****Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea****

[paxtonwolf]

I would love for them to come out of it thinking they didn't deserve to lose (Costa denied a penalty for instance).

Spot on, be nice to have the boot on the other foot for once in this fixture

I think it'd be crazy to move Dembele from the position he's been playing so well.

Has to be a straight swap, Alli for Mason.

What position is that?

He seems to be deeper than Alli most of the time and that's where his ability to hold on to the ball under pressure is most useful. IMO we are closer to a 4-3-3 than anything else.

THIS GAME IS ABOUT POWER.

Time to turn the corner and show those fudgeing kers
with all their money and bragging that we are not scared
or intimidated anymore...we have the players the confidence the will
and I hope the fans let them have it as well..............

[We are Tottenham]

Jose Mourinho has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur and their head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, have got it easy as they combine a top-four challenge with bringing through a host of young players.

Mourinho, the Chel53a manager, has also said he has no sympathy with Spurs over their gruelling fixture list ahead of tomorrow's (Sunday's) lunchtime clash at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham are unbeaten in the league since the opening-day defeat by Manchester United and sit fifth, 10 points ahead of Chel53a.

While transforming Spurs into serious top-four challengers, Pochettino has also given chances to a number of youngsters, including Harry Kane, Dele Alli, who is suspended tomorrow, Eric Dier, Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb.

Conversely, Mourinho still struggles to find space in his side for teenager Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has made only four appearances this season.

Mourinho is impressed by the work Pochettino, with whom he enjoys a close relationship, has done at Spurs but believes the Argentine is helped by the fact he is working under less pressure than the club's top-four rivals.

"The team is really good, they keep the players they want to keep and I think they bring the right players in," said Mourinho. "No pressure on them, like it is in the other four or five top teams to reach important positions. So they have great conditions to do the magnificent work they are doing.

"Nobody speaks about them as title contenders like they speak about [Manchester] City, [Manchester] United, this and that. They lose a couple of matches and nothing happens. They are in the Europa League, in the group phase, and no one cares about that at this stage. They go smoothly step by step, build a team, new players and give conditions for the young players to develop.

"They have good conditions to do a very good work. When the club is powerful to decide they don't sell and to decide they can invest and bring in this or that, they have good conditions and no pressure to do magnificent work. They need a great manager, which they have. And good players, which they have, and the conditions too."

Tottenham arrived back in England from a gruelling Europa League trip to Azerbaijan to face Qarabag at 4.30am yesterday morning, ahead of tomorrow lunchtime's kick-off against Chel53a.

Pochettino branded the schedule a "joke", but Mourinho offers no sympathy to Spurs over their fixture list. Mourinho was furious two seasons ago, when Chel53a had to play both legs of their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid and travel to Liverpool in the space of nine days. Despite that, Chel53a won 2-0 at Anfield.

"We played a Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid in one week, we played Tuesday and Wednesday," said Mourinho, who will assess captain John Terry's ankle injury today after the defender missed training yesterday.

"In the middle of these two matches we had to play against Liverpool and our country decided it was not a problem for us to play Saturday or Sunday.

"If that wasn't a problem for Chel53a, why is it a problem now for Tottenham? We either have a solution for everyone or no one."

Mourinho had a bust-up with Diego Costa during the Champions League victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv and, while he insists the pair have made up, believes the striker must start reading situations better to return to his best scoring form.

Costa has scored only four goals this season. "He's not reading the game properly," Mourinho said. "You have to play not when you have the ball, but when others have the ball. You have to anticipate things and read the game faster."

He seems to be deeper than Alli most of the time and that's where his ability to hold on to the ball under pressure is most useful. IMO we are closer to a 4-3-3 than anything else.

Thought it was rather clear that Alli and Dembele switched positions early on in the Arsenal game as we were looking rather open early on. Kept those positions for that game and against West Ham.

The most obvious replacement for Alli for me is Lamela in to the attacking trio, most likely with Eriksen moving centrally, Son on the left and Lamela on the right where he usually plays. Also means getting Lamela, Son and Eriksen who have all looked in decent form into the side. I like Mason, but he still doens't look 100% after his injury.

I also like the idea of Dembele in the deeper role against Chelsea.

A win here will take us to 27 points and see us two points off the top spot. If the scum win there will be 3 teams on 29 points and ManU on 28.

 

[mudshark]

Chuffski have taken only 4 out of a possible 18 points on the road, while we've only dropped 4 out of our last 18 at home, so no doubting what the sexy result would be. Michael Oliver's the ref, and he tends to be on the pedantic and whistle-happy side IMV. Just the sort Moaninho likes to get his players performing their antics for.

 

[SteveAWOL]

It's also strange since most of them have no memory of anything that happened before 2003.

most of them hadn't even heard of Chel53a before 2003

Yup, this was the Chavski team that I remember when I was at school but I don't recall anyone in my year supporting them and I expect most of their current fans would struggle to name more than a couple of the Chavs 1992 squad...

Plus they'd probably be shocked at the state of Stamford Bridge before the Roubles started flowing in!

 

[thfcsteff]

Hello.
Is it ME you're looking for?!!!!

 

[thfcsteff]

Went to that filthy brick hole a few times, undoubtably the best ay out there was the 82 FA Cup QF. They had threatened to 'bomb' the North Stand that day. Wannnkkkers.

 

[thfcsteff]

2-1

 

[Papercut]

Barring Dier I think think the rest up top are fluid (including Kane) so we shouldn't lose too much monentum be it Son or Mason coming in.

 

[Papercut]

I meant Mason or Lamela lol

They were the West Ham of west London

Smashed those c*nts last week, smash these c*nts this week

 

[LutonSpurs]

I think Poch will have really studied this Chelsea side and what has caused them to falter and the players will have been well drilled on how to find their weakness. Jose on the other hand can watch all our games this season and bar silly mistakes we don't have many weak areas. I am confident we should win in my mind but my heart is fearful. Opposite of normal expectations for is against this lot.

Let's beat these damn scummy cnuts and send Jose to the gulag!

Five reasons we have to win tomorrow:

1) Diego Costa, especially after his antics in the Cup Final, but just the mention of his name is reason enough to want to rub his face in freshly served brick. Let's hope Jan and Toby have some nasty tricks up their sleeve for him.

2) The plan to fudge up our use of Wembley; i also wouldnot be surprised if a certain metal sheet works company have been getting some Roubles as 'charitable donations' over recent years...

3) Remember this?:

4) Oh and this:

clams!!!!!

5) And arguably most of all (in terms of our recent history) this:

If we just want a reminder of how scummy their players are (and not even using Costa as an example) i give you this:

PLEASE, PLEASE BEAT THESE SCUMBAGS POCH AND CO!



COYMFS!!

But bloody hell, what kind of brick OMT have you created here @Roy1983??
A truly DISGUSTING effort here...
I know you don't have an avatar, but this is surely the laziest way to get the mods to create one for you!

Mods, to save you time you can just use one of these i reckon:
