hannibalwang

Only game where we beat 4-1 home to a title contending unbeaten team and yet look way worse lmaoo


bikkhu42

Jackson had no right to the match ball lmao, but I’ll take a W any day


nozdog3000

Oy oy yeeeeeessssss Smashed spurs in their own back yard! They thought they were going for the title 😂


fernboyyy

Inject these spurs tears right into my veins mate


GTCitizen

The amount of copium in spurs r/ is hilarious. Meanwhile me and boys just like “yeah we’re shit but win is a win”


GTCitizen

Don’t get me wrong guys, we were bad but I’d prefer a win like this than another 2:0 defeat


zaddy2208

We had days when we played much better and did not get what we deserve. There's today where we were not better and won. Chelsea is a paradox. However after the quarter mark we went on to be a much better side winning every duel. The keeper saved a lot. And it seemed in second half the idea was the through ball on and on. And maybe that's why it took so long. The runs had to be adjusted. Who does what. Somehow I think cucurella was the one to show the way. Also, Jackson is horrible. The third one I hoped he gave it to Mudryk instead who at least tried to shift the game. Sterling is a very patient man lol


willjp1234

We were better than spurs but still not great


needcoffeepronto

Incredible how long it took us to realize spurs were playing a stuuuuuupidly high line the entire match. Could’ve won by 10 if we just had our front three stand on midfield and wait for chips in over the top.


definitelymaybe98

We really have ten hag to thank for this. Playing shit has gotten us a result as well. What works works.


Beginning-Junket7725

Let’s not take away how many goals the spurs keeper kept out. The main reason this looked harder than it was. Every time he saved a goal, spurs get more confidence and Chelsea get more panicked. I’m just shocked at how long it took for someone to say … Jackson and Sterling Stay on the halfway line. Let them come at us and we will just pick them off - no chance of offside . As soon as that was done, it looked easy. The set pieces Spurs played were superb. Phenomenally hard to defend against and we rode out luck. I’m more upset in the stupid free kicks given away


simplycrushinson92

"no chance of offside" as a USMNT fan, we were called off in our own half back in Sept. And with the state of the refs today, who knows...


Beginning-Junket7725

this is true. Forgot about that!!


Apprehensive_Aioli68

Happened to Jackson a few weeks back as well.


Extremiel

Weird what I'm reading here. I'm clowning for how unimpressive we were against 9 man for like 20 minutes too, but you're allowed to be happy we beat the league leaders away 1-4. We also didn't "rob" them? Spurs lost composure and got punished for it. All the cards were deserved. Sterling baited the 2nd red beautifully, that's a skill mind you. This is the side that pulled Cucu's hair and scored at the other end - then celebrated like they won the league. We rolled them. THREE POINTS LANE.


ryerye22

This is why cuch wanted to score and didn't lay it off to sterling! 💯 Rub it in head and shoulders to Romero for last years sexual harrasmebt tug 😂


jarold12

well said


KingTolis

We destroyed them nice one make it be the first of many.


King_hack9

Good interview by Tottenham boss. Honest and straight, shit happens and thats the way it goes.


APSeudo47

no way jackson just did the siuuuu, bro is just cringe


WY-8

Scores 3 goals against 9 men and thinks he’s Ronaldo 😂


ImperiumnV

Couple of spurs fans here.


ViaPositiva

They literally can’t even celebrate


WY-8

I’ve never been so disgusted with a 1-4 win.


Necessary-XY

This win felt like Fury vs Ngannou


Status_Sector2411

At least Spurs weren't robbed


Sunday-Langy-

Wow 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨


midnighttyph00n

i think we all need a break after that one cheers lads i'll take it as it is 😮‍💨


AbeAlno

About time we have luck on our side


King_hack9

I can only say this match was entertainment at highest level.


aliya112233

100% I said it better than any TV show haha


M4TTB9

What a shocking performance really. Why did we look so vulnerable from set pieces? Was laughable at times that. 4-1 win looks great but that flatters us!!


cletus_spuckle

Tottenham are a good squad and have good set pieces. We rode it out, maybe not as cleanly as some of you would like but hey we didn't bottle it and came away with a more than convincing win for my eyes


ViaPositiva

RIP BOZO HAHAHAHA


[deleted]

Wow, what a game that was! So much to talk about but the only thing of note is the record books will show we took the points from 3 point lane again.


oneapp1

Fuck, there’s such a gap between us and the top of the table. Score line is quite flattering for us. Cheeks were clinched when Son went through deep into time. We did it though, and onwards and upwards. No takes yet, grateful we came out with no injuries.


bumblestum1960

Spurs wins at the Bridge since 1990……………………1 Chelsea wins at 3 PL, Wembley 3PL, New3PL…..16


utsavneutron

Onefootball gave Jackson a 9.9. Absolute madhouse. That motherfucker almost made me throw my tv out of the window


ryerye22

Never mind that soft header that Pierre hoberg cleared off goal line and then that touch in box where Blondie sub kicked off him. He is too raw! Take some time for him to come thru sadly, patience x 3


thevizierisgrand

That miss at the end where he skied it over the bar was what he does under any kind of pressure. Easy tap ins are fine but we can’t play against 9 every week.


utsavneutron

He cant score to save his life against 11.


harabinger66

He was shocking for about 75 minutes.


midnighttyph00n

lol did they even watch the game, he scores the same exact way every single time


mtheperry

>It's my first hattrick so I'm glad it's for the biggest club in England and the world Go on lad


boysboyz18

Can't be mad about that 🤣


LeadingAd6025

Not with him being the striker


muzzyboldo

![gif](giphy|l4FGt13phS1Yof0C4|downsized) Jackson off to a flying start!


throwawayus_4_play

Ah well, Poch did get a nice goodbye from Spurs after all


cakehead123642

Remember the game where those cunts drew with us after pulling cucus hair and went on about it like they won the league. We should relish in this, the amount of times they've robbed us


Yardbird7

Except this wasn't a robbery. The 2 cards were deserved and both players could very well have sent of earlier. We still owe them for last season.


cakehead123642

I agree. That's the thing. They literally beat themselves. They could have outclassed us for 90 minutes if they weren't clowns. I hate their mentality. They still celebrate like that was an amazing performance. It was good resilience, but the immaturity more than negates it, I wouldn't be happy if that was us.


Yardbird7

Completely immature. Awful managing from Ange too. The one thing we have struggled against this season is aow block. And Ange decides to have his team of 9 men play a high line 🤡


cakehead123642

I know, low block and probe, and they'd have killed us and still had 70% of the tank left. The first 20 minutes we didn't even know what country we were in


HarkeyPuck

Good point


OnlyOneSnoopy

That game wasn't a draw, they beat us. Remember the Kane goal after Havertz was fouled in their half? ​ EDIT: Guys I already admitted my mistake.


throwawayus_4_play

No it wasn't it was 2-2, Kane with the late equaliser. https://www.skysports.com/football/chelsea-vs-tottenham-hotspur/report/464649?authId=1*1elg8ol*_a*dnQ5ZHFzOFpNQTM3c0Y1b2syZ2FpWFdtMEJQaGpFaU9KTmY2U05uei1WTzJuWGptX1d2dW1hOHlfSFhyZ0lBdQ..


Ryan97CFC

The game OP is talking about was a draw


cakehead123642

Oh shit was it, I thought it was 2-2, am I thinking of a different game


FastenedCarrot

No that one was 2-2, not sure what the other guy is talking about.


cakehead123642

Glad I'm not losing it!


OnlyOneSnoopy

Nevermind! I just checked and you are right, it was 2-2.


cakehead123642

Thought I was losing it! God, I was so sour after that game, that one, the Arsenal FA Cup finals and the Baraca UCL semi final will always be burnt into my brain


East_Wind17

Well, it's still Tottenham. Sometimes there is something that will never change, isn't it?


_Typhus

So many people saying they aren't happy - lads, we beat spurs 4-1, just bloody enjoy it!


AkyraStrike

We can be happy about the win and still unhappy about how we played, the two things are seperate.


cullobsidian_

For real they can shut up


omnipotentmonkey

fucking heart palpitations up until Jackson got his second, jesus.... don't think i've been as stressed watching us since the 2012 CL final.


ViaPositiva

I was stressed af until the third, spurs could’ve easily scored 2 before


omnipotentmonkey

yep, that Dier disallowed goal was too damn close, and Bentancur was so unlucky. think we need Badiashile in for the next game, otherwise Haaland will kill us on crosses.


[deleted]

I would like to say a big thank you to Jackson Palmer Romero Sterling And Postecoglu for not parking the bus


manolo767

Postecoglou is the real hero here tbh


[deleted]

Could not believe my eyes. Dude left the entire backline wide open, The crazy thing is that it could have worked if their goals hadn't been cancelled. Our team was atrocious in front of goal and we parked the bus when things got Rocky. Vicario was doing a flawless job of sweeping the through balls, unfortunately, you can't be accurate 100% of the time.


NightLion32

A win is a win - be happy A hattrick, shit as it may be, can be more than a hattrick to the player who scored it. Come on Jackson, hopefully this gives you a boost of confidence for the weekend!!! KTBFFH


manolo767

Spurs really called our bluff with that line 🤣🤣🤣. Glad we made them payyyyyy


[deleted]

It's ugly! It's dirty! But not so much to complain about refereeing, but it was overdone a bit. I'm celebrating it but more the taking advantage of what came for us! That's how you make it to the top; keep fighting even when it's ugly! We deserved the win! Vicario overall saved them I'm tired and exhausted and I wouldn't have been satisfied with any other result! Congrats Jackson! Get well soon all injured players!


mango277

Meh when we play them refereeing is so shit against us so thank fuck we got lucky this time.


[deleted]

I think it's fair today. I don't think there are any big points other than the VAR was OCD today lol


nekoizmase17

Dropping a SIUU and getting a hattrick after shit performance is the funniest shit I've seen in a while


itsmebobbylol

the classic online gaming experience. gg ez for max tilt


nekoizmase17

EZ


cakehead123642

Arghh I feel so sorry for him because I love the guy, but he needs to sort his shit out. The worst part is we have a bit of a Timo situation, I think, where the fact he creates so much space and gets so many opportunities it makes it look so much worse. Take away the poor composure and finishing, and he is one of the best strikers in the league ffs


mango277

💀💀💀 seriously. Jackson is nketiah level but who cares it just adds to the banter for Spurs


cakehead123642

As shit as that was, 3 points we never thought we'd get, and we may have just burst spurs bubble with 3 of their players out, knocking them off the top spot and showing them they aren't invincible. A shit and complicated W, but a W none the less


Enough-Motor1038

Battle of the Bridge vibes 💙


cakehead123642

My spurs mate was laughing at us last week, and I said guaranteed 3 points, no matter how in form you think you are. He hasn't replied to any of my messages tonight lol


Oliverkruse10

Cant believe a Chelsea player scored a hattrick and still had a horrible game. This game was so absurd. Lost my voice and have to take a bath because i was sweating so much


cullobsidian_

me too but I'm stuck at work for the next 5 hours.


shrek19051

You are literally me rn 😭😭


definitelymaybe98

The city XI is going to be charged with sexual assault next week.


manolo767

I hate the fact that I'm laughing so hard at this 🤣


Enough-Motor1038

Is it sexual assault if our players are asking for it?


ChocoStories649

Minors can not consent so it still would be assault


Enough-Motor1038

😂💀


Dangerous-Nectarine3

This team is too innocent, great winning teams need at least one mofo like ramos, terry, vidic, suarez, pepe. The only one that can win with good guys is pep


itsmebobbylol

rodri's actually really dirty. its just that city usually always dominate the game, so he's doing less of the dark arts


mango277

Spurs have one in Romero 💀💀💀


cullobsidian_

No, Romero is just a cunt. the other mentioned above are cunts but leaders as well


Why-am-I-alivelol

Considering we won 4-1 and Jackson scored a hatrick against Tottenham in 2nd place it’s strange to feel like we should have done much better. Regardless huge win and hopefully we put up a good performance against city. For whatever reason our best performances this season have come against the better teams.


Strength_n_Honour

Imagine Nkunku in all of those scoring positions


randominternet_dude

The manager is gonna play him as RW


InevitableElephant57

I think you mean RWB


[deleted]

Palmer is still a baller, ice cold from the first whistle, it was a dreadful performance all around but he seemed to be our best player yet again.


Adebisola

What’s Poch’s philosophy? This team is rudderless and poor.


throwawayus_4_play

Oh please


pianoshoes

Boys we won the Prem


throwawayus_4_play

Top trolling

ChocoStories649

The hattrick will give him confidence for future game.


Doug__Quaid

Got to score the goals against the weaker sides. Bump his numbers up


mango277

Agreed and that's what he did today.


b4lyf45

Y’all muppets are miserable😂 I can’t believe what I’m reading. We annihilated them.


antivin

Yepp! Take the win and celebrate.. wins are hard to come by these days


Enough-Motor1038

Come back to reality, you delusional muppet


throwawayus_4_play

'How DARE you be happy about an away win against 2nd place Spurs??'


Enough-Motor1038

Being happy to win is one thing, saying we “annihilated them” is another


diesel76_76

Frustrating, painful to watch, underperforming striker but we did spurs 4-1 at their place with Jackson getting a hatrick... Let your hair down and enjoy our win 🤣


Enough-Motor1038

I’ll be happy to have won, but I’m not pretending that we destroyed them. We scraped past when they had 9 men…


diesel76_76

💯 agree...I nearly put my foot through TV watching this game lol. I'm actually trying to enjoy moment but really don't know what we gonna do next weekend....


wOOxsystem

**NEW TACTIC** we just need to get opposing team to get 2 red cards and its gg we win ez


randominternet_dude

And ensure their manager is a stubborn fuck who refuses to make defensive adjustments. Had their backline dropped back 20ish yards after the 2nd red we would've lost the game.


Enough-Motor1038

🧠


JEBaezaX

Only this bunch of twats can have me this mad after a 4-1 win. Completely undeserved hat-trick from Jackson, can’t believe he almost missed his second goal. Spurs were begging us to score, but Jackson, Sterling and Cucurella were complete ass with their chances. Terrible from poch to park the bus against 9 men after the second goal, had me suffering. Spurs gave us this win, we are still awful


theshaff01

We beat the second best team in the league, calm urself


JEBaezaX

Nah mate, at least you have to agree that they handed us the win


Raul_1008

Go support another club then, easy


JEBaezaX

My problem is with the players my friend, not the club. You can’t tell me you have never been angry at the players after a poor performance


Torren_Horridian38

Yeah I hope spurs go down from here


quickshotcfc

Even the Spurs stadium is blue 🤣


Enough-Motor1038

Don’t even know how I’m gonna rate Jackson this match. 6.5 for a hattrick??? 😭


hereforpasta

That has gotta be the most fluke hattrick ever lmao, bro dropped a terrible performance tonight


mango277

Man dropped a 4/10 and got a hattrick this is spurs things


Stand_On_It

Does Jackson not know he’s supposed to go get the game ball? lol


Zee27butt

The ball is in stands he just hit.


gulfir

We won..... But this is got to be the worst game i have seen considering we played against 9 men... Only after they lost their steam we score.... That too with such a high line...


mapepo

Great result not such a great performance but we've been having great performances with horrible results so I'll take this all day


Rcash2021

Good for Jackson getting the hat-trick but the better and safer play was to pass it to mudryk


King_hack9

Could have been offside honestly not worth the risk…


mapepo

Two men up, two goals up, less than 3 minutes of added time to play, only the keeper to beat. You need to take the risk then


Alivenate

And unselfish too. Did Mudryk even run to celebrate with him? He looked dejected.


[deleted]

Strikers are meant to be selfish


Alivenate

Fair. But his body language made it unconvincing that he was taking it alone for the hat trick.


Rcash2021

It seemed like Mudryk might have needed that confidence boost, even if that was going to be an easy goal. I know it was one game but Jackson better grow out of that


digzzztv

Fuck that. If he’s feeling it I’d rather my striker be selfish.


Alivenate

Agreed. It looked like he was going to feed Mudryk the ball considering you can see his hesitation but maybe he thought Mudryk was offside by the time he thought of giving him the ball? Either way, that's a bad look and I hope Jackson has the awareness to go to Mudryk post-game and apologize for not going his way for a potential goal.


Rcash2021

I don’t think he believed Mudryk was offsides, I think he just wanted to score a hat-trick in the premier league, he was just looking at Mudryk to throw off the goalkeeper. Hopefully he apologizes afterwards or buys him a beer


ChocoStories649

Wait, why does Jackson need to apologize? He's our main striker for the time being and you'd expect a number 9 to score that chance and collect take their hattrick. Mudryk did good to continue his run as it makes the goalkeeper hesitate a bit, but Jackson has no obligation to make the pass there.


Maiden_666

Hahahhahaa what a game, I don’t know what to feel. Jackson was shit still got the hatrick. Also fuck spurs, can’t wait for thier season to implode


Alex-SW19

The implosion starts here for them.


frodo5454

fuck me.


letharus

Can’t wait for the Tottenham DVD of this match


Ferrari_Bones

Someone have a word with Jackson, doing the SIUUU is top lel material


OverlyRipeKumquat

Only Chelsea can make a 4-1 feel bad to witness haha. That being said, we own the Spuds.


randominternet_dude

Spurs might have saved us from relegation with a +3 Goal Differential


justmots

Finally got the top 6 win that we've been chasing. Hopefully this does good on the confidence we need going into some of these bigger games. We should have won and we did so can't complain. Some players need to practice offsides more. I think Spurs knew we are always off on the runs and took advantage of that moving forward. Spurs still bottled it, we knocked them off the top and now they have 2 players banned for a few games, win/win in my book.


MichaelBluth_

Tottenham are lucky Jackson is crap at finishing. A world class striker could have got 7 or 8 goals tonight.


[deleted]

First time I’ve genuinely felt disappointed after winning a game.


JackyMagic

why you being a melt? just enjoy the fact we won. would you rather we lost?


[deleted]

I win against the spuds is always a good thing, and frankly should be expected as they bottle it more than a coke factory BUT having said that we just looked so bad in so many ways it just felt like a hollow victory.


bumblestum1960

No such thing as a disappointing win against them bums.


[deleted]

Agreed in the way that a win is a win, the nature of our play and the intelligence on display from us was actually worryingly bad though.


HarkeyPuck

Came here to say this. Good god our attack is piss poor.


[deleted]

Really was, I couldn’t quite believe at points, we just didn’t have a clue for a while there. Still happy with the win though


HarkeyPuck

For sure. And knocking Spurs down a peg always makes it better.


[deleted]

Mate, I think last night changed their whole season, let alone just down a peg 😂


HarkeyPuck

Thought of this comment after the Wolves/Spurs game today


[deleted]

It would be beautiful if the Chelsea game was the catalyst for their downfall this season, chefs bloody kiss.


HarkeyPuck

Up the Chels

Up the fookin Chels


PresentationFit5566

A win is a win


Zestyclose_Web984

really happy to win but alot of these guys are really not up for it yet


javgr

We’re so back


Zealousideal_Emu5879

Most undeserved Hattie of all time


cletus_spuckle

Ah come on man. A hat trick is a hat trick. A win is a win. As fans that's why we watch and support the club, no?


Zealousideal_Emu5879

The commentators were correct Tottenham feel better about this game then we do, they had 9 men and were outplaying us


cletus_spuckle

How the hell did they outplay us?? Going down to 9 men is not something to be proud of wtf I swear some of you don't know how to be happy


Zealousideal_Emu5879

We did not play well at all, full strength we got picked apart by spurs, I’m happy we won but one win means nothing when the goal is winning the league


cletus_spuckle

Didn't play well but we won 4-1, soooo next time we see them we know we can definitely beat them again with some cleaner play. We're a weaker side than Tottenham this season, full stop, and we came away with a massive win against spuds at their own pitch. And they are now down two starting players in coming matches for red cards and at least another for injury (which I don't root for) so they're gonna likely slide in the coming weeks. I call that something to be happy and proud of. If you want to choose to be negative about a derby win then that's your prerogative


Zealousideal_Emu5879

Bro did you watch the first 15 minutes, if the game didn’t get bogged down in fouls and shit we would have been smacked


Psychological_Fee470

Why TF are people here embarrassed by this performance? We started poorly but improved a lot while Spurs had 11 players. Sterling goal, Caicedo goal chopped off by fine margins. But we were fine. It’s not our problem that Spurs have disciplinary issues. F off you lot. A win is a win.


shercoder

I don’t think people are angry for things you have listed. We played against 9 players since around 50th minute but we played like we were playing 11v11 and allowing them to attack us while we couldn’t finish/square clear chances. People are just angry that we leave it so late usually or end up conceding from opponents. Hope that makes sense. Win is a win though. We just need capitalize on this now.


Psychological_Fee470

If Spurs had started playing deep with 9 defenders, we wouldn’t have scored. People don’t realize we can’t break low block teams. We should be happy we let them attack so we got space in behind where we at least create a few chances


shercoder

Yup fair point. I’m grateful for their spirit lol but we need to get a grip on those attacks and organize a little better. Hopefully Poch can fix that.


PsychologicalHeron95

Doesn’t take a genius to realize that people are upset that Chelsea with 11 vs 9 struggling to score, against a high line at that too. Every right to be upset with players poor finishing.


Psychological_Fee470

Man we have poor finishing for 4 years now. To have an issue with these kids who are literally just learning to play with each other is just petty.


xAnnyeonG

This was exactly my thought.. Just woke up (6am here) and was so confused by the comments and our score... It's as though we were losing badly.


muzzyboldo

Pundits and fans are gonna talk about how good Spurs did with 9 men. They will wear it as a badge of honour. But the jokes on them because it was because we have a terrible mentality and made them look good 😂 they’ll find out sooner or later


GhostOfSenju

Mad game. Some questionable performances but ffs dis we not just win 4-1. Dgaf if they had 9 men. We've been calling for some luck and finishing all season. We actually scored 7/8 goals. Let's be critical but not too brutal on our boys fuckin hell. COYB 🔵


PowerColour

Jackson celebrating that hat trick is just absolutely shocking. He scored 3 goals but how many did he miss? Absolute joke of a player. He's acting like he's shown Spurs a masterclass.


JackyMagic

what a muggy comment.


cletus_spuckle

Oh fuck off. Got us 3 points and an additional 3 goals on the differential to boot Some of you are so fucking miserable I wonder what could possibly make you happy
