sack the spurs supporting chef

What happened at Clapton on Saturday? A fight and the wrong man arrested? Second incident in the past few weeks.

He is alluding to the fact that Spurs failed to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge once again. Interestingly, in the 22 years that John Terry has been with the club, Spurs have never won at Stamford Bridge. Not really "spoiling"; more one of a few occasions when Spurs choked and ended up third in a two horse race.

From what I heard from friends last night (I wasn't there again, this is what happens), it started with a Union Jack flag which someone thought had been brought 'as a provocation', turned into a scuffle, and an eccentric non-league type Ilford fan who wasn't really involved ended up getting hit.

It's another shameful incident which really shouldn't have happened and it's shit that it's the second incident in two games.

Especially seeing as there are loads of pictures on Twitter of the Clapton players giving out Easter eggs to the kids in the crowd, which is a much nicer thing to talk about!

PSG vs Metz - proper barmy game.

Rashford is quite good isn't he?

The Ilford manager didn't exactly help things, he looked like he was about to bust a blood vessel offering out the Clapton fans. From what I could make out (although I was on the far side of the stand) it looked like he was also inciting the Ilford fans to come over to the scaffold and get involved. Mug.

Dat header by Saul. Class.

Funny how tentative and unsure Robben looks when he receives the ball on the left side where he's got to go outside someone rather then cutting in and cracking one.
Really even game so far, Ronaldo would have still been complaining if benzema had done what he did on a two on one, and shot rather than passing to the open man for the tap in.

Classic Robben

Enjoying extra time. Very end to end. Apart from my US stream.

Not fun any more.

great performance from Leicester tonight. they really went at it in the second half. loved it.

Had money on a Ronaldo hat trick - just about manageable seeing his horrid smug face

1-1 in the first leg of the final today. Chelsea dominated but came close without scoring too often. Citeh scored a soft one. All to play for in the second leg at home a week tomorrow.

Looking like a really interesting semi final line up if the scores stay as they are, Monaco, the two madrid sides and juventus.

Juve vs Monaco
Real vs Atletico

Please

Cuadrado not doing too bad since leaving Chelsk

Hoping for a Monaco atletico final myself..

I know Barca are going to lose tonight, but neymar has been immense, never afraid to drive at the juve defence, beating two, three, four players consistently, with pace or tricks, the only thing missing has been his final ball. A big thing admittedly, but it's been like watching Brazil recently where it's give it to neymar and let him weave his magic...
Barca need to refresh and retool and new manager is going to have their work cut out with the important players in the team ageing out, but they could do worse than let neymar take a more prominent role..

Adios >>>

West Ham have said we can buy Enner Valencia for £12m

😂😂😂😂😂😂🙄

I actually like the guy but he's not really necessary. We've already got Kone, don't need another bench warmer.

I reckon West Ham could use him. He can't make them much worse.

EDIT: Didn't realise Kone was out of contract at the end of the season. Meh. It wouldn't be that bad if we got him. £12m is a bit steep though. Better the devil you know maybe.

On 31 August 2016, Valencia signed for Everton on a season-long loan, with the option of a permanent £14.5m move in the summer of 2017

So has he really got much worse whilst he's been with us?
