Yeah, haven't seen much of Mata. He should have bagged his chance imo. Hopefully we can keep the lead, good going into the second half with our heads up high. We need two goals, and it's ours. Come on, Chelsea. Besides, I think Torres has looked quite good today. Doesn't get much service, but has made something himself.

WHAT A GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And we're supposedly all out of gum!!

She's in labour (having a baby).

Finish the job boys. Let's do this!!!! GO CHELSEA!

This is brilliant. Should be a win. SHOULD BE.

Bale is not starting! GREAT!

Some confusion over the Tottenham line-up v Chelsea. We are checking this now #TOTCHE

Yeah, the Premier League account deleted the tweet.

From official Premier League Twitter account: Tottenham team v Chelsea: Friedel, Vertonghen, Gallas, Caulker, Walker, Sandro, Sigurdsson, Dempsey, Huddlestone, Lennon, Defoe

Seems like Bale is in fact playing.

How come Tottenham twitter say Bale is on?

Chelsea TV says no Bale? WTF?

Here's our starting line-up v Chelsea - Friedel; Walker, Caulker, Gallas, Vertonghen; Sandro, Sigurdsson; Lennon, Dempsey, Bale; Defoe. No Dembele?

There's only one Di Matteo! ONE DI MATTEOOOOOOOO!

Think a lot of Chelsea fans will be satisfied with a draw, but I have a good feeling about this one, and hoping for all three points. I think we'll line up like this: Cech Bran - Luiz - Cahill - Cole Lamps - Mikel Ramires - Mata - Hazard Torres Not that I agree to this lineup, but I think RDM wants to silence Bale, and I for one think we need our vice captain, so I'd not be surprised if Lamps play. 3-2 Chelsea, even though I thought it would be 2-0 earlier. COME ON CHELS!

Not sure mate, but something along those lines.

They actually said that he had gotten the week off, and was back in Germany for vacation, and enjoy time off with his family.

Prediction of the ending table, only London clubs.

Haha, actually I have gotten the minute right once, and the result came out better than expected. But yeah, if they come out true, please pick a number for the lottery numbers!

Read a couple of Spurs forums, and honestly they don't think too much of it. Make of that what you will, could be because they are afraid of admitting it, but don't overestimate our capabilities, the season is still VERY young, and hard to predict what the next months will bring. Excited for this game. They are certainly not to be underestimated, they are a very good side. But so are we. And we should definitely go for the 3 points. I would go with the same formation and players as the Arsenal game. I'm feeling rather confident about this one, even though some Spud fans claim that they will be our first test, lol. Must have forgotten Arsenal. Still a bit worried about facing AVB, would be such a saddening cliché if they were to win. Anyways, going for 3-1. Goalscorers: 32' min - Mata 41' min - Vertonghen 64' min - Torres 72' min - Torres

Don't put too much into this. I have a hard time seeing where he actually criticizes Hazard for going down too easy, and the headlines are written to sell papers. It's a mere exaggeration. RDM is right though, it takes more to get a penalty in England than other leagues. Not that this is more 'correct' than the rules being enforced elsewhere, but that's just how it is. Hazard is a hugely talented player, and we are so lucky to have him. We should all thank the Big Drog, not only for bringing home the Champions League trophy, but also to build the foundation for the years to come, with the likes of Hazard, Oscar, Moses and Azpilicueta. Let's not get into a debate who's best and who's not. Our Trinity (love that btw) of Haz, Mata and Oscar are all worldclass potential players and I am so excited to be a Chelsea fan the next couple of years. Sure, it'll have its ups and downs, good periods like now and worse times. But I think we have to mold to become one of, if not THE BEST team on the planet. We owe it to the man. Thanks Drog. Forever in our hearts. Can't wait!!!!

Oscar. WHAT. A. GEM.

Romeu likes to shoot from the distance, and he is fairly decent at it!

Mikel off / Romeu on!
