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.

i reckon i will be a shock with Spurs winning 2-1

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..

Only need to get knocked out of the UEFA Cup now. Come on Spurs, you can lose!

when will somebody be able to actually hit Frank Lampard , thats the second person who has aimed a punch at him and missed ....Adebayor and now this Spurs fan ..

Great result for the Chels, think Spurs will be a strong force next year. Again two class goals, thought Sheva played really well along with Diarra. Jt at the back looked solid as ever. Feel a bit sorry for Spurs cause they did do well

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.

Firstly I didn’t see the watch the Spurs game as i was watching the Manchester United game, but I saw the pictures of the fan trying to punch lamps, but what this about the players kicking him, that’s just not on. What the fan did was wrong but come on kicking a man when he is down something needs to be done....but like the Ledley King incident Terry is involved and nothing will happen.

Now on to the football, I said it before Spurs had their chance and blew it, 3-1 up and u take of two of your main threats in Berbetov and Lennon (was running the show in the first game), there wasn’t a chance in hell that Spurs would have won the second game.

Why did cavralho not get sent off, for his foul on berbi I will never know?

As you Yids have been saying at least you can concentrate on the UEFA, just don’t do as your neighbour and get knocked out and have nothing to play for, for the rest of the season.
