His team one 3-0 away, using the same tactics he's always used. So no, Ted 'I'm a fucking cunt today' Cobra, I'm not retarded.
I thought Vaz Te's goal looked offside, but then my stream broke down before the replays. I'm guessing he was onside by the lack of anger at officials. Can anyone shed some light?
It's one thing loosing like this, it's done. Now, It's how we respond next game. Maybe it's the kicking we needed to remind us, we are fighting for every thing this year as of last and the year before and how easy it can all be taken away. Tiredness, complacency or poor judgement from AVB is no excuse. We need to bounce back with a boom!! lets really see what we are made of.
absolute shambles! No more to say!!!
I've been expressing doubts about his style of play for a year but keeping getting slapped down when we edged out games with 40-yard Bale strikes so stopped bothering in order to keep the peace
Listen everyone, Chelsea won the fucking Champions League playing like West Ham today beating the likes of Barca and Bayern whilst stumbling along in the league. Sometimes it happens. I've seen so many hilarious "such and such HAS TO START from now on" comments on here its unreal, just look all all the different opinions to tell you its not that simple.
Today West Ham gambled on being able to block us out and hit us with a set piece or a counter. If Defoe had scored one of his early chances they would never have got in the game (highly unlikely anyway) they didn't have any way of coming out of that ultra defensive anti-football at that point. We chased the game at 1-0 and got caught on the break, it happens.
For me, the lack of goalscoring chances is a bit of a worry and personally, I think Soldado will struggle for some time yet, I also think a lot of fans got carried away with our signings and results so far but we are only 3 points off the top, lets not act like its the end of the world just yet eh?

West Ham played well today, very little of the long ball nonsense. Allardyce outsmarted AVB simple as, he had his gameplan and it worked. We couldn't break them own then they broke and countered well. AVB had a shocker today, no denying that at all.
You guys know what the ironic but sad part of our poor performances is ....
It's that last season and many times before also, we were known as one of the best counter-attacking teams in the PL.
This season, nowadays, whenever we lose or seem to get pegged back ... it's almost always via the opponent's counter attacking. I mean, it's a pity that we now suck at defending something that once was our dominant strength.

Not denying AVB set up all wrong. Sam didn't really play different from the usual 'defend, break, use set pieces well'
I must have seen you without knowing. Where are you in that picture? The spit was an absolute disgrace. The chants were the usual shit, same as last year but by less people and less frequently.
I wouldn't have expected you to recognise me don't worry, I'm no familiar face! Struggling to make out much in that picture. The bloke who got spat on was one in front and one to the left of me. Hardly anyone around me seemed to be interested in singing apart from the bloke to my right, who basically hurled playground abuse across the divide. Did you see the guy with the flag at HT, didn't say a word, just waved the flag, and got a word from the stewards for it?!
I suppose you're right but that's the perfect set up for teams coming to our place
Anyone notice that Townsend played well considering?
I think it would have been the same whoever played today. We played to WH's advantage by playing inverted wingers. It meant that we had fuck all width and as they packed defence AND midfield centrally we had no room, passes were cut out and they got free possession. Normally with ten in defence you get it back soon enough but they kept their midfield in midfield mostly, putting us under pressure. True wingers would have forced their midfield and defence wider creating more space in the middle and would also have made us less predictable. This alone would have changed things dramatically, though it was not the only mistake today, but this one issue was clear as day and big fat Sam worked that out before the game even started.
Best player on the pitch
all the people putting the players down will be fucking rubbing their bollocks in 2 weeks when we start winning, we had a bad day at the office, and this being tottenham hotspur when we have a bad day at the office we make it so that it's a london derby against a struggling teams, that's just tottenham, we've been in worse places, anyone remeber the raziak team? my god, now that was awful, getting a draw at fulham seemed to be a godsend in them days, every top team has had their share of embarrassing losses this year, let's not pull a woolwich and start shouting 'WENGER OUT, BOARD OUT' that's cunty and melty as fuck, this year's going to be tight, this hopefully tells the players to step it up and we'll 'hopefully' come out fighting against Villa! so would everyone stop having a meltdown and keep the faith holy shit, we surely should all be used to games like this? being spurs fans and all?
I feel the same because we can only play one way. It's not bad exactly and sometimes you can win that way, it's just very limited and if the opposition nullify our tactics we don't seem to have a plan b. I also think we generally play too slowly. When we bought Holtby I thought we were going to transform that part of our game - quick one two passing...but so far, no.
Inverted wingers is beginning to feel a bit predictable. I want them to switch through the match.
