Eight points down to five...Tick Tott Tick Tott

[Ps. Chivers was a fine forward but couldn't hold a candle to the great Peter Osgood.[/QUOTE]

I am sorry but this is completely off of the original subject, but Peter Osgoods goal in the 1970 FA Cup final replay is 1 of my earliest football memories, funnily enough along with the 2 Martin Chivers scored in the 1971 league cup final, and I being of the age where we were treated to the Big Match on Sunday afternoons we saw lots of London matches, and along with Osgood, Chivers I recall being in awe of Alan Hudson and Charlie Cooke at Chelsea, Martin Peters, Alan Gilzean and Pat Jennings at Spurs, John Radford at Arsenal, Trevor Brooking and Pop Robson at West Ham and Rodney Marsh and my all time favourite Stanley Bowles at QPR (sorry I know this is the Chelsea board). I have been to Chelsea as well, FA Cup qtr final in 2000 when you beat the Gills 5 - 0, but it was a good day out! Remember George Weah being just a bit too good for us! The 4th round tie at Priestfield which you won 4 - 2 the following year and was a much better game.

[District Line]

As a neutral southern based football fan, I love reading the banter on the Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal boards, and I make the occasional comment (I support league 2 Gillingham, gamne called off today so getting my football fix elsewhere). But felt compelled to add my 2 penneth here as I do like things to remain factual, and it certainly isnt the case that Spurs have been Chelseas shadow for 30 years as this seems to suggest, whilst no one can argue Chelseas success in the 21st century, from 1981 - 2000, Spurs finished above Chelsea 12 times out of 19. Now I am old and have enjoyed watching great footballers at both clubs from Osgood and Chivers in the early 70s right through to today, but I can only think that many of the Cheslea fans here are very young as you did wait a long time to win the title too. Spurs wont win the title this year but they are playing great football, and for the neutral are good to watch and I am just pleased that London has 3 teams who will compete with those from the North for many years to come. I will also add that I like Drogs avatar as along with my love of football I am massive Jam/Weller fan. Anyway play fair everyone and enjoy; I think it will be a quite a ride.

You are welcome on here anytime

But yes Spurs haven't always been in our shadow, equally we haven't always been in theirs.

With us London clubs it's always been swings and roundabouts.

back down to six points.

Good point with our B team: no Drog, Terry Lamps, and Rambo.

I wonder how Sours would do v United without Modric etc

Don't think Lampard is in your first team any more. Drog has been in and out, and Terry is no longer better than Cahill. Essien for Ramieres (sp?) is not a huge weakening of your team?

To compare losing Modric to any of them is silly. Now taking on Man U without Mata would have been a challenge.

We lost 3-0 at Old Trafford at the start of the season, however our team sheet was barely even B team: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Van der Vaart, Kranjcar, Livermore, Bale, Defoe

A 4-5-1 with Defoe up top on his own

IIRC we played alright first half then forgot about the second half - the return match at WHL should be more interesting with our improved first XI

Fair play, Morph. Reckon you will give them a good game too.

[Moorpheus19]

We should do given how we've played this season - however I half expect us to approach the game negatively and aim to hold their MF rather than take the game to them as we should.

Of course he doesn't, he's a bloody Gillingham fan .

Well, we got a point at Klanfield, which few of you wums thought we would.

We should beat the Toon, Everton and Stoke, and possibly Arsenal. If not, we'll certainly get a draw against Arsenal, as they are playing no where near as good as 'Pool, and we'll also get a draw against you, possibly even a win. That would mean that we could afford to lose against United (as we always do), and still sit comfortably in 3rd.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are not playing very well at the moment, and I can definitely see you being reeled-in by the Toon and 'Pool.

Worrying times, indeed, for you guys.

I love 'we should beat' quotes. United should have beaten Blackburn at home, you should have beated Wolves at home etc. Football is a funny old game. Lets see how Spurs' nerve holds in a run in. Didn't work out that well last year did it??

[London's Only EC Winners]

Spurs struggle v the big clubs. They just can't beat them.

I see no reason for it to be different this season.

I can see no victories for them v the big 3 as usual

[Hoddle Is A God]

Indeed, and as a Chelsea fan, you will appreciate the truth in that statement more than anyone.

My Chelsea-supporting mate has already written-off this season. He said he'd settle for fourth right now, but fears you could go out of the top 4, you are playing that badly. He thinks Spurs are odds-on for third, and he reckons we can still push for the title. He's a self-made man, so he's used to calling the shots and getting them right.

Those who say differently as merely making themselves look foolish, in my opinion.

i think you will find that we have already beaten one of the big 3 this season in Arsenal

Well, I have to say you've changed your tune little spud wum.

Your state your Chelsea mate says

I find it incredible you actually have any mates let alone any alleged Chelsea fan who has already written off the season with 42 points to play for?? Hypothetically you could still finish outside the top 10 so to write off a season that far out explains why you are the Chelsea boards biggest wum.

We are playing that badly we took a point off Manchester united in the best 2nd half of the season so far and held you with a makeshift team at three-point-lane and beat Manchester City?? By the time you have lost to United,Arsenal and Chelsea we could be 2 points in front of you? But the best comment is

"My mate, He's a self-made man, so he's used to calling the shots and getting them right".

You are one stupid little wum, please get off the Chelsea board as you are not welcome here anymore.
