If you don't have sky it is live here:Tottenham V Chelsea

 

[London_Calling]

If I'm reading this right, 'arry's doing something unexpected with his formation....

 

[Corax]

Bale not so injured lol

 

[London_Calling]

Arry's totally done AVB on tactics so far.

I'm not even sure I believe Bale was 'injured' for the Sunderland game.

 

[Corax]

Boo.

 

[El Sueno]

Arse.

 

[Corax]

Ade should have done better.

 

[El Sueno]

Bullshit. That was never offside.

 

[Corax]

Gallas was. Not Ade.

ETA: looking at the replay he wasn't. Really looked it at first though.

 

[El Sueno]

Flippin' tense this!

 

[xes]

well, I thought we'd grabbed it at the end there.

Shame about the dissallowed goal, but these things happen.

 

[El Sueno]

Gutted we didn't get the 3 points but, considering some of Chelsea's misses, glad we didn't throw it away completely. Decent game for the neutral.

I suppose, of the top 6, this result suited all the others more than Tottenham, but it'll still do - just about. We got enough out of it for the players to still believe. Shame to have lost VdV at half time.

Impressed with what 'arry is still getting out of Adebeyor, if anything he's working harder and harder.

Norwich and Swansea away, then West Brom at home - all of them are the ones we're supposed to be winning if we're serious about a top 4 finish....I'd maybe take 7 points now .....

Seasonal greetings, chaps; a present from VdV this morning (he's fit) and one from me, this is still worth the read - all of it:

For with 10 minutes remaining, and with Milan waxing and Spurs waning, the home supporters lifted Redknapp's tiring players with a rousing rendition of "Come On You Spurs". It was sung with a visceral intensity, a deep belief that their team could come through this late Milan storm.

The players responded to the exhortations.....

<report>

And then came the chant, sweeping Spurs on a tide of emotion into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Great night.

I kind of agree, but I'm also hugely apprehensive about Ade's development at WHL.

He's working hard, and contributing a lot to the team. Unfortunately, he's also dropping back further and further with each game. We bought him to fill the missing centre-forward role, which he did with aplomb. And now we're making him play as an attacking midfielder.

I'm christening this issue "The Spurs Striker Paradox".

Happy days

 

[London_Calling]

Martin Jol: you beauty!

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Lovely results all round.

 

[TruXta]

You're next.

 

[London_Calling]

Well, I fancy it loads ..... Gawd bless Norwich for wanting to play football.

 

[Corax]

4 point lead on Chelsea for 3rd with a GiH? That'd do me nicely.

 

[London_Calling]

Fwiw, the game in hand is Everton at home - in about three weeks.

 

[TruXta]

Good first half of football that, apart from a shortage of (Norwich) goals.

 

[Corax]

Cracking game, Lilywhites playing some great football, and Gareth Bale furthering the PoV that he's the most complete player on earth.

 

[TruXta]

He is looking sharp today. Still more impressed with Norwich considering how much their line-up cost.

 

[Corax]

We've been so good so far. 1-0 doesn't nearly do it justice. No disrespect to Norwich, they've played well, but we ought to notch a couple more really.

 

[London_Calling]

Will that do?

 

[IC3D]

BAALE!!!!

 

[Corax]

Will that do?

My stream's a couple of minutes behind. Therefore you ruined it for me and I want another one.

Bastard.

 

[Corax]

Zak (?) Whitbread looks like a young Gordon Strachan.

Discuss.

Or don't. Up to you really. You may well have better things to do.
