I sure did. After the exciting performance against West Ham, I think it is worth watching Spurs. Lennon is a hot prospect. He ain't no Messi, but if he keeps this up he will be along the best youngsters. And he is not selfish.
Don't you think that Mourinho has not done a great job? Eventhough Drogba was hurt, he did not take him out. And Drogba was involved in those 2 goals. |

On that score, Yes but please don't be someone who want's JOL out because that is not the answer. The answer is, there is no answer. You just hope that Gardener will be more like King. You just wish Zokora had passed to Malbraque or Mido had headed the goal kick onto Defoe for a 3rd time. It's no one person's fault. We saw a cracking game. Spurs have won over many neutrals after this and a few of the previous games. Our goal tally has doubled in just three major games. This was a full strength Chelsea side. They didn't beat us. A draw is great. I'll be there on Monday week, ticket availability permitting. |

Firstly it was not a full strength Chelsea team. It was a cracking game, but you can’t just be happy with that, you boys had Chelsea on the ropes and couldn’t/didn’t find the knock out. It boils down to the fact that Berbatov and Lennon were taken off, in hindsight i can see why he would have taken Berbatov off, give Mido some match time, but Lennon was running the show, no Maka so he was running at the make shift defence causing problems. Poor sub on Jols part. Looking at it from a neutrals point of view i personally think Jol has taken Spurs as far as he can domestically. |

well it certainly was not a weak Chelsea side ...i can only see John Terry and Makelele missing from the line up . Chelsea: Cech, Ferreira , Essien, Carvalho, Ashley Cole , Diarra , Lampard, Robben, Ballack, Drogba, Shevchenko. Subs : Wright Phillips 34 , Boulahrouz 57 , Kalou 64 Subs Not Used : Cudicini, Bridge |

It wasn't a full-strength Spurs team either mate. We didn't have our 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice Captains for that game. Nor did we have Chimbo, who has really been a star for us this season in attacking terms, as well as defensively.
I agree with you that Jol doesn't always make the best substitutions; I hate to see us take up a defensive formation when we're in the lead because it invites pressure and we've buckled under that pressure on many occasions over the last 2 years. However, I don't think that his work at Spurs is done. I have a lot of respect for Jol and think that he's capable of creating a team that can challenge for a Champs League spot over the coming seasons. |

mont don’t get me wrong i respect and like Jol very much, but his substitution have been very peculiar.
As you’re a Spurs so you will know better then me if he still has what it to leads in the CL. It just that if it were me I wouldn’t have Lennon of definitely |

When analysing his substitutions for this game you have to look at our fixture list at the moment too mate, it is beyond congested. I think he made a mistake too, but I understand why he made it. |

JT is starting, Essien might start.
I think we'll win tonight, I can't see Mourinho screwing it up. I also hope we'll have United in the final |

Expected result really, we werent going to surprise them twice. Now we can focus on the UEFA Cup and our league position.
Ugly scenes at the end with the Spurs fan running on and taking a swing at Lampard, if you could really call the limp wristed arm movement a punch. No need for the Chelsea players to put the boot into him on the ground tho, scummy [beep!]. Hope they get the book thrown at them for that. |

Agree with the part about the Chelsea players all jumping the Spurs fan (if you can call him a fan) but unfortunately they will get praised for it just like Ian Walker did when he sorted out the Leicester City fan a few years ago..
Spurs were unlucky,2 class goals from Chelsea stunned them when they were on top,it's a shame because they deserved it after their superb performance at Stamford Bridge,if they carry on playing attractive football like this i'm gonna suddenly start having a soft spot for them lol,i love the football they are producing at the moment.. |

Yep before this game, on this seasons form, Head to head, Berbatov shone over Shevchenko. The Joke was Chelsea wanted Berbatov and they'd offer £25,000,000 and thow in Shevchenko.
hmmm Shevchenko hasn't scored as important a goal in his Chelsea career. Tell you what, We'll buy him for £30,000,000 and throw in Defoe When I heard '3 - 1, and you f***ed it up' from the Chelsea fans I just smiled and agreed. Sat in Block A, East Upper, I would have rather saved my money. This game shouldn't have been necessary. I've been doing this too long. The lack of my posts here are all the evidence I need. |

Good point Jono I think what we saw was disgusting at the end there and not part of the game but you're right. The Stewards had control and these over-payed footballers showed just how thugish they are. Hopefully there are kids out there who don't look up to lamps, terry or Whoever brings the game into disrepute. Not big, not clever. |
