Off to watch a live Podcast being made by James Richardson for The Guardian somewhere in Bloomsbury. They were supposed to showing the game, but emailed a few days back to say they're now going to show the Scum vs Soton game as neither Sky nor BTSport are screening our match. Is that not a bit odd? Or am I completely wrong (and it's to do with showing it live in a public place)? I can't see the TV details for our match anywhere.

I'm clearly biased, but with two channels sharing the games, one would have expected the Chelsea vs Spurs match to be the higher profile of the 4 fixtures tonight? No?

I'm going too!

edit: no, I'm not. Ticket sales just ended in the five minutes since I posted that.

This is literally the last fixture I'd pick to have right now.

I can't see anything other than a Chelsea win, they're just ridiculously strong all over, coincided with being at home and our history against big sides of recent.

If I had to envisage how tonight will pan out...

We will look pedestrian in comparison, and have no control of the game and composure on the ball.

Early goal for them, likely courtesy of Hazard... We will blow a golden opportunity against the run of play, either before or just after this goal.

A mistake just before half time will cost us another goal, go into half time with the game firmly in Mourinho's hands.

Second half, baffling substitution causes meltdown.

Quiet period in second half as Chelsea let the time tick away until one of our players give away a penalty and may/may not get a red card.

We implode from here on in and lose the game 4 or 5-0.

This is partially in hope of a jinx, failing that... It'll be interesting to see how wide of the mark I am.

Not looking good.
Around about 7pm I will be mainly drinking Staropramen - 3 for £5 Morrisons.
Never tried it before but says on the bottle "#1 BEER IN THE WORLD."
Strarolramen is wonderful. Enjoy and I hope it gets you through the 90mins.....

Chelsea 0 Spurs 4

Soldado 21(pen), 38 Terry (og) 50, 87

Willian red card 21

Pochetinno to offer Mourhino his hand in the 88th minute before heading down the tunnel.
That would be great, unfortunately I think we'll do well to get 0 points

I'm feeling optimistic about this. I'm not saying we'll win, or even get a result but I feel we've suddenly got a foundation to build on so confident we'll put in a good performance - that's all I ask. If that performance returns points so be it, if not then we have our heads geld high for Palace.

Actually very close to how I see things panning out. We're a mid-table team right now with the quality of players in the squad. A good win over another mid-table team doesn't change that overnight. I wonder what minute we'll see the confidence and self-belief drain from the faces of our players? My guess - 7th minute.

A bullshit decision by the ref will go against us tonight, guaranteed.

I think it will be pretty much the same as the City away game where we don't go away embarrassed (despite losing by a handful of goals), but instead are blaming a refereeing decision / guilt edge chance when really we know we'd probably have still lost anyway :rolleyes:

Really hope we put the same team out today as sunday, maybe bar chiriches. All through the centre of the park needs to remain the same imo, centre back pairing, midfield two and the two strikers. If it's good enough for Chelsea not to rotate it's good enough for us!

I'm oddly confident.

Dreamt that Cahill got sent off after hacking down Kane last man. 1-3 Spurs.

Then I woke up.

2-1 Chelsea.
