I have a bad feeling about this one but then again i have a bad feeling for most games. This one though is different...i think we're gonna lose by at least 2 goal
It's never nice to see an ex deliriously happy with the person they dumped you for. That is what Andre Villas-Boas had to put up with last season as his former club Chelsea skipped off into the Champions League sunset with his ex-assistant Roberto Di Matteo.
Now, roughly seven and a half months later, AVB has the chance to show his old employers what they are missing as they visit his new home for what promises to be one hell of an emotionally-charged lunchtime encounter. The Portuguese will be hoping to serve the revenge cold.
Yes, our first top-flight game today is Tottenham v Chelsea, north v west London, Andre Villas-Boas v Roberto Di Matteo.
AVB has been at pains to stress that today's game is not about him or revenge but I can't imagine many people believe that. Besides, you know how we press lot operate. We'll milk this for every ounce of juice. To paraphrase Harry Hill, I like AVB, but I also like RDM. There's only one way to settle this: football!

Did you write that? Very good comparison if so.
To continue it..fudge the ugly bitch!
This is the biggest game in the history of Spurs. If we win this one we show we can beat the top of the table team , we show we can beat the best team in Europe and we put the fear of GHod into other teams big and small!!!
If we lose, it don't really matter. We are building a new squad and that takes time.
Seriously, though, I have never looked forward to a game as much as this one, even finals. We can really make a statement in this game. It is all about the result.
I would be just as happy with an undeserved lucky win (maybe even happier) than giving them a sound beating as we did the year we got 4th.
Nothing I despise more than this "oh it's only a transition season" mentality. We can not afford to do badly, and then let the manager off because he needs time or whatever. We should remain strict and if we do poor ensure it is very effectively dealt with. We should not look at losses as something we should expect with wins being a nice surprise here and there. I'm gonna treat AVB exactly like I treated Harry, and if we don't produce the expected results, he should be dealt with by the chairman.
Spurs Starting XI:
Friedel
Walker - Caulker - Gallas - Vertonghen
Sandro - Sigurdsson
Lennon - Dempsey - Bale
Defoe
talksport says no BALE or Dembele!
