    Chelsea FC

    The single most disgusting entity in football. Everything from the fans to the players to the owner. Don't see how any reasonable Spurs fan could dislike Arsenal more than Chelsea.

    Tired?

    Is it just me or do these players look very tired, especially in the last two league games vs West Brom and Newcastle? I know there was the Monaco result in the middle there, but there was a decent bit of rotation there and let's face it, Monaco didn't ever show up. I am really worried that the...

    Lamela's Rabona Not Nominated for the Puskas

    Not 100% sure if this should be here or general football, but whatever. Just saw that the list of 10 contenders was released a few days ago...I am in absolutely disbelief that Lamela did not make the final cut. I don't think it was the best goal as both Messi and Ball's were phenomenal in their...

    Ratings v Fiorentina (Home)

    Lloris - 6 - Not one of his convincing displays. Walker - 7.5 - Solid all night. Fazio - 7.5 - Handled Gomez no problem. Vertonghen - 7.5 Davies - 7 - Solid. Bentaleb - 8 - Very very good. Paulinho - 4 - Useless. Just doesn't play with any heart. Looks scared. Chadli - 4.5 - Has to score one...

    Ratings v Asteras Tripolis

    World Class Lamela Kane Capoue Great Lloris (red card aside) Davies Fazio Solid Townsend Adebayor Dembele Average Vertonghen Dier *both were at fault for a few failed offside traps, and Vertonghen was too eager to get forward all night. Chadli looked particularly good off the bench, Eriksen...

    Ratings v Forest

    Vorm - 7 - Couple good saves, very impressed with his distribution. Can't do anything about the goal. Naughton - 6 - Pretty solid. Verts - 6.5 - Good. Fazio - 6 - Slightly less good but these two have to be the starting CB partnership. Davies - 6 - Did alright defensively, worked hard. Would...

    Ratings v WBA

    Lloris - 6 - Terrible distribution and too risky on the ball today. Couple decent saves. Dier - 6 - Looked solid in defense, dangerous on set pieces, 1 or 2 good balls to the front as well. Kaboul - 2 - Calamitous. Chiriches - 1 - Even more calamitous. This has to be the worst CB partnership we...

    Player Watch: Ryan Mason

    Anyone know what's happening with him? Played very well throughout all of the US tour and I was expecting him to get some time in the season, thought Poch might have liked him. Is he injured, or are we looking to loan him or something?

    Ratings/Player Discussion vs Seattle

    Not bothering with a MOTM poll, too many players and most only played a half. Thread is more for ratings and player discussion based on the Seattle friendly. Friedel - 6.5 - Not at fault on the goals and made some important saves in the first half. Poor distribution though. Naughton - 5 - Not...

    The Kyle Naughton Appreciation Thread

    Well, I think this lad deserves a mention. He's been one of our best players over the past 3 or so months, and I for one am tired of the consistent slagging off he still gets - based on some performances months back where he gets thrust in on his weaker side in a totally new back 4 against...

    Ratings v Villa

    Very very good first half, very disappointed with the second half effort. Last game of the season, at home, and instead of trying to continue entertaining and making up for some other poor performances the team sits back and passes it sideways for 45 minutes. Lloris - 7 - Nothing to do...

    Chant for Holtby

    Anyone else think the home support should throw in some chants for Holtby at the game vs Fulham this weekend? He'll obviously be there or at least watching and I think it's only right the fans let him know he is still very appreciated/wanted here, and that we definitely want him back at the Lane...

    Team vs Benfica (Home)

    Big question is the center of defense. Not sure if Dawson is going to be fit, not sure if Kaboul can play (will we appeal the red card and have him play Sunday?)... Is Eriksen back? Rose? This is the last hope of the season though so I expect a good team, even if we do have the NLD after...

    No Overreactions Please

    Already seeing Sherwood out, "insert player" is shit, etc in the match thread. Get a fucking grip. First 15-20 minutes weren't good with City absolutely flying, admittedly. But we held out reasonably well and then grew into the game. Should have gone into HT 1-1, absolutely robbed. We've been...

    New Angle of Maradona Goal vs England

    Somehow a new angle of Maradona's amazing goal vs England emerged yesterday. Not only is it a fascinating angle of the player but it also confirms that it wasn't an own goal. Figured I'd post it despite the English audience, because this is maybe the best goal ever.

    MOTM + Ratings V Sunderland

    Lloris - 4 Walker - 8.5 Capoue - 7.5 Dawson - 7.5 Naughton - 7 Dembele - 8 Paulinho - 7.5 Lennon - 7 Holtby - 7.5 Chadli - 7 Defoe - 4 Sandro - 6 Townsend - 7.5 Sig - NET Great performance by the team and with someone other than Defoe up there it might have been 4 or 5. EDIT: WTF, didn't...

    Ratings vs Hull (Cup)

    Friedel - 6 - Ok the goal was a howler but should have been put in anyways, everything else he did pretty decent and saved 2 pens. Walker - 6.5 - Nonstop running, what an engine he has. Good in defense, still learning in attack but solid as hell. Kaboul - 8 - What a monster at the back. Verts -...

    Lennon

    He was just a passenger today, really just took Townsend's preffered position, and I don't think he did much vs Sheriff either. Surprised he made the starting lineup ahead of Chadli, Lamela, Eriksen, Sigurdsson...Not sure what the purpose was today but he offered nothing. I respect his defensive...
