  • AttemptImpossible111👤3a day ago

    Ange made an absolute fool of himself with that interview

  • PuzzleheadedGrade116👤-7a day ago

    That reporter is a prick fishing for soundbites, Ange handled it but fuck me what has journalism come to when your trying to provoke an outburst from a manager for clicks

    • AttemptImpossible111👤3a day ago

      Was a clear and obvious error. Ange looked silly

  • jcollywobble3a day ago

    Ange meltdown again

  • FastenedCarrot1a day ago

    I actually think that was much better from us overall but just lost some legs a bit as each half went on. Probably because a few key players are either getting tired or are just coming back from injury. Was a bit more controlled too, although some of that was Spurs just being shit.

  • unvrlstn3a day ago

    What happened to the EPL??? It doesn’t even feel like I just watched a football match.

    • SalmonNgiri3a day ago

      I can absolutely see Firoentina or Betis taking the conference league as well if we show up like this.

      • unvrlstn-3a day ago

        Yeah brother you show up like that and either one of those teams sends you home early. 3-0, 0-3. Its that simple.

  • OllyHR1a day ago

    Boredom at the bridge. Mind you its normally a cracker

  • SalmonNgiri8a day ago

    Us being 4th should be a cause for grave concerns for the overall quality of the league lmao

    • unvrlstn-2a day ago

      Yeah my point exactly….talk about poverty league

  • SalmonNgiri4a day ago

    That fan giving the team both barrels while they just awkwardly clap lol

  • jbi1000👤3a day ago

    That moment with Porro screaming and the silly foul from Johnson right after is kind of emblematic of Spurs vs Chelsea over the last 30-40 years and shows why this is one of the most one-sided derbies in the world in that time.

    Spurs just never seem to handle the emotion of this derby as well as their opponent. Look back to last season and the two stupid reds from two stupid challenges in the game at Tottenham.

    Like Chelsea get fired up in these matches too but it’s controlled aggression for the most part. Spurs just seem to lose it way to easily.

  • FastenedCarrot1a day ago

    Is Caicedo safe from yellow card accumulation yet?

  • FishUK_Harp8a day ago

    I particularly didn’t like the part where we were a goal down with seconds left and didn’t even really try to get it in the opponents half, let alone score.

    • Affectionate_Pay73953a day ago

      Even as a Chelsea fan it was maddening seeing your players calmly pass the ball around at the half way line instead of doing everything they can to score

  • rizz0therat3a day ago

    One win in my lifetime so not a massive surprise, a dead rubber.

  • Undesirable_11👤0a day ago

    Chelsea parking the bus was definitely not in my bingo card

  • jMS_447a day ago

    Awful game, we are still shite, but Spurs are still our bitches.

  • Imaginary-Future85013a day ago

    Spurs so so bad

  • [deleted]👤1a day ago

    • FastenedCarrot3a day ago

      Did we win the mid-off by winning or did Spurs by being more mid?

  • RedWeasel20003a day ago

    Reece James trying to end it like a rugby game

  • zi763a day ago

    Four in a row over Spurs

  • Affectionate_Pay73954a day ago

    Has the ref had a fight with his partner? He really did not want that game to end

    • External-Piccolo-626👤0a day ago

      It was minimum of 13 then extra on top. Should have been at least 2 more.

  • GoalIsGood1a day ago

    Is Levy going to buy Tel really?

    • C1138BP👤6a day ago

      You think Tel wants to stay? Lmao

  • FastenedCarrot4a day ago

    Noni celebrating winning the foul lol. There’s more than one reason we’ve missed him.

  • CheedoTheFragile👤-10a day ago

    Chelsea players flopping for 95 mins then park the bus. Brave victory.

    • Waste_Discount_497a day ago

      The better team won the game. It’s not rocket science. Spurs were tragic.

    • Cruxed12a day ago

      Spurs were of course not doing the same thing..

  • SalmonNgiri9a day ago

    Even in the depths of our shit spells, we didn’t lose to this lot at home lol

  • SirBarkington1a day ago

    what an awful ref performance

  • clickheacl👤6a day ago

    12 minutes of walking…

  • C1138BP👤3a day ago

    Is this loss #15 for spurs?

    • DizzyForDarwizzy👤5a day ago

      16

      • C1138BP👤3a day ago

        Jesus Christ. Really?

  • SalmonNgiri3a day ago

    Never in doubt

  • TheDawiWhisperer👤4a day ago

    Any player that willingly transfers to Spurs must be off their head at this point

  • Soren_Camus19057a day ago

    #EVERYWHERE THEY GOOOOOOOOOOO

  • bartabax7a day ago

    haramball has returned to the Chelsea-Spurs fixture

  • ObligationMission👤3a day ago

    It’s like they want to lose wtf are they doing

  • Avirup08👤5a day ago

    Let’s all agree that Son is completely washed. Good game yall!

  • keyWin-10a day ago

    What does Solanke do

    • Familiar-Mix-2435a day ago

      Tries his best?

      • keyWin-2a day ago

        God loves a trier

        • Familiar-Mix-2431a day ago

          Lmao. I actually don’t think he’s that bad, Tottenham are just awful and he gets zero service.

  • Affectionate_Pay739519a day ago

    Surely Ange is gone at the end of the season

    • jcollywobble4a day ago

      How the fuck has he still got a job, spurs are utter shite

    • CarnivalSorts8a day ago

      He’s gone as soon as we’re out of Europa.

      • throwaway7292632013a day ago

        Or 5 minutes before the final if you make it that far.

    • flemva3a day ago

      If we were decent we could have the job done tonight .

  • qwertyell22a day ago

    Credit to Spurs for somehow making 12 minutes of injury time fly by without causing any trouble.

    • Affectionate_Pay739510a day ago

      I’ve never seen a team down by 1 goal be so passive, like where is the urgency??

  • No_Version2728👤3a day ago

    second half was much better than the first, but stoppage time has been dire

    spurs look like some second division team, unable to even create chances

  • youknowwtfisgoingon3a day ago

    Why are Chelsea being punished for VAR taking 12 mins ffs

  • Ahm3DD6a day ago

    Tel looks awful, what happened to him?

    • lookitsjustin6a day ago

      Moved to Spurs.

    • VladTheImpaler2914a day ago

      Tottenham.

  • SirBarkington5a day ago

    is Tel playing LWB wtf is this position

  • VladTheImpaler295a day ago

    Johnson booked for being from the wrong part of The UK and, therefore, not being able to be referred to as Brennan “The Jock” Johnson.

    • LizardMister👤1a day ago

      If he went and joined former Spurs icon Harry Kane at Munich he could be rebranded as Bayern Johnson

  • giggity30008a day ago

    Bentancur somehow managed to get 100 minutes of playing time while dropping a 110 performance

    • Swisha-2a day ago

      You can say that for everyone of our players except Bergval and Madders who we subbed off.

  • SalmonNgiri2a day ago

    I wouldn’t say leaking goals lol its not like we are getting demolished everywhere we go

  • ShatPumba👤1a day ago

    This fixture is always fiesty

  • Horror-Click1467👤-1a day ago

    The scoreline is fitting considering Chelsea are a less shittier version of Spurs.

  • youknowwtfisgoingon3a day ago

    Maresca man, invites pressure for 12 minutes for no reason. Just play like we were all game

  • lookitsjustin9a day ago

    You can kick the ball away as long as it bounces back your direction quickly.

    takes notes

    • AbsoluteGarbageTakes6a day ago

      hey man you can waste all the time you like when you’re losing

  • [deleted]👤14a day ago

    [deleted]

    • rizz0therat1a day ago

      he banged it off the board straight back to himself?

  • flemva3a day ago

    Where are your balls Pawson? Show us your balls.

  • SalmonNgiri5a day ago

    Johnson remembered he was booked and gave it the tamest prod lmao

  • M0D3Z🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿10a day ago

    I expect a season end apology from the PGMOL to all clubs and fans for their incompetence.

    • throwaway7292632011a day ago

      And I expect Sydney Sweeney to call me in a minutes time. Some things won’t happen.

      • M0D3Z🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿5a day ago

        Shes still trying to find your number. Has to be the only reason it hasn’t happened.

        • throwaway729263201a day ago

          Unrelated but you wouldn’t know if she works for a car warranty company nowadays?

          • M0D3Z🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿1a day ago

            Idk, depends on the outfit

        • throwaway729263203a day ago

          Just getting a call now I’ll let you know.

    • Sangwiny3a day ago

      Will they deliver said apology on a flying pig too?

  • EunhasThighs👤7a day ago

    I can’t believe how much spurs spent on johnson and solanke

    • VladTheImpaler291a day ago

      I can.

  • myyrc0a day ago

    now wonder they need so many spare players, these ones break when wind touches them

  • Bulky_Shepard2a day ago

    Commentators don’t seem to understand that he knew it would bounce right back to him.

  • Zlevi041a day ago

    Surely Sanchez gets booked this time right

  • Da_Malpais_Legate1a day ago

    I’m shocked that they gave that as a corner

  • ACMomani👤7a day ago

    Another day another incompetent officials

  • flemva6a day ago

    Porro you must accept the incompetence and thank them afterwards

  • AaronStudAVFC4a day ago

    A better team than this almost certainly punishes marescas cowardly subs tonight.

    • Critzor6a day ago

      Cowardly subs… As if no manager has made defensive subs in the past to hold onto a lead, especially when the form is poor. lmao.

    • SirBarkington1a day ago

      It’s cowardly to see out a game now? Not every game needs to be 3+ goals going balls to the walls for 90+ minutes

      • AaronStudAVFC-1a day ago

        You’ve controlled the game for 90 minutes and then removed every single attacking option you have so all your team can do is sit back and hope they can soak up the pressure. There’s a middle point between “balls to the wall” and a formation of 10-0-0.

        • fluryfury1214_1214👤1a day ago

          Oh please, shut it. If he’d done as you say and went on to concede, you’d be here still slating him.

  • Pilvikas8a day ago

    there’s no way Ange still has the dressing room, seeing our players reactions to stuff happening on the field

  • Zlevi042a day ago

    I still maintain that it would be funny if they equalized

  • LizardMister👤1a day ago

    Porro is scientifically a divvy lala

  • -RedLink-8a day ago

    Lmao these refs are so dogshit. 

  • Sangwiny2a day ago

    Hide your flag, hide your nose. Can’t have shit on in football anymore.

  • lookitsjustin6a day ago

    Mmm, if the PGMOL made any fucking sense at all, Porro should be sent off. Slapping the lino’s flag away and getting in their face screaming.

  • Mitch_Itfc5a day ago

    What does Solanke even do, doesn’t even start scraps

  • Soren_Camus19059a day ago

    The officiating today makes me want to just give up on watching football, I can’t go to the Bridge anymore and this is just a horrific product. And it’s somehow getting worse!

  • FastenedCarrot6a day ago

    Udogie has made a few mistakes and gotte lucky but he’s also done a very good job of containing both Neto and Noni. One of Spur’s better performers today overall.

  • TheNonExpert👤7a day ago

    Is the lino blind? lol

  • qwertyell13a day ago

    Another official with defective eyes.

    Where do they find these muppets?

  • Jad94👤10a day ago

    Insane you can be that shit at your job

  • fegelman9a day ago

    Comically bad decision followed by comically over the top histrionics

  • Familiar-Mix-2439a day ago

    Oh fucking hell that’s clearly a corner

    • PeachesPeachesILY0a day ago

      This match has been biased towards Chelsea. Even the commentators

      • arc4angel1003a day ago

        Demonstrated by the very close offside decision to disallow the goal and more bookings for Chelsea players…

        • FastenedCarrot2a day ago

          Also the possible red not being given as such. Twice now in the Prem a yellow has been given to a player after a VAR review and both have been against Chelsea.

      • Jad94👤6a day ago

        Incompetence isn’t bias always

  • Leuchtrakete-2a day ago

    This just in: Pedro Porro is a miserable cunt.

    • ChaosTB👤0a day ago

      Ah yes, getting mad at a linesmen that can’t do his job, what a bad person

  • Mediocre_Nova0a day ago

    And Chelsea fans are actually saying they’re not getting help lol

  • jMS_441a day ago

    it’s ok guys, we got this, no stress

  • bensu880a day ago

    Will Tottenham be relegated this season?

    • Pilvikas2a day ago

      mathematically almost impossible

    • C1138BP👤4a day ago

      Scriptwriters aren’t thatttt good

  • TremendousCoisty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿3a day ago

    So many Spurs players are hiding from receiving the ball?? All of them.

    • Snort_Line🇲🇦1a day ago

      Its Angeball. This isn’t normal.

  • dispelthemyth👤0a day ago

    Being right doesn’t mean you can be a cunt

  • F4ISAL3a day ago

    Yh the reffing has been terrible all round

    • Swisha--6a day ago

      Me when the reffing has clearly been in my favour all game.

  • zi766a day ago

    Porro booked

    Linesman was wrong, though

  • SalmonNgiri2a day ago

    lmao

  • manofcult13a day ago

    some of these officials really need some paycuts

  • ToadBoehly👤-6a day ago

    Why is he mad. Still going to lose even with a corner 

  • SwitchHitter173a day ago

    Screaming in someone’s face just makes you look like an immature dickhead.

  • throwaway729263202a day ago

    What do you expect as Porro, yeah screaming right into his face will make him change his mind.

  • Lazinessextreme5a day ago

    As a spurs fan how do you even tune in for this cursed fixture

  • C1138BP👤8a day ago

    Come Porro get that second yellow in quick succession. Do it

  • AbsoluteGarbageTakes1a day ago

    they pulled the exact same one on Neto on the other side lol

  • Sherringdom10a day ago

    Yeah I mean that was a fucking obvious corner Lino what were you looking at

  • GaleWolf21👤6a day ago

    Woo, another player booked for being right.

  • afarensiis11a day ago

    He’s right, but jesus christ Pedro lmao

  • DizzyForDarwizzy👤11a day ago

    How does the lino not see that

  • Affectionate_Pay73953a day ago

    Genuinely what the fuck were those subs by Maresca

    • SalmonNgiri1a day ago

      He seems to have gone for the “guys who can run around and be busy” options

    • Critzor3a day ago

      Defensive subs mate. If you’ve been following chelsea for a while, you’d be very familiar about the concept.

      • FastenedCarrot1a day ago

        Also protecting certain players and getting minutes for others. Pretty good subs all things considered imo.

  • nolesfan20115a day ago

    Tottenham just non competitive today, lifeless squad, they should move out anyone they can at this point

    • sondergaard9131a day ago

      Nah, mate. Son is their captain, therefore he can’t leave, because it’s impossible to have another captain.

    • Ancient_Lettuce68212a day ago

      Just today?

  • Go_Beers0a day ago

    I still don’t understand how we got 12 minutes

    • rizz0therat3a day ago

      there was at least 9 minutes of VAR in this half

    • SirBarkington7a day ago

      the two var checks that took like 12 minutes?

  • Confident-Option-246👤8a day ago

    Donothing Solanke 65 million off of one good season yeesh.

    • sondergaard9131a day ago

      I know at least 3 better strikers in Brazil 10% of that price.

    • TremendousCoisty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2a day ago

      He had far better service at Bournemouth

  • CoolstorySteve11a day ago

    Sanchez not being given a yellow for timewasting is crazy, he’s taking absolutely forever on these kicks

    • SirBarkington6a day ago

      ref waved him on twice lmao

  • SalmonNgiri3a day ago

    How did 4 players just let that ball bounce lmao

  • Ahm3DD1a day ago

    Tel on loan or he’s bought?

    • CarnivalSorts3a day ago

      Loan, hasn’t done anything to justify a purchase in the summer yet.

      • Pilvikas1a day ago

        definitely not for 60m

  • LizardMister👤2a day ago

    Son should definitely have reacted and gone near post when that ball went wide, he genuinely looks completely washed

  • Avirup08👤2a day ago

    Go sanchez go go gooooo! Aahahaha he’s barely keeping it together, but it’s working!!!

  • hihepo1👤12a day ago

    I hope Sky have the Ange cupped ears to the away end footage.

    • C1138BP👤4a day ago

      I need to see it

  • bartabax14a day ago

    every time i see KDH written my brain goes to Kevin de Hruyne

    • SirBarkington2a day ago

      same

  • Affectionate_Pay73956a day ago

    If we concede now its entirely on maresca being a fucking coward subbing off attackers

    • Critzor2a day ago

      Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

      • SirBarkington1a day ago

        literally how does it make sense that “if we put on defenders and concede its on Maresca.” like what?

        • Critzor2a day ago

          They’ll twist this shit to suit their agenda… If he brought on attackers and we concede, this same lot will whine about Maresca being naive and having no game management.

  • CerealBreadWinner6a day ago

    Literally nothing good can come from us substituting all our attacking players, why has he done this?

  • FastenedCarrot1a day ago

    Why does it look like Jimmy and the girl are not talking to one another? There’s no one else around either of them but they both look like they’re angled just slight away from one another

  • Stop_Gettin_Cunty1a day ago

    Did Jimmy Floyd grow out his hair, why does he look different?

    • clickheacl👤2a day ago

      Looks more Idris elba than Idris elba himself.

  • No_Version2728👤6a day ago

    are you telling me solankie has been on the pitch for 93 minutes now? first time i am noticing him

  • jMS_442a day ago

    12 minutes of added time and Maresca decided to do a full retreat with this subs

  • SIotball4a day ago

    Solanke might be one of the worst striker signings I’ve seen in awhile

  • C1138BP👤4a day ago

    Has Solanke done anything today?

    • jMS_441a day ago

      His touch map literally shown he was everywhere EXCEPT for our box

  • Chip_Dangercock1a day ago

    Yeah man sub off every single goal threat, this cannot possibly go wrong

  • LizardMister👤4a day ago

    Poor old Poch out in Argentina somewhere on a horse with a beard looking sad and noble

    • HaggisTheCow👤2a day ago

      Probably cos of somehow turning the USA into the fourth worst team in a three team confederation

      • LizardMister👤2a day ago

        No he’s looking down into the crater of an extinct volcano and saying woah to his horse

    • VladTheImpaler292a day ago

      That fat little pudding is stateside, having the time of his life. Dunkin’ Donuts for breakfast, nine days a week.

      • LizardMister👤1a day ago

        No he’s talking to an old toothless Indian in a poncho about energy and chewing on a coca leaf

  • Soren_Camus19052a day ago

    Graeme Le Saux is seems miserable these days

  • zi761a day ago

    JFH here

  • mooglepanda7a day ago

    Hasselbaink what a guy. Absolutely miss having a striker like that. Him and Gudjohnsen are still one of my favourite pairings.

    • Modnal2a day ago

      Hasselbaink used to be such a good litmus test to know which Chelsea fans were proper ones and which ones were glory hunters since they had little to no knowledge about him

    • SirBarkington2a day ago

      if they played under Ancelotti they would have broken so many records.

  • imsahoamtiskaw3a day ago

    I hope this match ends 4-4

  • Soren_Camus19053a day ago

    Now THERE’S a player!
