This is the game they put on the pay only premium channel in the US. Well, to hell with that. Always another way.  |

Watching Timo Warner is painful and embarrassing. No matter how hard he tries, the gods of English football have turned their backs on him

Fair play to Chelsea. The two teams were pretty even in the first exhilarating half but Spurs were totally outclassed in the second. It's an exciting time to be a Blues fan and I rather envy our friend staggerstag that! |

The horror was real when I read that Kepa was to be stationed between the sticks - Mendy's injury I didn't know about. He spilled the ball in front of goal early doors and if you were watching it live you'd fear a bagful of Tottenham goals. But as I drool over the meagre highlights I see that Tottenham never really posed more than a couple of threats to him. The news on Mendy is that there is no set return date which is not good - let's see if Kepa can show us something next week versus City, that's Man not Norwich.
I also note that for the 2nd consecutive game Harold Kane is bottom of the Spurs player ratings following on from the game v Rennes in which he scored a paltry 3.76 out of 10, almost a whole point behind 2nd worst performer Doherty. Versus Chelsea, he scored an even lower rating of 3.52, propping up 2nd worst Sánchez.
I recently asked the Spurs head physio Geoff Scott why Kane is useless without Son and he put the phone down on me, but I might as well not have asked, because even with Son alongside him he's looking less and less threatening anyway. Let's see if he can fire himself up for the north London set-to on Sunday or will Arsenal's ongoing resurgence foil him?

It's an exciting time to be a Blues fan and I rather envy our friend staggerstag that! Thank you. I suppose like any fan, when you've spent years queueing up in quite appalling conditions, shunted through the pre-digital pre-ETicket turnstiles by grumpy coppers who hated working Saturdays, squeezing your nose as you passed the slum-like outside 'toilets' (really just squalid grey brick sheds with no lighting and no washing/drying facilities, stinking and awash with other people's p*ss and sh*t) - getting crushed into crash barriers on the terraces whenever you potted, threatened week in week out by rival thugs roaming freely in your stand, barely able to afford even a pallid grease-ridden hot dog with squelchy onions on it that looked more like those really thin pale worm slugs all coiled together atop something resembling a burnt finger squashed into a little doughy coffin. - being turfed out of the ground like cattle, getting crushed at Fulham Broadway station and getting crushed again if you're lucky enough to get on a tube within the hour, and then realizing that you've lost your precious satin scarf during some crush or other - they were awesome (do they still sell them? I think not) then, yes, I will enjoy these heady times. (Nevertheless, I'd still take those days over what's happened since, like sitting next to Tarquin and Arabella every home game with a season ticket app which isn't even paper - no thanks, you can keep it these days - if you can afford it)
