele is such a great player in cm and Chadli looks better and better on that left side. Eriksen a bit anon but Chadli is reaping the rewards and rose overlapping well at times

Don't agree about Eriksen I think he's having a great game and some of his touches and passes have been spot on. He and Kane are linking up well together/

Townsend has played pretty well in a side that have deservedly finished the half leading the league leaders by a 2 goal margin. But you wouldn't think it according to SC.
I think hes been underwhelming but huge praise for the courage and qualitt at the end

Oi oi!

And here was me about to punch the fucking telly screen at the constant repetition of us "being under the cosh" when bar five minutes after their offside goal out of the blue it's been ALL Spurs.

Get in.

Cue an inevitably nervy 45 minutes of backs against the wall…
Oi oi!
