He's on about Alonso.
Today was poor from Chelsea. But they got the 3points so credit to them. But the were playing like a wba or Stoke team, hardly looked like champions. But again credit to them and as always spurs will remain a bottling team.
That Sky Sports new season preview advert with all those butterflies is like something out of Harry Potter. Cringeworthy.
Spurs dominated but created little in fairness. Dont think defeat was harsh. Thought Morata was decent, going to be a good league this year. Way too early for any title predictions though
Marcos Alonso
Surely it must be time for Spurs to upgrade on Lloris. So many howlers every season.
Conte is such a smug twat too. His faux-passion is tiresome.

Yeah apart from that spell at the end of the first half, they really didn't do anything to deserve the win. They struggled to break the Chelsea defence.
Maybe Sky should get Katie Hopkins as a pundit. She would be better than anything BT has to offer
Chelsea were excellent defensively speaking, offered very little in attack though. They're going to be hard to break down this season (last weeks game aside)
Spurs were really poor, severley lacking pace and the movement in midfield was non-existent. Eriksen was the only bright spark but he can't do everything himself.

The title is going to Manchester. Which side is yet to be seen but both teams look a class above the London sides & Liverpool.
Is it? Alonso is clearly a bigger goal threat.
Spuds will be spuds.
Missed the first ten of the second but all the 'pressure' the were supposedly putting Chelsea under the didn't force Courtois to make single save.
No one has stood out so far in reality.
They had a lot of posession and they camped outside the Chelsea box. Lots of foreplay and no penetration.
She'd criticise all the Muslim players though and say they were all terroristsMaybe Sky should get Katie Hopkins as a pundit. She would be better than anything BT has to offer
I don't think they'll quite get 90,000 in there, but I'd be surprised if the North London derby didn't get more than the current PL record (76,073 United vs Aston Villa 2007)
73,000+ there today, so not very far off bettering a full house at OT. They had 85,000 vs Monaco last season.
My opinion might be slanted because of what just happened but Lloris has let in some really pathetic goals. De Gea and Courtois are easily better than him, Cech is playing with a crap defence so I think he's a bit underrated. Mignolet I think is the only who comes close to being as poor as him.
Tottenham won't win the league anyway so Chelsea winning is a bad result. It's a huge boost for them after their chaotic start and gives them something to build on. I think Conte will have them bang in the mix again for the title.
They were bound to have the lion's share of possession though given the way Chelsea set out to play.
I think this Chelsea team won't fall off like people like to believe after the defeat last week. On their worst day they still have more cojones than the likes of Spurs, Pool and Arse.
Still better than Gerrard.
Great win for Chelsea all things considered.
so did City first like 10 games of last season. They were on fire and ended top 4 just... Xmas time will be the time to judge
Spurs got tactically outmanouvered by Chelsea...winning goal was down the right side of Spurs, wonder if Kyle Walker would have had a say in defending that. Terrible loss of possession and such a soft, soft goal to concede.
Joe Hart received some criticism last week for conceding Martial's goal so one should suspect Lloris to receive a massive bollocking....but that isn't usually the case now is it.

De Gea made a similar mistake last year at home to Stoke right?
Conte is such a prick
Bet Levy's eyes lit up at the thought of those sort of crowds, when in the end it might actually work against Spurs.
Bakayoko average?
Looks like a powerful runner but a bit of a dope.
Patched up? That was a strong starting 11 bar Bakayoko.
Didn't really notice Dele Alli today.
If we are 3 points of the top I would fancy us to take the title with the squad we have. But we may just be leading after the holiday fixtures.
Missing their best player Lou!
Looked lost against tight marking
Had some nice touches actually. He was one of Spurs best players and even nutmegged Willian with a nice piece of skill. How did you miss that?
looks a strong runner to me. and a good player, despite lack of fitness.
Oh and hes a bastard of a unit too. Huge
Ah but he's a character with passion...the media love that in this country
No, not on this chelsea side. Alex Sandro is a monster
