[bluephoenix 1,125]

It would be an amazing weekend if we manage to oust City at their backyard.

Atkinson is ref. I think he's the most decent of all English refs. Don't remember he ever fucked us. 

[Magic Lamps 11,449]

There are only two ways we beat them. Either by luck and clinical counters like 2017 or by playing out of our skins and outpacing them 1vs1 like in 2014.

We need to defend for our lives and wait for our chances. They are weak in the centre but we should not make the same mistakes as in OT amd overcommit

Ederson is back in training for Man City.

It’s been announced Jose Mourinho has been appointed the new Tottenham manager. Any legacy he had at Chelsea is completely tarnished

bottom line for me

Mou cannot be truly blamed as our academy product was shit compared to what is now, it was NOT from a lack of playing time

dozens have moved on and been dregs when they did get loads of PT

we just finally have gotten a pure gold class of several years

and I see more in the pipeline atm

Conor Gallagher may make all my ranting about DMF superfluous

Ugbo may end up a decent CF

Trevoh Chalabah looks like he might be a baller

Clarke-Salter (probably sold though) and Ampadu have big potential

 

and then there is (especially Anjorin, Guehi, Maatsen, and then, even younger, Ashley Akpan (looks a BEAST so far) and Jude Soonsup-Bell, a CF)

 

 

I don't agree sorry. Whilst maybe not as bountiful he still had something to work with. Jose had guys like RLC, Ake, Chalobah coming through PLUS already had guys like KDB, Lukaku, Oscar and Salah coming through. He had a great amount of talent after he came back but did not manage them well at all, and barely even took a sniff at the academy boys. 

Surprise surprise, he's also just become Spurs manager. This guy doesn't love Chelsea like he claims he does sorry.

I don't think going to Spurs is the killer in that regard, Cudicini went to Spurs but he is quite clearly a Chelsea man. The comments he started making about us when we started beating him for me are the proof he doesn't love us like he claimed, his 'love' for us came under the conditons he was either managing us to success or beating us to it.

I was speaking more about his first time here, I should have been clearer

Didn't he say he'd never manage Spurs out of respect for Chelsea? Of course he'll always be a somewhat of a Chelsea man but nowhere near as much as he makes himself out to be. You're right though, he's proven he isn't a proper proper Chelsea man already with his time at United. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but also he's in my opinion already taken a dig at the club too in his statement about how he's excited to "use their academy".

I'm not sure tbh as I haven't read the statement.

What I do know is he's going to be unbearable in the lead up to our game, he will 100% turn against Lampard if we beat them, possibly even if we don't.

Bring it on I say. Last chance saloon for Jose too. If he doesn't do well here I can't see him managing at a serious top level club again.

What's seen as doing well, though?

Spurs haven't exactly been successful over the last 20 years, so the odd FA Cup & Top 4 might be enough for the club.

For starters, show that he has changed or can change his ways and won’t drag the club through toxicity and misery again. His combustible character is the one thing that’s keeping him from the really major clubs.
