Chelsea Vs Tottenham: FA Cup Match Thread

[Col_M]

Had it been a British defender l'm sure it would have made a bigger subject of discussion. It's a part of the game just like arguing with the ref etc. The refs allow it and nothing changes.

Amazing how you love to throw around words like choke and bottle every time we dare to lose a match.

I didn't see anyone choking today - I saw a very high quality match between two good sides. We didn't defend to our usual standard, but there was lack of desire or effort.

No not every time we lose a match. Every single time we lose an important match. Again and again and again

I don't have a problem with them leaving when it was 4-2, but some of them were very vociferous throughout the game as if they were the only true fans and yet they left first. The players and manager deserve nothing but praise. It was a bit embarrassing when a fight broke out with a father and son involved in the fracas.

I didn't leave early either, but if people want to do that that's up to them. Maybe they are fed of if watching there team choke again after the 4th goal goes in

Well that's the risk they take when buying a ticket to watch Spurs...against Chelsea....at Wembley....in a semi final.

Look, I can't be bothered to argue about this. We all have our opinions on this matter and they're not going to change.

Almost kicked off at half time when some klopp lookalike took too long to order beers. Some bloke basically offered him out. All calmed down but the catering staff took the piss.

What were they fighting about?

So, when we beat Man City and Chelsea, was that choking in reverse? We lost a game due to being punished for some simple errors. It happens, so I suggest you get over it.

He may not be yet, but he's young an learning. Jose and conte in the last week have shown the difference that top level manager can make. Poch has to get team selections and tactics right against the big boys. He changes far too many things

He isn't young though, he is in the same age range as Simeone, Pep Conte and Klopp and no one calls them young managers. He has been a manager close to decade now, I'm not sure how much more progression there is to come.

So devastated by this. Why the fuck don't we look close to scoring from 11 corners, but Chelsea (who got their first in the 75th minute) obviously score. Yes everything they touched was a goal today, and that's sort of out of character for this Tottenham side, but there surely is a pattern in the vital games: today, our CL campaign, Newcastle etch.

I'm certain in another game we would have marked players properly and not have everyone storm into our own 5 yard box on that corner, like a pub side completely neglecting anything else. It might be me being a little cynical tonight, but certainly feels like we still have more fuck ups when the pressure is truly on.

I'm still waiting for next years Grand National winner.

The stewards took an age to get involved. Other Spurs fans piled in, I think to pull away the son, who went over the edge in terms of anger.

Ship sailed there mate.

support chelsea or city then, i could not be more proud of our team and manager with the resources available.

Oh shit was it a farther and son kicking off with eachother?

 

[riggi]

The torch was a good laugh.

This isn't me being a sore loser over today's match, but highlighting a prime example of something that is becoming more and more accepted in the game. It particularly bugs me when our players resort to it (e.g. Alli against Swansea).

Honestly, it is.

It was a penalty all day long - he was in a dangerous area and Son put a stop to it - he doesn't have to break his leg for it to be a pen. Yes Moses made 100% sure that he went over but Son threw himself, out of control in a stupid area. If it had been up the other end we wouldn't even be discussing it.

Good for you.

Is this meant to be a sensible post? Do you have any idea of context? Pep had a team with some of the best players in a generation; Conte managed Juventus; Simeone had the likes of Costa and Griezmann, and hasn't had to weed out some shits; and Klopp was in a league where there's only one other major team at present, plus he has amazing fans. Poch has to make do with the likes of you. Poch managed Espanyol and Southampton before us. Ferguson and others think he's brilliant. I think their opinion counts a hell of a lot than your ever poor offerings.

Good for you.

Next weeks lottery numbers?

Imagine the feeling if it was 3-2 and Kane's freekick was 2 inches away from going in
