Depends if he gets done for stamp on fiberglass....I don't think he will.

Well, it definitely wasn't a stamp. He stepped on his hand as he walked past. It could have been intentional, but you can't tell for certain can you?

And have you ever seen bigger hypocrites than the Chelsea players? Costa is the biggest cheat in the league, but go anywhere near any of their players and they literally scream like babies.

Whatever anyone says, after us being so 'good' and ****nal being so 'poor' all season, if they finish 2nd after Chelsea kill our title hopes then that will be the spursiest thing ever!

Ok so I've calmed down abit. Look I agree that I love watching the fight but we lost our heads in this game totally.

Not being bullied and showing fight and just being dirty and losing your shit are two different things.

It is and it is something that this talented young squad will learn from tonight's game.

Chelsea away was always the hardest game of the run in. Last week ended the title challenge but this is a Spurs team to be immensely proud of. Seriously. Chelsea just cheered a home draw with us like they won the champions league

This is true, he flung something towards his direction from his nose. Saw it on t.v. just after he made that great tackle on him in front of our support. Costa was holding on to Walker and when he let him go, Walker turned around and launched a greenie.

Is flicking a boger worthy of a retro ban?

Gonna be all sorts of fines and video research done on us this week

Can't blame them, they're all young and just got provoked as the title slipped away

Good thing Alli wasn't there, he would've killed a bitch. Not banned, Prison!

OK, so the players clearly lost it out there, but I also think that the (over)intensity they showed out there comes from the same place that has spurred us to second place and a title challenge.

I think Poch is all about that kind of emotion and intensity (which Spurs have lacked for ages) and this particular fixture was just the perfect storm for everything to boil over: disappointment in the tie last week, away at Chelsea, everyone rooting against you, Chelsea players saying they want Leicester to win the league in the build-up to the game, and a young, ambitious team.

I'd take this team over any we've had for years and years.

Just watched Hershel in season 4 of The Walking Dead and had alerts to my phone for the game. If Rick Grimes is the Tottenham collective then Chelsea is the Governor: a nasty, duplicitous, petty, ego-centric entity with no reeedeming features.

What a truly mental game of football.

I love this team.

The, they lost the plot there at the end but it's a learning experience and while I think it got a tiny bit out of hand, I can't fault anyone for getting carried away. It was an emotionally charged night and one of a pressure even poch is new to.

There are going to be more of them on Tuesday and Wednesday nights next year so let's learn from tonight and just hope we have 11 that we can field next week.

I will not have arsenal finish above is.

Absolutely agree with you there. Plus it was fabregas so should be commended.

Moat pathetic moment of the game was Fibreglass running up totl the linesman to show his hand which Lamela trod on. Literally no mark visible. What a shit bag.
It wasted two minutes of added time and that was the whole point, classic Chelsea.
They were two down got back to two all and never went for a winner, instead they pulled every trick in the book to hang on to a draw at home to Tottenham, how the mighty have fallen.

I'll tell you this. I will bide my time waiting for
Other teams fans who have wronged us to fail. Then I will clear my throat and let them have it full in the face. Spittle and bile ejecting from my mouth.

I think Clattenberg was much of the reason why the game descended into chaos. Let too much go too early, then it was almost a free for all. Lost all control of the players.

We've got to realise that getting involved in all that fighting and nonsense in a Derby away from home just serves to fire up the home fans and as a by product the home players.

Needed to keep our heads play it game and close it out

Still a point was a minimum needed for keeping the goons behind us. Gives us a bit of breathing space due to our goal difference.
It's been an amazing season for such a young team we are now six points clear of Man City with plus 9 and 3 ahead of the goners with better goal difference and they play each other next weekend man city win we will finish above the goners without kicking another football this season amazing for all of us Spurs fans I for one am on cloud nine onwards and upwards!! And this young side didn't get bullied by them classless tossers tonight brilliant !!

We just left too many gaps when 2 up.

Leicester would not have left those gaps

That ultimately was the difference

Sometimes its better to be knocked out cold than lose on points. We could have lost the league on saturday afternoon whilst doing the shopping, but we took one right on the chin.

Because this sort of anger is GOLD. Anger is a fucking energy you cant underestimate. This team will be the same team that starts next season and its pissed off.

Next seasons champions have been forged today.

Poch full of respect in defeat. Top guy.
I think he's got one thing wrong though. In the interview he said, at 2-0 up we should have got the third.
Why? I couldn't disagree more. That's not how champions do it (Real apart, but how often does that work?)
2-0 up should be plenty to win the game. Champions tend to have a bank of 1-0 and 2-0 results. For them that means job done, shut up shop. You don't need a third. I'm not saying sit back but just get tight and see it through.
Seven 1-0 results for Leicester this season.
Does this attitude of going for another goal result in the opposition getting opportunities as we continue to pile forwards?
It is great to watch us sweeping forwards but I would sacrifice the odd 3/4-0 for those extra wins and points, that we could have taken from tonight, Arsenal and Newcastle at home for example.
Poch has done wonders for Spurs but thought that that was a really interesting tell from him
