Just the type of player that would get one against us. We're quite generaous to teams/managers/players that are going through a tough time.

Spurs will definitely have a player sent off.

Quality ball control from the West Ham fans there.

The clue is in the thread title captain exclusion.
It's the only game on a Friday night and it's not just spurs fans who are following the title run in

I dunno looks like it's not their day, they have been on a long winning streak so it's got to end someday

I am not a Spurs fan but the sad thing is that this result will fuel the 1diots that call Spurs bottlers for another year! It couldn't be anyway further to the truth the way this season panned out!

EXACTLY !!!! So why is there not a spurs thread in the main soccer forum ? We ALL are following the league not just Liverpool/ Utd/ Chelsea etc and reading bits of these threads when warranted are the lifeblood of the forum .
Having a GENERAL pl thread is exactly that , for general / non specific/ not club based opinions.
I'd loved to have followed a match/ spurs thread as a football fan but .....

Ive uncles that are Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Leeds and Man Utd fans, lots of links to England.

Chelsea seemed to annoy him the most, hence that was the team for me to pick. :pac:

The lack of urgency from Spurs in general tonight is quite strange.They didn't play like a team fighting for their lives in a title race, Kane and Alli were basically non existent tonight.

Cantona's Collars

That's the title race confirmed as over now.

Dunno why they look so deflated, title was gone long before tonight.

Getting quite enjoyable wrecking Spurs' title hopes....

Easy money West ham were a huge price.

Agent Coulson

Leicester

I have to say there is something great seeing Alli with a big sad head on him.

SlickRic

I can't explain adequately just how bad that was from Spurs.

They couldn't even handle the pressure of trying to get within a point of Chelsea.

Getting into the position to challenge is one thing. It means you're a very good team. To actually handle the pressure of potentially getting to the top when it matters is a whole other story.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Hard luck spurs, nowt left in the tank.

The title race if there was one ended last week when Everton rolled over. 4 point deficate was never going to be overtaken in 3 games in such a poor league.

Ya totally agree with you this bottler expression seems to be thrown out anytime a team loses a big game lately.

Last week was the end probably but you never know.Get within 1 point and then there is a bit of pressure on Chelsea.

Spurs players mentioned during the week about having a great chance to put pressure on Chelsea and yet they didn't turn up tonight.

Manchester United

West ham won their cup final!

Well deserved but spurs can hold their heads high on another night we would have scored 3

Still our best finish in the pl era and I would fancy us to hammer Manu in our last dead rubber game

In fairness they handled the pressure of beating arsenal on Sunday after watching Chelsea win. The premier league is so tough, you can perform at 100% every week.

Do you have something you want to post here! Or are you just posting to tell others what can be posted and not posted!!

Most matches don't have match threads, I couldn't give a flying fcku if Spurs fans want to have a secret thread all to their own! Its a Friday night Premier League game between 2 Premier League teams, few Premier League fans enjoying the Premier League game and commenting in the Premier League thread!

Th excessive praise of Spurs is getting tiresome also.

They received ridiculous amounts of praise despite not having won anything and flopping in europe.

They had a great chance to win the league last year and didn't take advantage and they drew way too many games at the start of this season.they aren't going to have too many more chances of winning it as the league is not going to be as poor as it has been in the last couple of seasons.

Tonight was abject.

It wasn't a bottle job, but it was the one time they could really ask a question of Chelsea by getting close, and they failed.

GavRedKing

Chelsea

They kept us very honest but the win against Everton from us last week was huge.

We only need 2 wins and we play Bor and WBA before Spurs play again.

Looking like its all but done now after that.

In fairness West Ham should have scored at least 2 themselves. Calleri should easily have scored from six yards.
I doubt he was holding his head high after that.

MonkieSocks

Title race over,

Can't see Chelsea droping many points in their last few games.

As a Spurs fan, I can't get my head around that performance.

Sure West Ham were excellent in defence, but they always posed a threat throughout the game.

Why Pooch started with Dembele on the bench, I dunno

No creativity in midfield,

Alli-Sonn-Kane very poor.

Walker is a very poor defender, Any time I see him play It's like a Christmas Pantomine...........I keep hearing " he's behind you"

Well done The "Happy Hammers"

Congrats Chelsea

Chelsea have Boro, West Brom & Watford. Bar Sunderland you couldn't handpick a better 3 to play. One is a turkey & the other 2 are on the beach already.
Spurs were saying that but really Everton was the last hard fixture for Chelsea. 9 wins on the bounce it was always going to be hard to keep that going to 12.
