Didnt realise shearer was such a prick. Was he watching the same game as me. What exactly did he think chelsea dominated? Certaintly wasnt shots, chances, corners possession. Ok they fluked a win. Get out their ass. So glad jenas put him in his place. What a bellend.

We still have Manchester City to hopefully help us avoid that lose/lose scenario.
mate --- take a breath. We outplayed them for huge portions of the game, didn't have the rub of the green and significantly had key injuries. Over the last 2 years we have been the best team in the league by 11 points. Just imagine this year if our and Chelseas injuries had been reversed. We'd be top no question. This team is growing and getting better.

People can neg you but I dunno what else that is. Played them off the park and lost by 2 goals.
@optajoe 7 - Tottenham have now lost their last seven FA Cup semi-final matches, the longest such run in the competition's history. Choke.

Honestly. If I could get after whoever coined that expression with a blowtorch.

Defensively it wasn't a stand out performance, agreed, but the match came after a very difficult week and we made them look very ordinary throughout long periods of the game.

I know right, can't fucking stand it. I hate how much our own fans even use it now too.
he has to give this to Trippier....we need to reward good play and remember it is a squad game. The Son v Davies decision was tough but came down to two things:
1. Ben hasn't been playing particularly well (though he is improving)
2. Son has been on fire in the FA Cup and again, you need to reward that
People will disagree with Poch but these moves are smart over the long run

What's for tea mum?
Well you can either have this bowl of sick sprinkled with piss, or this tub of shit...
Hmm, decisions decisions...
So how would you defend their goals?
2 lucky strikes, one wrong penalty and a direct freekick.
Not to be rude, but that was insanely lucky for them to Get 4 goals.
Free kick, penalty and corner. Three set pieces that changed the game. Apart from that we were the better team. Conte plays typical Italian football and knows how to defend in the big games. The key was bringing on 3 excellent subs that were always going to stretch us. When we took of Wanyama we were sunk. Matic had all the time in the world to hit that shot. We took a risk to get back into the game and it failed.
We will learn from this and move on. We need a stronger bench to compete at the top level in the CL and to win trophies.
The biggest disappointment to day was the referee. Chelsea kept coming through the back of our players and slowing down our transitional play. They had 2 yellows, could have been 10. The penalty wasn't a penalty and Hugo handled outside the box. Basically he missed everything.
Also, our fans leaving with 5 mins to play. How are the team expected to fight when the fans don't show any? Really pathetic.
