    It probably won't happen, but I'd love us to win this game, just to shut him up for a while....

    It should have been known as 'The Bottle at the Bridge'.

    That's bollocks!...

    To start with, both sides were involved in the naughty stuff. They were every bit as bad, if not worse in a lot of cases. Just more sneaky about it.

    Secondly, talk about going on as if they'd win the league!!...


    They 'achieved' a 2-2 draw at home to Spurs, ffs!....

    You are due a win after 25 years of bottling the Bridge. Anything can happen mate, Saturday is not a foregone conclusion

    Seriously, you lot have to be favourites the way we're playing.

    I hope we can get our first choice defense back together asap...but it won't happen this weekend,,.

    Chelsea were far worse but they are experts at being dirty. Spurs took the bait.

    Tbf you brought a DVD out when we drew 4-4 in 08, and you claimed that game cost us the title

    I think lack of creativity and pace is also your problem this season

    That game reminded me of the time Kevin Keegen had his 'I'll love it if we beat them' meltdown on the tele,
    after being baited by Fergie and then losing to Utd.

    We were **** against Monaco, but normally we do far better against teams that come to play.
    It's when they come to WHL and stick two lines of four with zero space between to work in that we struggle.

    It doesn't take the football Einsteins to work out Chelsea are favourites against the draw specialists.

    I'm going 2-1 (or maybe a dodgy last min pen for Spurs making it 2-2).


    I'm hoping for a repeat of 'The Bottle at the Bridge'.

    Getting the Popcorn in for this game. Can't wait to see the Spud defenders trying to kick the **** out of Hazard and co and watching that **** Costa wind them up. <diva>

    Well, if you want to be a 'big club' then teams will be defensive at Three Point Lane

    Yes, it's a problem for us..

    And, it's a few years since you got 3 points there. So you can cut the 3 point lane crap out!..

    Last 10 home PL matches v Chelsea - Spurs have won 4, drawn 5 lost one. I suppose 'Less than one point Lane' doesn't have such a ring

    Chelsea were useless for 80 years prior to the 1990s!
