While we really took it to the extreme last night, I'd rather we were all out lunatics than the chicken shits we have so often been in years gone by.

I'd be lying if I said part of me didn't love it though. Reminded me of Keane and Vieira wanting to kill each other all those years ago - that's disappeared from this league completely. Hopefully we'll learn to control our aggression in future, but this Spurs side really, really give a shit.

Love the video of the fouls. Absolutely love it.
Most of it was what you'd expect from a big derby game. There was some pwoper nawty stuff going on (Mousa's gouge mainly) but mistimed big tackles? Meh.

What there was was some fucking ludicrous commentary (after the Mason booking - "a red card in itself" - wtf?) and a complete failure to say anything about Costa attempting to elbow then headbutt Jan.

When do we find out if we face any punishment over last nights match
I cant wait to see the carnage and the aftermath. By the sounds of it, the linesman or ref saw the 3 incidents in question(Lamela, Dembele and Walker), so presumably they should all be reported and no ban should be handed down. Of course, Clattenburg let it all happen with his refusal to call any fouls on Chelsea so I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt report any of the 3 questionable incidents.

Poch might get a touchline ban for going onto the pitch to break up Rose and Willian. Something might happen for the alleged push on Hiddink at the end. But Im really intrigued by this tunnel bust up. Fabregras starting shit in the tunnel with one of our coaches and punching our players in the nuts? That scum bag should get a hefty ban for it.

Apols if already discussed but has anybody got or seen a vine of the push on Kane immediately before the Hazard 'equaliser'

No replay whatsoever last night and cut out of MOTD of course
There were a number of so-called tackles on our players that were let go by Clattenburg. I don't trust a man who has false hair.

I think Kane was taken out three times in the final third, within the first 15-20 minutes. Every time we attacked, they got away with a late challenge or blocking off a key run. Perhaps the ref was right to play advantage some of the time (definitely not every time), but he should have been pulling the Chelsea players back for a yellow card.

It really bugs me that refs are more lenient in the early stages of games (just like it makes no sense that something is a foul on the halfway line but not in the penalty area). I appreciate that refs don't want to ruin games by giving out too many cards, but surely clamping down early on would actually improve the quality of the game.
This contributed to the Dele Alli situation as well. If Yacob had got the booking he deserved it would not have happened.

Chelsea captain John Terry, though, said he hoped no action would be taken.

"Players are fighting for league titles, it's emotions," said the 35-year-old former England defender.

"It boiled over, let's not get silly and start banning people. It's a London derby and the fans want to see it."

That is in regards to what Dembele did and probably the only time he's said something decent.

At Stamford Bridge, those arseholes will have to make a guard of honour and will think that they have somehow won as well. So very JT. The fact is that they will have to give the honour to a man who they treated without grace. So very Chelsea.

Look at them all, Fabregash, Azpilicueta, Mikel and Cahill are all miles away from the incident but all sprint to the ref, as if he needed any more persuasion to give Chelsea everything. Pathetic. It's why football needs to introduce the same rule as rugby that only the captains are allowed to speak to the ref unless spoken to.

There's at least four of them manhandling the ref as well. Yet he doesn't seem to object to it.

That clip shows that Mikel got a Yellow Card - His second yellow and nothing came of it. How come?

What Terry said surprises me, but is welcome, and fair play to him, he gives it but he can take it aswell. We all love a bit of emotion and passion, and it did boil over, but exactly, that's what we all live for. Fire in the moment!

It's just a shame we couldn't channel it into something better than a 2-2 draw. Come on you Spurs! Fight til the death and let's fight on next season to finish 1st.

He doesn't object, because they know not to touch the skinned weasel on his head.

Both clubs charged with failing to control players and Dembele charged with violent conduct.

Absolute joke that Dembele is the only player charged with violent conduct. That they're trying to ban him for more than three games for an 'eye gouge' that was nowhere near Costa's eyes when Torres was let off for the exact same thing just shows how fucking useless the FA are.

Either; Terry's elbow, Costa's headbutt and bite, Mikel's slap and Fabregas' kick and trying to see just how big our balls are were all mentioned in the referee's report but the FA deemed none of them worthy of punishment (given that none of them received even yellow cards), or Clusterfuck saw them all but chose to do fuck all about them. If it's the latter then he has no place being an elite level referee. I fucking knew they'd bottle banning Terry for his last two Chelsea games. Fucking melts, the lot of them.
