Yeah lets be like Liverpool and concede late on by trying to score in the 93rd minute....great idea.
Maybe you didn't read the bit where i said last night was justified, im more concerned that we may start doing it at 2-0 or 3-0 up, it's cheap and not the Spurs way. Dont worry i only expect you to read half this comment.

What a weird thing to have an issue with.
Not the Spurs way?...lol.
It's called game management, look it up if you haven't heard of it.

Just been looking at some of the comments by eagle fans I had to laugh at this one.

After reflecting on the match, Spurs won because of a referee, an injury & a flukey longshot which Hennessey should have saved. #CPFC

Why is it a weird thing to have an issue with? I fucking hate it.

Hiding in the corners like cowards. Arsenal have done it for years.

As i said it was probably jusified last night, i just don't want it to become a habit.

Oh and thanks for the heads up about game managment thats very helpful.

Because we can worry about that sort of thing when we have a few more pots in the cabinet.
Couldn't care less how we win right now.

If he was not on a yellow already he would have gotten a 2nd yellow. That tackle was all man and pretty tough (although not malicious).
You might want to rewrite the first sentence, but I think I know what you meant to write.

I suspect people would have viewed it less seriously. Our current position has a lot of panties in a bunch. Anyway you win some you lose some.
I think we have a right to have ants in our pants considering this is decades worth of work coming to fruition. You do sound calm for the run in sir !

I enjoyed Sissoko and Eriksen shithousing their way through three minutes of stopage time almost as much as the goal.

It was elite level shithousary, was beautiful to watch.

Especially loved Eriksen whining to the ref for ages about the Palace players standing an inch closer to the ball than they were allowed to. It was like Chelsea under Mourinho.

One of the better points I read about the game was that Palace tried to get physical against Arsenal, and slaughtered them. They tried the same with Spurs and got beat up.

I do love that we have that in our tool box.

Not much surprise that in a physical battle between palace and arsenal that the latter lost, arsenal have more utter pussies in their squad than any other club.

"Decimate" actually means "to kill one in ten". Not a lot of people know that ;).

People use it when they really mean "devastate".

Unless you really wanted us to kill 10% of the Arsenal squad...?

Sounds like a plan.

Doesn't it come from the Romans who used to execute 1 in 10 of their captured prisoners? Or was it 1 in 10 of their own soldiers if they got routed?

I think it was originally a punishment meted out to mutinous Roman soldiers. They'd kill 1 in 10 of the regiment or battalion or legion or whatever.
