SPURS 2 CHELSEA 1: GUTLESS BLUES HAND RIVALS NEW HOPE
By dixon9
April 17 2010
A lacklustre performance against a recently rejuvenated Spurs side saw us depressingly put what seemed like justified optimism for the title in new danger. We lacked drive, belief and penetration whilst Spurs appeared far too relaxed and comfortable.
Sure, we were down to 10 men after another White Hart Lane red card for Terry but we were already 2 goals down at that stage.
So who were the culprits? Well Terry hadn’t covered himself in glory with the handball and the red card but it would be unfair to single him out – practically the whole side was poor. The only exceptions I can think of were Deco who displayed some flashes of invention, Malouda who at least tried to get into the box with the ball at his feet and Cech who pulled off some absolutely first class saves.
Spurs didn’t really have an outstanding candidate for man of the match themselves, they were efficient rather than classy and it was only Bale and possibly Modric who stood out for them.
Indeed it seemed like the match was lost through psychology rather than football ability. Spurs simply maintained a calm disposition whilst we sank into a depression leaving a team bereft of ideas on the pitch.
It really is down to Ancelotti and the playing staff to turn this around. We can still win the title and who knows, the sky could look much bluer and brighter next weekend. Nevertheless, we have at least one difficult fixture to come at Anfield whilst we hope that our old rivals from north London can do to Man Utd what they have already done to Arsenal and ourselves.
It’s going to be a nail-biting end to the season.

Think you should look up the meaning of the word "slaughtered". You won by 1 goal (there´s a clue to what I´m talking about in case you don´t realise - mind you, you probably don´t even know what a dictionary is you nonce).

What game were you watching? Dawson was immense at the back. Surely, more of a real defender than Terry. Huddlestone was a rock. Gomes dealt with your crosses and your 2 decent chances. Ekotto forced Ancelotti to withdraw Joe Cole.
So Dawson will be in the England squad according to you then?
I rate Huddlestone - but you lot don´t - you tried to sell him last summer.
Joe Cole has been withdrawn nearly every game recently.

Bale, Bale, Bale, ...
Man of the Match without doubt!
Despite Chelsea's massive squad and wealth advantage. They could not match Spurs today anywhere on the pitch. Spurs also had Palacios, King and Lennon all out.
Stop abusing each other - watch the hightlights - Spurs hammered Chelsea today in all but the score.
