You trying to stir things up on purpose?

Oh no, I'd never stir things up on purpose.

I just like to point out hypocrisy when I see it.

A Chelsea supporter, comes into a spurs forum, starts using words like hypocrisy and doesn't think they are stirring on purpose? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttttttttttttt!

I don't see why Chelsea supporters shouldn't post here. Or Arsenal, or United or anyone else. When there's a game on, i like the banter and rivalry. And for the most part, it is just that. We get digs in when we win, and vice versa. We're kind of locked away in here on our own, so some outside perspective is welcome.

As long as they don't win...then they can **** right off :P

Arsenal supporters are banned from this forum and cannot post. Outside perspective is fine but stirring just for the sake of it isn't. That's my own opinion. But banter about the match itself is great and would liven up the match day threads. It sure is a change from fighting amongst ourselves haha!

He kinda had a point. Probably every club has some scumbag supporters and we're no exception.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Match input, I do think it will be a score draw tonight, our last win was in 2012, thanks to a Gallas horror show.

Back to the actual nub of the matter lads :who will start?

Presumably the defence picks itself, Lloris, Walker, Rose, Toby & Verts.
Kane, Alli & Ericson are also nailed on.
That leaves three slots between Dembele, Dier, Wanyama and Son.

Considering Chelsea play three at the back, we will need some width and Son is the only player who can really do that until Lamela comes back so it looks like Dier to drop to the bench for me. He won't like that. I presume there won't be a bolter like N'Koudou. He hasn't done anything since his really promising cameo versus Monaco. With the way both teams play it could get very choked down the centre of the pitch and Poch might actually consider Trippier after the quality of his deliveries on Sunday but it would be a big surprise.

To echo a previous poster I hope Hazard gets the reception he deserves (within the rules of course!). Super player but to play for 45 minutes in a season says it all about his character.

It'll be Dembele and Dier I think.

Ormus · 04-01-2017 5:08pm

Yeah sounds about right. Son is frustrating, I'd be tempted to start Winks ahead of him, bring him on as sub if we need impact. He'll probably start though. The rest pretty much picks itself. I wouldn't mind a look at Trippy in midfield sometime, but now is not the time for experiments.

Drop Viktor?

Tough one but Dier was covering for Alderweireld. He will have the right motivation for this one considering last year. Hope he can keep in check.

Tight call though wouldnt be surprised if it was Wanyama either.

Charliebull · 04-01-2017 7:48pm

Victor will play, of that there is no doubt alongside dembele

Dier to come on to shore up the 3-0 lead (slaps head of table to knock some sense into it)

I'd actually start sissoko with erikson and Ali

Lloris (C), Walker, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Kane.

Subs: Vorm, Davies, Trippier, Wimmer, Sissoko, Winks, Son
