When it comes to Tottenham Hotspur, a large portion of the fanbase are feeling very much in the doldrums; so what better way to raise the mood after a peaceful international break than... checks notes... Oh. Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
To say Spurs don’t have the greatest of records at the Bridge would be putting it mildly, and these derbies are always full of feeling and fury. Ange Postecoglou and his squad are under huge pressure to put together something resembling a complete performance; and anything less will not be enough to take any points from the other side of London.
We know that this Spurs side will show up, in some way, shape, or form; knowing which Spurs side will show up is the harder question to answer. Will it be the team that looks listless and loose; aggressive and incisive; or disjointed and discombobulated?
Let’s see.
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
