Although it bears out my fears, I don't think the recent history is any indicator. We appear to be MILES behind them this year....What about recent history e.g.last two or so years which is the only really relevant datapoint with regards to Sunday?

Why is it not an indicator? Players are largely the same on both sides. We have been massively outplayed in those four games from what I rememberAlthough it bears out my fears, I don't think the recent history is any indicator. We appear to be MILES behind them this year....

Just feels like we've gone backwards at a decent lick and they have carried on keeping up the levels or improving.Why is it not an indicator? Players are largely the same on both sides. We have been massively outplayed in those four games from what I remember
Quite the achievement from Daniel when you consider how wide the gap was in the early Roman eraJust feels like we've gone backwards at a decent lick and they have carried on keeping up the levels or improving.
I've not felt this defeatest going into a game against them for ...... ever maybe.
Of course, it’s football and will make a win even sweeter… that said, if we play this game ten times unlikely we would win one game, which helps frames the odds and explains the general apathyRead all the stats about how few times Spurs have beaten Chelsea, realize how bad the last two games have been, but this is football. The more talented team doesn't always win. In the opener that was the case and it is possible (even if not likely) it could happen again. In Kane and Son you have two players who can punish other team's mistakes. If one of them gets an early goal then Nuno can put them back in the defensive shell and get out with a point or three. Not giving up hope.
You mean we haven’t beaten them for 2000 years?Quite the achievement from Daniel when you consider how wide the gap was in the early Roman era
Murderers' goals shouldn't count.Alonso will score, I guess that is the only safe prediction.
Harius Kanus scored the winner at the Tottenham Hotspur Colisseum.You mean we haven’t beaten them for 2000 years?
Friedel was a spritely 39 in that game.Harius Kanus scored the winner at the Tottenham Hotspur Colisseum.
Pretty useless with him too but point takenSon is the key. Without Kane we're fine, without Son we're useless.
