***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v Chelski OMT***

They were £80m in debt and very much in the ****ter when the Russian bought them, so they had been living beyond their means for several seasons before that.

I would estimate about ten years. To years when we were utterly ****.

no. i think the effort put in and performance has been worthy of at least a goal. losing 3-1 would be a nice change to conceding soft goals and then getting pumped 6-0. Especially if Soldado or Kane etc score, keep confidence up.

doesn't look like its going to happen now though unfortunately.

Agreed.
 
Really proud of our young players. Confident we can pass through any team. But we need to improve our defence. Chelsea showing how its done.

It would have been embarrassing had we played the pre financially doped Chelski for all those years, yes.

No one will remember that they were 'financially doped' a decade or so down the line. No one remembers how we outspent everyone else to win the double, after all.

I hope people realize that, given time. Chelsea will go down as the most successful London club of the early 21st century, having won league titles and cups, and having become the first London club to win the CL. Their financial circumstances will be forgotten. As will ours.

We will have had two decades of virtual nothingness to show for our incompetence in the 1990's and our moralistic 'sustainability' in the 2000's.

By all means, if you feel the club should be about community or memories instead of on-pitch glory, then continue doing so: that's fine ,and eminently respectable. Just don't pretend that there's anything moralistic about our supposed 'sustainability' when compared with the 'financially doped' Chelsea.

Still no excuse for going that long without winning there. Sunderland managed it last season and they are pony.
 
Mourinho showed last season that even a great manager with an expensive team, will not be successful if the right players are not available for the system he wants to play. So how did the cnuts resolve it? They went out and bought the expensive world class players they needed in Fabregas and Costa. That's the context we need to put this result into and the difference between us and the financially doped teams very difficult to bridge that gap. It's a shame but when we had the likes of Bale, Modric,, VDV and King we were more evenly matched but we didn't make the most of it.
 
its nice having a hungry young team out there that we can move forwards with rather than wasters like ade, kaboul and capoue, who are either shiit now, always been shiit or are on the way down to shiitness.

id much rather watch these guys giving it a go. these players and performances i can get behind and have faith we can develop.

It's not been forgotten how Blackburn bought a title twenty years ago.

Once they slip back to mediocrity people unfamiliar with the circumstances will look at this period and wonder why. Some research will reveal everything.

It's different when it's a derby, they'll always be more up for playing us, especially since we started doing well. Plus their fans hate us so much they actually bother to shout some obscenities.

If everything stays the same for the coming years - when has that ever happened in football?
 
Oh well, overall as expected, but with quite a few positives: Kane, Bentaleb, Mason, Fazio, Davies, several spells of good, quick passing and movement, and overall a good work ethic. Like Everton, I like the signs I'm seeing - I hope we might have turned the corner here.
 
oh well.. proud of the team if im honest with you. I didnt expect to win and we had a very very young team who played well, kept possession well against the best team in the country, who are unbeaten all season, in a fixture we haven't won in 24 years. Its a shame we couldnt get a goal for our hardwork but we are definitely getting there.

roll on Palace, lets make WHL a fortress again.
 
Really weird result, don't think we deserved a 3-0 loss at all. Not as if we deserved to win or that we even created that many chances, but really did Chelsea do anything that we didn't completely gift them?

I think we looked well prepared, and it bodes well for the rest of the season. We simply can't keep making those individual errors though.
