***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea

[Robbo]

Sky are turning the volume down when there is swearing

Not much sound when Chelski play then, considering how they continuously scream obscenities in the ref's face.

Its a learning experience for this young team. A more canny team, a Furgeson team, would have some of the aggression and provocation but they'd know when to play it cool and focus as well. Let chel$ea get their knickers in a twist while we focus and win.

That's Dembele gone for the rest of the season

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Dembele was silly there

 

[alekaras]

I'd have him central. I think that he could do some really damage there. He is probably the best in the squad at playing a through ball, he's good on the overlap and is often our most advanced played when Kane drops back. He'd also keep their CBs on their toes.

Prophetic

Dembele gouging Costa's eye.

That's a ban incoming.

Come on Spurs keep you heads.

we're going to be screwed without moussa for the last couple of games. i cannot believe what ive just witnessed. i love the fact we are aggressive and nasty, but when you start losing the likes of alli and dembele for 6 matches combined you are just fudging yourselves.

i cannot believe what ive just seen from dembele.

 

[scaramanga]

gouged costa in the eye

I'd argue (if employed by Spurs as a lawyer) that Dembele was merely trying to push a known violent thug's face away from a teammate (as he's been known to bite and spit) and his thumb slipped.

Trying to keep quiet cos the littluns in bed but did a silent roly poly goal celebration on the bed. A lot of effort

I have no chance of containing myself like that! I've been jumping up and down like a mad man!

Need to keep our cool here. There are better ways to get Costa. Don't need to give these the moral high ground.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Nothing Costa doesn't do 5 or 6 times a week

problem is, he gets away with it, we are Spurs, Dembele 100% will get banned. Us winning is not in the script, if we hold on, the FA will find another way to stop us

 

[mudshark]

I really hope MP rips into them during the break, otherwise we're going to be down to 9 or 10 before the game's over, guaranteed.

 

[Dicko]

I can't see this game settling down anytime soon...

 

[Baleforce]

good half, played against 12 men, had to put up with a lot of late intentionally nasty tackles, held our own so far

no way the game will finish without a couple
of reds, ivanovic must be invisible

Dembele's season is done.

Poch desperately needs to calm things down. When it comes to being c*nts, Chelsea have our number every day of the week. We cannot, *cannot* react as we have done. This is where leadership is key, yet even Hugo's been somewhat caught up in it all.

Hook Rose and bring Davies on. Harsh, but it has to be done. We have three of our defenders on yellow cards, and the way they're trying to get in our faces, one of them is definitely going to be sent off before the 60 minute mark if this goes on. Set an example as well; show that we cannot react and sacrifice our advantage.

Edit: if possible, shift to a more compact structure at half time, with Dier covering Toby and Walker and Dembele covering the LB and Verts. They're going to try and isolate the full-backs, draw free-kicks, and be c*nts generally. We cannot play that game. We *must* not.

Bring Kane and Lamela deeper into the center to cover for Dier and Dembele shifting out, and leave Son up as the advanced forward.

 

[Hootnow]

Superb performance so far, very controlled and clinical from the attack too.

Stupid from our players with some of the stuff they're getting involved in though. Especially Dembele. That may well be the end of his season now and it would be deserved too. Silly, especially when we're 2-0 up and in a title race still (mathematically anyway).

 

[SpurMeUp]

Need to keep our cool here. There are better ways to get Costa. Don't need to give these the moral high ground.

If they are smart, they can get him sent off. A few little words and digs here and there. While we laugh in his face - he'd lash out in no time.

 

[Huddy]

Honest I'd go with 3 subs now, Walker, Rose and Dembele off now before they get an early bath.

Clattenburg has already proven he can't referee big games, he's made a rod for his own back here and he'll send off players in the second half.

Edit: Almost forgot what a half!

 

[Craig_J]

Hasn't been a fast paced end to end thriller but we've taken the chances we've got and have a solid lead as a result. The boys do seem to be learning. Now just to hold on to it for another 45 mins...

Demebele will surely also get retroactively punished which is very frustrating as with him and Ali out our midfield options are looking much weaker.

Need to stop getting drawn into fisticuffs battles and keep our heads cool... Vertonghen could have caused us to concede after Costa was complaining to the ref. Ignore the mind games and see the football match out...

COYS

Where is Fazio when you need him?

 

[glasgowspur]

At this rate there will be no games next week because everyone will be banned!
