Yeah banjo, it did feel like a mugging to me too! Hate losing 3 points in last minute. To be fair in first half I don’t think spurs could press chelsea at all and were forced into a low block, but keeping it to 1 at half time was massive, and honestly as much possesion we had we didn’t cause you too much trouble or have many decent chances to extend the lead.
Second half was very good, the system change helped you a lot and I thought both teams were very good for last 40 mins of the game.
Oh and “The-Team-That-Cant-Be-Named”…? What about “The football club formerly known as Chelski””?
Anyway, see you around bud, will defo be on to say hello when spurs miraculously qualify for europa league via champions league group stage 😉
Looks as though it’s 2 of Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs for top 4 this year, gonna be very tough, but the positive for you, stevo and myself is that we know for sure that if our team finishes top 4 then one of the other 2 London teams will miss out!
Maybe in a year our two we can set our sights on top two but for now, it’s a triple threat match between the blues, the reds and the lily whites of london! (A no DQ triple threat going by yesterday’s game 😆)
It was a tough one to take but can only give credit to spurs for managing to salvage a draw, conte wasn’t the referee after all 😂

15th August 2022 at 9:29 am #197689I’ve said before lucky that Chelsea be right up there. They have a brilliant squad and the issue is just a bit of inconsistency
Spurs were blessed yday. Conte made a mistake from the off for me. Starting nearly sane team that Chelsea blew away in the carling cup. He needs to start sone of his new signings.
Great game but Chelsea should feel rightly aggrieved.

15th August 2022 at 9:43 am #197691Not sure these manager red cards really make a difference unless it’s a full stadium ban?
They can still manage from the stands so it’s moot really
I think both teams should be docked 50 points that seems fairer 😁😁😁

15th August 2022 at 10:27 am #197692+1 for that idea Steve!
In all seriousness, I loved all that between Tuchel and Conte. Rivalries have become all too nice recently. The high-fiving and love-in between Klopp and Pep in recent years is rather boring, even if the football isn’t.

15th August 2022 at 11:20 am #197694Ye Ed, absolutely loved everything about the game yday. Great atmosphere, loads of drama and a good aul melee at the end. Brilliant stuff
Some atmosphere at forest aswell
Alright Stevo down in Kerry at minute. Your mams neck of the woods isnt it?
Great straight for Arsenal but I still have reservations about then mate. Really not sure about areta and the keeper and bsck 4. Very strong everywhere else and Partey is a top player but just needs to find that consistency
What are your expectations for the season and also how do you think it will end up mate

15th August 2022 at 11:34 am #197695Gabriel Jesus is better than I thought he was. I didn’t really rate him at City but he looks a different player at Arsenal, I must say.

15th August 2022 at 11:59 am #197696Sean, our first 11 is quality except for lacking real goalscorers. Kante is massive for us, we look like a top team with him, but 3 seasons in a row now and he has played barely half the games, and many of the games he does he is catching up. Went off again yesterday. Sadly it looks as though he is breaking down physically due to the intensity at which he has played his whole career.
We do not have a brilliant squad imo, just a really big one. Very few of our starting players would start for City or pool, you may say kante would but that’s only when he is fit and like I said he hasn’t been a regular starter for 3 seasons now.
We have everything we need to put up a good fight for top 4 but last season made it clear that we didn’t have the quality week in week out to challenge top 2. You called it inconsistency, and that is correct, but the cause of the inconsistency was the players available each week. When we had 8 or 9 of our best outfield players on the pitch we were generally good, when we didn’t we were generally bad.
Hopefully by end of the window we have more balance and our squad can prove to be as good as you think they are 👍

15th August 2022 at 12:24 pm #197697Sean she’s from Galway but up past Dublin …
We are much better but still 3 light for me
Need a serious DM RB and Lb cover at least
Won’t win the league but should improve
Ramsdale can be a bit to hit and miss also but I do like him
Slowly warming to Arteta but need further convincing

15th August 2022 at 12:25 pm #197698Ed he is pure class but I also think he looks better as has less quality around him now so stands out more also has a much better work ethic and drive thanks to pep so hopefully he can lift the team to match

15th August 2022 at 3:36 pm #197700“Dermot Gallagher says VAR should have advised Anthony Taylor to take a look at the Marc Cucurella hair pulling incident as it was a red card offence by Cristian Romero.
Tottenham went onto score from the resulting corner from the incident.”

Deary me, is it even possible to not offend those that wake up looking for a reason to take offence?
Good on Graeme for standing his ground he was commentating on a mens game of football after all.

15th August 2022 at 6:45 pm #197702Completely agree Lucky, it’s pathetic that the media is trying to make something of this. It was clear as day the context Graeme was talking in. Have actually just been watching a bit of Souness on talksport with Simon Jordan – some really good debates, he’s been a great addition.

15th August 2022 at 7:32 pm #197704I am a great supporter of the Women’s game but they have taken the wrong move being “conned” by media questions on Sourness. It was a clear as could be that the remarks were on the MEN’S game
As the saying goes…Look before you leap….better still think before you comment to media_____________________________

15th August 2022 at 8:42 pm #197706Just something not quite right with us at the moment. We work hard, we dominate the ball, but our final ball and decision making in the box has been lacking for some time. Elliot been bright, but Salah just goes for glory too often when a better pass/opportunity is on. Even if we go on to win, there’s food for thought.

15th August 2022 at 9:00 pm #197709Can’t see Palace holding out for another 45 minutes, feels like a bit of an anti climax game after all that drama yesterday.
