Does anyone have him as a celebrity death?
I heard him in a clip on Morning Ireland this morning. Said that theyād have a go with 5 men if they had to. Clearly unaware that the match would be abandoned and a forfeit awarded before then.
Weād lost 3 of our starting back 4 so it felt a bit like the attitude when we went down to 9 was, we might as well have a cut at it because weāre inevitably going to concede. We did have 3 fairly decent chances to equalise and Son went very close to equalising as late as 94 minutes.
10 against 11, Iād imagine we still would have beaten them as Chelsea are dogshit. Weāve seen a few examples in recent weeks of 10 beating 11, Spurs at Kenilworth Road a few weeks ago and Glasgow Celtic at Meadowbank Thistle.
I couldnāt help thinking when our 9 men went close a few times from set pieces of a League of Scotland match back in the late 1980ās when 9 man Glasgow Rangers came from 0-2 down to salvage a 2-2 draw against 10 man Glasgow Celtic with two ex Tottenham stalwarts to the fore. Graham Roberts ended up in goal after Chris Woods was sent off and Richard Gough got the equaliser.
Roberts had a go as an amateur music conductor while in goal after the equaliser if I remember correctly.
Celtic beat Rangers in the two remaining derby matches that season and won the double.

Graham Roberts is one of my all time favourite Tottenham Hotspur players. A club legend.
Of the 2 subsequent games you referred to in that season, think Graham ended up in goal in the next game as well against Glasgow Celtic as Chris Woods had to go off injured with a few minutes left.
Now the dust has fully settled, Iām absolutely certain weāll win the league. Everywhere Ange goes, thereās always one aberration of a game early in the reign where things go disastrously wrong. I referred to those Yokohama & Celtic humblings last night & @Horsebox sent me a PM to say there were also parallels to the famous Luke DeVere Brisbane Roar match. Seeing players still believing in his game plan & never deviating from it despite all that conversely brings everyone closer & makes them believe even more. Itās almost cult like & Ange is a messianic figure.

Ange is building something alright. Heāll need another year or two though to fill out the squad. Some awful dross behind the first 11
3 in a row for Big Ange. Manager of the Month for October as well.
Madders and Mickey gone for the next few months
Richarlison out for a while too with a groin injury. It was a good laugh while it lasted for a few months. Itās all gone pear shaped now. No squad depth.

The team spirit will be off the charts after Angeās show of defiance against Chelsea. Mourinho would have had all 8 Outfield players stationed in the 6 yard box but Ange said āFack it mate, come at usā , which would have worked with better finishing from Sonny.
As it ever was, the mission is to hold onto top 4
Should be able to get back on the tracks against Wolves
top 5 mate
Itāll be no pushover heading up to the Black Country to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. They turned over the financial doping greasy oilmen a few weeks ago.
Top 5 for Champions League now?
I think so, really devalues it
It depends on coefficients but more than likely it will be yeah. More than attainable for Spurs
The format next year is appalling

Youād expect them to hold onto top 4 comfortably enough, thatās the benchmark at Spurs, obviously the FA cup should be a big target but itās a matter of negotiating the early rounds before the real games start
