Chelsea v. Tottenham Hotspur 01/04/2018 @ 16:00 GMT

First shot was understandable but still the wrong decision...second try was ludicrous

I nearly headbutted him through the screen for that but a goalscorer's instinct and desire I guess.

Had we not scored from that situation and gone on to have lost the game however.....

Just met Dembele and got my 7 year old cousin his autograph, called him the Goat and he grinned. My cousin didn't really care but I was very excited. I'm 28

You used your 7 year old cousin as a cover to ask for Dembele's autograph, didn't you...

I like your thinking...

Fantastic result

That was beautiful to watch, don't remember us ever winning at Stamford bridge, all 3 goals had something quality about them too. Christians shot, his pass to son and diers ball combined with Dell's brilliant touch and finish.
8 points, job done I would say!

 

[Bill Madrid]

Two cool bits tickled me, not sure they've been mentioned...

Min 93:40 of the 94 minutes. Chelsea attack weakly.

Martin Tyler: "These will be Chelsea's last chances to get something here"

After the game, Defoe is asked what advice he'd give to kids looking to repeat Eriksen's shooting technique:

"Don't try that shit, just get it on target"

When was the last time we finished above Chelsea AND Woolwich in the same season?

That's going to be the norm

They hate us because their fucking stolen gangster monies could never buy the Dele!

 

[Oracle]

I've got a 100% win record at Stamford Bridge

 

[Hrytn]

It all coming together, the team maturing, CL experiences, PL top 4 consistency and plus the brand new stadium

I think the best thing I heard all day (apart from the final whistle) was when hazard was rolling about on the floor.,
The commentator said “hazard is not one to make a meal of it”

I nearly pissed mysrlf

Every Spurs fan is a City fan next week. Every single one.

And Everton and even dare I say it Spammers

 

[Mrs Perryman]

I managed to get home for the second half, although I did feel a bit bad about leaving just as I finished my lunch! Absolutely buzzing about the result, I've literally liked every comment posted on the last few pages. Can't wait to see it on MOTD. Happy April Fool's Day everybody xxx

What a win today but we seriously need to be looking at a replacement for Lloris in the summer.

 

[Bazali]

One thing other than the goals that I LOVED today, was Lamela studding Fabregas and then kneeing him in the back of the head as he got up, then Jan getting away scott free after taking out Hazard.

This feels like the best, most satisfying victory of Pochs reign......and boy theres been some good fucking wins.

Cant even describe the feeling of smugness right now

Bet you can!

We have one but one mistake only albeit a significant one

16 Conclusions: Chelsea 1-3 Tottenham - Football365

Fun read. Loved these quotes in particular.

On Lamela:

Is there a player in the Premier League who uses his elbows when making challenges more than Lamela... by having the arms up before the contact comes, it makes Lamela look as if he is simply stronger than the opponent rather than deliberately catching them in the face. Add him to the list of Premier League bastards.

Lamela made more tackles than any other Tottenham player, while Fabregas and Alonso were more starved of service than the first half... he has sexy mode and sabotage mode; this was him excelling in the latter.

On Sanchez:

Twice in the first half, Tottenham left Sanchez in a position where he had to make one of his now customary sliding interventions. Were this any other 21-year-old, you might be worried about him mistiming the challenge or being caught out of position. But not Sanchez.

The Colombian didn’t make a single tackle against Chelsea, the only Tottenham outfielder not to do so. He also made the most interceptions of any Tottenham player. That is persuasive evidence of a novice central defender who is already highly accomplished at reading the game two pages ahead of his opponents. Toby who?
