Match Chelsea fuckwits (H) - 1st November, 530KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I mean, that's a terrible barometer.

Michael Ricketts, Zat Knight, Francis Jeffers, useless players with caps.
Phil Jagielka - 40 caps. 40! That's more than Michael Carrick.
Chris Smalling 31 caps.
Kalvin Phillips - 31!
Kieran Gibbs 10 caps
Kobbie Mainoo, who IMO is very average and only got picked because Man United, 10 caps.

Then flip it on its head.
Andy Cole, one of the most prolific English forwards of his era. 15 caps.
Steve Bruce, captain of Man United with over 300 games & 9 major honors - not a single cap, ever.
Arguably 53 caps for Glenn Hoddle was criminal.

It used to mean something when you had 5 subs on the bench and only 3 changes per match.
Now they have 11 subs on the bench and up to 5 can come on.
Caps are worthless. If you're English and play for Man United, Spurs, Arse, Chelsea, City, Liverpool and one or two others, chances are, you'll get a few caps.
Is us finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th and reaching a CL final during his best years a better barometer? Put in some top performances against the likes of Barca and Real Madrid in the CL. Not saying he was ever world class but he was a very solid PL player at his best and good enough to get the call up, remember him putting in a decent performance in a win against Spain too.
 
------------------Vicario---------------
--Porro--Danso----VdV---Spense--
---------------Paulhinha---------------
--Sarr--------Simmons-------Ber----
--------Kudus--------KoloMuani-------

Let Simmons play behind #9. Don't ask him to be Maddison. Let him play off Muani and roam around their box. Let him be comfortable and do his thing (whatever that is, but just try something with him).
 
Was just looking at our recent home record (no point checking away!) against these cunts - makes for painful viewing, not even a few draws.
About time we turned these bastards over.

Oh come on, we all know that was due to Dembele, Wanyama, even Dier. Winks was a small cog at best. He was propped up by many truly talented players.
If he's so great why is he rotting in the championship? With Skipp.
 
Considering the good news re Udogie and Romero

Vicario

Porro Romero VDV Udogie

Palhinha Bentancur
Sarr

Kudus RKM Odobert


bring on Xavi and Bergvall at 60 mins.
 
In a footballing/metaphorical sense...
I hope we fucking MURDER those cunts tomorrow!

We need to inflict 2 decades worth of hate, anger and misery that - bar only a handful of games - they've inflicted on us REPEATEDLY !

The tide HAS to turn...
The times, they are a-changing!

I wanna Give em fucking HELL on earth tomorrow!
 
What's all this recent up the chels bollox by their plastic fans? As if they've been fans for decades but jumped on the bandwagon when the shady Russian broke rule after rule to be be successful. Shit ground as well.

If Udogie is starting, I'd play Xavi as well. He was linking up well with Udogie at Leeds. With Muani up top who is also good at linking play, they can definitely cause Chelsea problems.

But we need to get Muani more involved. If Udogie starts, he'll get more service. I'd also like to see Porro down the wing putting crosses into Muani and play Kudus in midfield again. Chelsea aren't good in the air so we need to take advantage of that.
 
They are mobb deep in players, yet have no significant fearful 11.

Loads of Reds recently suggests disharmony.

We need to be tactically tough as we can be with them, rotate robust challenges. If we bring a gnarly attitude and have the legs, we’ll do them with a Muani brace.
