Chelsea

Firstly, apologies for not writing for a little while. I’ve been out of the country and been very busy with other projects.

Since the last post we have lost 3-0 to Chelsea. Having read the match report I am under the impression that the match was much closer than the scoreline suggests. Correct me if wrong.

Just like my analysis of the defeat by Man Utd, I am of the opinion that there is no shame in losing to a team of Chelsea’s quality.

It’s fair to say that this defeat has not affected us after a midweek 5-1 thrashing of Preston. Crouch finished with a superb hat-trick including a cheeky little back-heel that is a must see!

As I write this, we are 5-0 up against Burnley (who almost caused an upset against us in the Carling Cup last year of course). Today it’s Keane’s turn to impress going one better than Crouch, scoring 4. So that’s the fourth time this season that we’ve scored 5 in a match. Love it!

COYS!!

Yesterday was certainly a tougher task than the 5-1 demolition of Hull midweek. It was made harder when the impressive looking Carlton Cole opened the scoring for the Hammers with a 22-yard spectacular after the break. Just 5 minutes later though, he turned from hero to villain (or villain to hero for us Spurs fans!) when his awful attempted backpass served as the perfect throughball for Defoe to equalise.

I only caught some of the match, but from what I did see Spurs were confident and controlled – but not necessarily in control. West Ham were not easy to [click to continue reading…]
