Still not beaten them since 19
Think I agree but I can't get over the fact we still haven't beaten Chelsea at the bridge in our best season and there worst for donkeys.

Yeah didn't include Lloris, he'd have to work harder to get in a cheap shot. Suppose a cheeky punch at a corner I guess
Must try harder Hugo

Eriksen also booked for a late tackle
I'm embarassed. Our players lost their heads today. And I can't really understand why, since it all escalated after Kanes goal. It would have been more understandable if Chelsea scored the first goal, but they didn't. I'm not so sure we will finish above Arsenal after this. Alli is suspended, Dembele will be suspended, and there's possibility that Lamela will be suspended. Alderweireld will problably be out for the Southampton game. If Arsenal win against Man City away, and we draw or lose against Southampton, I'm not so sure we will finish above them. We have Newcastle away in the last game and Arsenal have Aston Villa at home. It would just be to much for me to handle..

It's a very young team, but Dembélé isn't young, he just showed bad judgment. Neither is Vertonghen. I have to think that the pressure of a title race has changed this season's new-found and welcome Spurs willingness to chip and fight and foul when necessary into recklessness and bad temper, because we were collectively very bad boys tonight.
It's remarkable that no one got sent off. No one has, all season. That suggests an element of calculating malice in our play. If you keep that in control it's an asset, but if you start to lose your temper, it rapidly becomes a liability.
The introduction of Hazard changed the game. I've no idea why he didn't start. We could have coped with that, had we kept our collective heads, but instead there were multiple head-bumping sessions, a finger in the eye, numerous scything fouls and OTT dramatics from both teams.
We worked our way into a position to win the match and then let Chelsea's well-practiced gamesmanship provoke us. That's not only immature, it's also bad for our reputation. It's unprofessional.
In terms of the football, had Mason converted a golden chance, we would have gone on to win the game, but in the circumstances, we have to be pleased to have escaped with a draw and with 11 men, sorry, I meant "boys", still on the pitch.
I hope it's an educational experience. It bloody well should be.

Oh, I did miss the first ten minutes...
Anyhow, the ref had no choice with any of our fouls... and Dier should def. have had a second yellow.
Oh well, let's just get one more win.

If the game was earlier in the season we would have beaten them, they had a chance to fuck up our slim chance of the title and that fired them up, if the game was 2 months ago they wouldn't have played to that standard.

If you're referring to us, I don't think that's true at all.

Like others have said, we're a very young and relatively inexperienced team. A game like this one tonight, IMO, is essential in our learning and gaining that experience. I think the players grow from this. And Poch is the best man to lead them!
I like to see a bit of fight but we were two goals up and lost control
Chelsea mugged us in to losing our heads and as a result we fucked up a game we were in complete control of
The Mason chance was a huge moment in the game, he could have wrapped the game up and he basically passed it back to the keeper
