Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Gareth88]

Come on the lads it's not that bad we are used to it by now. Would have loved to win but we showed great heart for an injury riddled side to come back to take it to pens. On to the next one eyes on the Fa cup

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

It’s a shame because the final would have moved a P.L. game back and reduced the impact of Kane’s absence.

Playing City in a final without Kane and probability Dele. That has pain and major hump written all over it.

When everything goes against you, even something like changing the away goal rule, it is really very hard to not think we truly are cursed.

 

[maltahotspur]

With a depleted team and the Chavs having to beat us on pens, is not bad at all. We made them sweat. C'est La Vie. We've still a lot to look forward to. The lads showed a lot of heart tonight COYS

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Just really bored of it always being us now tbh

 

[midoshairband]

When was the last time one of our keepers went the right way with a penalty, never mind saved one?

Can’t hate on the players, they’re giving absolutely everything under trying and tiring circumstances

probably Gazza v Watford.....

 

[mpickard2087]

Gutting to go out like that. However we did quite a lot to piss all over our own chances and then set them on fire for good measure as well. And despite the improved effort in the second half, we were nowhere bringing our best game however patched up the team is.

Tough, but they've got to learn (especially the manner of the first goal) and use it going forward.

We are

sunday's game becomes massive now, we must ensure were still be in the cup come full time, whether thats via a win or a replay!

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Are we ever going to win anything again?

I’ve been saying for a while that we’re simply not equipped to win trophies. You can see it every time we’re in a semi or any pressure cup tie- we find a way to lose. Admittedly we were a bit unlucky today.

I’m sure we will win trophies again but I’ve never felt that it will be this team that breaks our duck, and probably it will be under a different manager.

 

[SugarRay]

do you think his good enough?

I think he’s nowhere near fit to start with.

I’d trust him over virtually anyone else in that finishing XI when it comes to penalties too. Eriksen being the only one.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

The main appeal of Top 4 to me is the fact it should make us more likely to win trophies eventually. So far, that ain't happened, and we dont have a stadium.

Anyone who looks at this as a failure - is simply not paying attention to what is happening at the squad at this moment in time. We can barely put together 11 healthy bodies. Injuries piling up at the exact wrong time.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Gazzaniga. Well, according to @Archibald&Crooks

eh? I'll have some of whatever industrial strength solvent it is that you're sniffing please

 

[UncleBuck]

Was always going to be difficult for us to go into penalties without any of Kane, Son, and Dele. Not sure Dier ever should have been picked as one of the five, mind.

Can’t believe he just didn’t slam it down the middle, I can’t understand why more players don’t any more...

 

[gavspur]

Moura’s penalty v Side Show Bob’s??? Who wanted it more?

‘Bad bad bad’

as my three year old said.

 

['O Zio]

Bollocks. Was always going to be tricky with our injury situation but it could hardly have gone worse. Lost the game and picked up even more injuries ffs

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

We all knew the result when it went to penalties. This club is cursed. 1 penalty win in last 8.

 

[topper]

As soon as the winning pen went in it got turned off in my house.

Surely all Spurs fans did the same?

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

Can we start a petition to bring in the away goals rule?

Bit fucking late now

 

[thefierycamel]

We don’t have the technical quality for me to be confident about pens

They simply had better footballers available to take their penalties I think

Of course it’s a lottery but when it comes to such things, we rarely prevail! Semi final defeat again

No shit, look at the players we are missing. Presumably son, dele and Kane would all have taken one. In any case, I'm fucked off. We should be going through on away goals, otherwise what's the fucking point of two legs? Just play it at a neutral venue
