I expect to be laughed at cos other fans hate us, but I also expect some grudging respect fir the way we played them off the park. I'm reading Shearer's review of Chelsea's win and he claims they were "content to soak up Spurs attacks". Like hell they were. We bossed the game after the initial shock of going a goal down. They scored from 3 set pieces and the 4th was when we were chasing the game. They were resolute in defence but they had to be. Surely neutral fans could see that.
They won't because they hate us.
I made the observation to my brother that they didn't actually counter attack us at all, they simply cleared the ball upfield in the hopes that someone would get on the end of it, there was nothing "constructive" in their transition.
