chippy

Much better all-round performance, but it has to be said Spurs were very poor. I've just had a look at our remaining fixtures and it's a pretty tough run in from here.

Trump is an economic nationalist ( something i see nothing wrong with at all) not a White Nationalist, which is something I would be 100% against. Black Republican, Ben Carson, has know Trump for years and strongly defends Trump, as do many others who know him. Trump can be very crude and politically incorrect though! Btw it was Obama who introduced the detention facilities with children in cages, not Trump! Sane thing happening here with the deportation of foreign criminals. A policy started by a Labour government is now somehow seen as racist by that very party. Lammy and co have no problem deporting white, European criminals but yet again play the race card when it comes to deporting black criminals. Stinking hypocricy and another example of the reverse racism that is now going on with that lot.

To be a little bit fair to them. Being a Politician is a very difficult and demanding job with very long hours. They get the blame for everything wrong/bad and the credit for very little. It's impossible to make everyone happy. You have the far left who detest the idea of living under Conservative rule (90 out of the last 120 years btw) and others who see far left ideology as just crazy and downright dangerous. A good number of them could earn a great deal more money doing something different, but the decent ones (for which there are many) want to try and make their Countries and their peoples lives better. For all their faults, overall, i think most of them do a good job.

You say you give no quarter to racism. Is that just white on non white racism or do you also condem it the other way too? Do you condemn the racist ANC governmant in South Africa? In Zimbabwe? Do you condemn the racist attacks in Sweden with gangs of immigrants attacking young Swedish boys in what is being called humiliation attacks? The Muslim pedo gangs who targeted under age white girls in England. Militant blacks in America getting away with saying in Uni "there are too many white people in here". Real Liberals speak out against everyone and everything that is bad or wrong. The modern left keep very quiet when it comes to the bad within certain sections of society.

You and everyone on here knows full well what identity politics is and who is practicing it, so don't try and play games. Sadly, your redneck slurs are just typical of the kind of reaction you get from so many of the left these days. If someone doesn't go along with their extreme ideology they are instantly branded as a racist/ascist/Nazi. Just voting for Brexit or Conservative makes someone a fucking Nazi. Simply wanting your own Country to govern itself is seen as xenophobic. We see the hateful, racist, race baiting Labour MP David Lammy gets away with saying members of the ERG are WORSE than Nazis. Yes, worse than mass murderers. The Left have lost the argument and have nothing left other than to dish out abuse. As for what my politics is? Until Corbyn and Momentum came along and hijacked the party I'd always considered myself as a fairly middle of the road Labour voter. Come the next election Tony Blair will have been the only Labour leader to have won an election in the last 50 years. They're losing millions of their core voters and becoming more and more irrelevant as each decade passes.

Frank was ranting at the officials by the touchline long after that foul and had a go at them in his interview saying " it's just not good enough."

I said after the UTD game we'd win today and I was going to put some money on us. Didn't get to the bookies tho grrrr.

Bet he says they dominated the second half and deserved a point.

Should have been 3 or 4 but a well deserved win and a huge 3 points For me. Giroud and Alonso joint man on match. Willy was solid and deserved clean sheet but defo keeps his place. We're not great but should be 10 points clear of this shite Spurs team.

That should be red!

The best we've pressed in quite a while! Deserve the lead and Spurs look pretty crap (again) but we badly need a second goal to kill them off.

At last we have a bit of luck in front of goal and VAR.

Alonso, Giroud and Barkley all playing well.

Alonso might be shit at defending but at least he gives us something in attack.

Fucking criminally stupid play by Jorginho;

With both our CB's already giving the ball away without even being under pressure. Rudi in particular is hugely overrated by some!

No Bats, which equals a good start for us!!!!

Agree! Ball possession and pass percentage mean jack! A midfielder who makes very creative, probing passes in the final third of the pitch is unlikely to have as high a pass percentage as ones like Jorginho and Kova who make lots of short passes much deeper. We simply need more players who can create and be a real threat to the opposistion. Take the Utd game. Kova was probably our best player. But for all his technical ability and running with the ball in the middle of the pitch, once he got into the final third he was clueless and downright poor. He has far too many of these kind of games.

The election will see the Dems get the same kind of thrashing as Corbyn and his extremist Labour party got. More and more moderate people are being pushed to the Conservatives and this will continue for as long as the Lefties continue along the road with this dangerous and devisive Woke and identity politics BS.

But so many of our goal attempts are in very crowed penalty areas, which is mostly down to our pedestrian build up play with endless passes and players frustratingly looking for another pass or taking an extra touch when in a good position. Liverpool and an on form City are consistently able to carve open teams and have 3 or 4 attackers against 3 or 4 defenders. Until we start opening up teams at pace, we'll struggle to do what the top teams are doing. .

All Someone has in his tactical locker is to suffocate teams, knick a goal a defend it. You know as well as I do that will only take you so far in the EPL. We'd become the new Arsenal getting 4th place every year, but playing mind rotting football along the way. I remember watching a CL game at Athletico when we were managed by Jose. Not just the most boring game I'd ever seen but the most boring hour of sport I'd see. I was in a pub and after an hour I stopped watching a had a game of Pool instead and I don't even like playing Pool. Imho, managers like Simeone and Jose are just bad for top level football.

If a Simeone team was playing in my back garden i'd draw the curtains. Grinding out 1 goal leads in the Premiership will not win the title!

No question Frank is making rookie mistakes from which he'll have to learn from or be sacked. What he can't be responsible for tho is Bats being Bats. Willian having a clear shot at goal from 18 yards and blasting it 10 yards over. Rudi looking like he was stuck in mud wearing lead boots for the second goal. Stuck with a midfield (whichever combo we use) that can't create or score or protect the defence. 4 CB's who are all 4th choice level. Shit keepers. Shit RB's. We really should not be anywhere near 4th place with this sorry lot. 2 years from now, from those who played last night I only expect James, Mount and probably Kova to still be Chelsea players. That is the level of the rebuild job that is needed.
