Our record against Chavs is fucking horrendous.

Have we even managed to beat them yet at the new ground?

The trouble is, not only are they far better than us in virtually every single position but also have some kind of fucking curse on us as well, Look at the goals, tonight the ball hits Rudigers back and flies in off the underside of the bar, in the first leg two deflected own goals.

We got into every season -3 pts for our annual shit show at Stamford Bridge. May as well just stick it down as a 2-0 defeat and rest the players.
 
No. Pre vaccine it never happened. Covid started nearly 2 years ago. This collapsing is a very recent thing and it needs to be looked into
A) The guy could have fallen over.
B) If other, this would've happened before, but now we seem to be stopping games for it
C) Agree, with the increased media coverage of these incidents someone should look into this (an official, not your Pilates instructor) to see if there is a statistical increase... I'm sure the FA will have/can get data.
D) we have only have consistently high levels of community transmission in the UK since the world cup only. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases
E) instances of adverse vaccine reactions are tracked by the MRHA using the yellow card scheme and this data is constantly poured over by academics and ppl in the industry... we are advised of anything statistically out of the norm.
F) Going to football match is no more stressful than many day to day activities e.g. gym, sex, sport, clubbing etc. ppl would be dropping all over the place if your supposition was correct. This would be very noticeable in the ONS figures.
 
Conte persisting w/ these negative tactics when down 0-2 going into today's leg is absolutely diabolical. This formation w/ 2 useless wingbacks in Royal and Doherty is Jose level-managing.
 
Over the 2 legs we were so poor that excluding maybe Norwich, I think any other Premier League side would have given them more of a game.

Seemed happy to lose tonight. Really deflating.
 
In every way shape and form, Tottenham are underdogs in these competitions. Every semi, every final, Spurs are not the favorites. And looking out across the pitch it's easy to see the difference in talent. So what can the team, a manager, a player control? They have control of their mentality.

Giving up at 60min reinforces the crap mentality we have seen from this club and these players over the years. It's my biggest gripe with Levy. Levy lacks the ability of creating a winning culture at Spurs, and I believe it seeps into the cracks of everything at the club.

The game hasn't gone our way. By every known statistic it wasn't supposed to. But you can't give up
Most situations I'd agree. But when we have 5 starters out and have a string of important games coming up, we would have been much better off not having our players being played to the ground.
 
Ain't that the hard truth. :(

As wasteful as Werner & Lukaku are, they'd have probably left a few cracks for us to exploit if they were having to force the issue.
Absolutely. If we don’t gift them those 3. Then we’re well in the game


Looking at that keeper again …. He bottled it

Another string to add to his bow …. Chicken shit
 
Think back to the 2 nil win with a dele brace and even the semi final that year where we more than matched them for 70 mins

And then look at the state of us right now

The deterioration of the squad in just a few short years is nothing short of tragic , scandalous , embarrassing …. Take your pick
