I do. My experience of Chelsea is that they're the least painful to deal with should they win something

I know one person here who is for Chelsea and we don't hear each other anymore so it's good I suppose. I don't know any Spurs fans. :D

This. Thank God they are back in the lead. Imagine the cocky Spurs fans should they win the league!

LoL but so true:D

For me if not Chelsea to win the league then it is better if another club like Leicester surprisingly win it. In top 6, it would be United because it was the norm that United is going to win it (till love the time United and Chelsea both dominated the league and did well in Europe). Then City and Liverpool as they are far away from London. Arsenal would be the last. Actually many times I think it will be fantastic for them if Wenger wins it one more time at his club.

Tottenham? No. I don't think they have to win the league because according to their fans they have been the best team in the league for years and by miles. No need trophies anymore :lol:

Comentator on tv said Terry did not play PL game since November?! Is he still a captain? If so, will he lift the trophy?

It would be fantastic for me to see him lifting the trophy again. That will be an emotional day but we have to continue doing well and win it first :D
 
No Idea For Nickname said:
thank you for replying. Was he injured or just did not fit Conte's plans? I completely forgot he still is playing for Chelsea.

He's on his way out after an illustrious career, so his pitch time is limited. His influence in the dressing room is the same as it always was though. Even without being on the pitch he's still the clubs captain first and foremost.

Quite like the look of Romeu, he's developed into quite the player

I remember having a quite a discussion with some fellow Chelsea supporters about him when he was still a blue. At one point it was Mikel v Romeu, and to me it was quite obvious that Romeu was the way forward. Mikel was a beast with recycling possession and holding off attackers, but for a holding midfielder he was a terrible tackler and painfully slow. Romeu kept it simple and for me he was superior defensively. He seems to be developing nicely.

He also was one of the stand outs at Wembley in the league cup final, I wouldn't mind us going in for him tbh, could actually be a good option for us. I think he will be one of those players Tottenham signs that turns out to be great like Dembele + Wanyama and we will be kicking ourselves.
 
There are no longer minimum matches requirement to get a medal. The Champions are given given 40 medals to distribute as they wish.

Great win by our boys. So much salt in here(nothing new or surprising ),Gandhi would have been proud to march here. Onwards and upwards! And please let's stop conceding needless goals.
 
Come on Spurs, destroy the eagles 8-0 with Alli scoring a double hattrick. I need the FF points and need you to keep the belief up until you meet Utd. Also need Arsenal to win too.

So you boys think today will be the day that spurs throw in the towel or will they postpone the inevitable collapse until the Arsenal game?

I honestly don't know. I have a real fear the wheels will come off tonight and we will drop points. Incredible pressure on us tonight so it will show everyone if we have the mentality to go all the way.

I think a solid win tonight will show that you are progressing and are not at the same level as last season.

Consistency is the key for challenging.

If Palace are on holiday mode because they are safe it could be a comfortable win for you or perhaps they will be relaxed and play well which could mean at least a draw.

What was the result at the lane or was that postponed because I couldn't find the result

Palace aren't safe. They will be up for Spurs tonight.

Well, at least that will be nice for you. Sort of like a trophy.

It's not at all "like a trophy".

What will be important is finishing in at least 2nd place and thus showing progress from last season in terms of position and not just points gained .... just as last season showed progress from the one before that.

I didn't realise that! So basically Swansea or Hull left to go down?

Guess Burnley could still get caught up in the race, and theoretically Leicester (but I expect them to gain enough points with two games in hand), too. I like Marco Silva and what he's done with limited resources, so hopefully the current three go down.
