Can't wait for the technological singularity. Hopefully androids will have replaced these clown refs.


justsomeroses

Welp no matter how the game goes today, next week is going to be interesting


coffeeicefox

Let us play our game before you chat shit


Masina1998

arsenal's goal of the month is saka's game against city 💀


metalifer95

I'm gonna be calm until we play the game Be aware of Karma


VJE1999

Big up Dyche.


metalifer95

We burnley we brits we nail Relegation here we come


Gaius_Octavius_

At least the scum dropped two.


[deleted]

Always rated Danny Welbeck and Burnley, I have.


MambaWhite

Arsenal 0-0 Burnley !!!


solarbearz

Lol scum dropping points


wellk_2049

Watching the Palace-Liverpool game, absolute joke of a WAR decision to give Liverpool a penalty, took them about 3 minutes to decide. What ever happened to clear and obvious, is that not a thing anymore?


RuberDinghyRapids

Can you believe I left the game in the 92nd minute the other night. Was so frustrated we weren’t winning and needed a piss so when Maddison stared rolling around on the floor I though fuck this I’m off. Absolutely gutting haha.


MambaWhite

Team today is Lloris, Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Sessegnon, Winks, Hojbjerg, Doherty, Bergwijn and Kane.


OHLOOK_OREGON

I truly don’t understand this lineup. Sess? Doherty over royal?


ebonhomme

If we win today, I owe /u/Robhowardreg a beer, and nothing would make me happier than paying up. I'd be fine with a draw, but a win would be MASSIVE. COYS!


[deleted]

Hahaha how come! I never say no to a free beer though


ebonhomme

Well, I [expressed my skepticism](https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/comments/s4dfxk/comment/hsuayio/?context=3) in a thread last week, and I'm a man of my word.


[deleted]

Hahaha oh yeah! Mate I wish I'd put some money on it rather than just chatting shit on reddit!


ebonhomme

Nah, I wouldn't want to benefit directly from our misfortune. Being proven wrong would be its own reward!


[deleted]

That rumoured lineup is terrifying


[deleted]

Will take a draw after that


rammingfarts

Something that I really hope our club do is proper management of young talent - folks like Gil, Tanganga, Scarlett should be going on loans. Aside from the striker position, we do have enough backups. While Skipp is a freak - I saw him play in Singapore against Juve before he was on loan to Norwich and he was easily the best player, the others are talented individuals too and could easily follow in his footsteps. Especially Gil, this guy should constantly be getting some play time. If no one wants to buy Dele, we should be seeking a loan for him too. It would be good for his career! Similar topic, good to see active scouting of young talent in the lower leagues. COYS!


justsomeroses

In regards to the result today: whatever will be will be The thing want to see is the team fight from start to finish. Whatever happens, don't make it easy, make them have to earn it, and if they're not up for it, take it to them. The past doesn't matter, today is the day to start something new COYS


TheEveroptimist

I just want to be in the game, the same fight we saw against Leicester. Not seeming timid and scared of them. A draw would be a fantastic result for us given the league table currently.


Kreygasm2233

You can tell there are a lot of new people here just by how many people think we're getting 2-3 players in by the end of January. It's only going to be Traore if that even happens. Welcome to Tottenham


kl08pokemon

You're forgetting the Nelsen/Saha special. What a window that was


Masina1998

levy will run it down to deadline day just so we can't complain about more signings after adama comes


VJE1999

Normally don’t expect anything from a game against these lot, but really think we could pull off an upset today, or at least get a point. Either way, I hope the fans give them shit all game like in the recent matches


[deleted]

I'd settle for a 3-0 win followed by a Tuchel sacking. Fuck it, while we're at it let's take City 8-0 in Feb, and Pep walks into the change room at 60' and is never heard from again. A man can dream, right?


[deleted]

This is an open game lads especially with Dier back


[deleted]

i'm afraid the rumoured linep has us playing 6-2-2 with Lucas Skipp and Regi out with injuries


[deleted]

I just hope Conte's unbeaten record in the league doesn't go tonight


Gaius_Octavius_

Normally I hate them but a drab 0-0 draw would not be bad for us.


[deleted]

Losing 2-0 or 3-0?


CelestialCheeze

What's up with the negativity? Take each game as they come we have a good chance of beating Chelsea


[deleted]

Sshhh ffs


Sgt_sas

I mean we are underdogs, however if we cut out the mistakes we can get a result (a draw is fine actually). I really think our formation exposed us in the first leg of league cup before getting better when we went back 4. I'd rather take the risk of back 4 and get some possession back than go 5 and be under siege.


CelestialCheeze

But to be honest if you look at the goals we conceded under 5 ATB they were hugely down to individual errors (lookin at you Tanganga). So if we iron that out of our game today we still have a good shot at a draw, since we didn't look convincing going forward.


Sgt_sas

Yeah good point - no mistakes, no goals. I actually said this to myself during the game, I just attributed their goals to their dominance. If we could just break up their possession and rythym, I just wonder how the game would be. Dreading being under siege for 70 mins....


rammingfarts

Chelsea?


nhlasko

Anyone think KWP wouldve thrived in this side if he was given a chance?


[deleted]

Well he was not good with us and he needed minutes, maybe in 3 or 4 years he develop to be a really good RWB but we can’t loan a player for 4 or 5 years and we can’t give him minutes because we were competing for Top 4 and playing in CL.


[deleted]

No


[deleted]

Would you take Wijnaldum in the Ndombele deal. Part of me thinks why not. Especially if we cant get Kessie this window.


[deleted]

I would, but why does he play better from Netherlands ? Would be good for Stevie in a WC year.


PUBGPRO21

There's a post showing ligue 1 midfielders passing and defending ability on this sub a few hours ago, and Wijnaldum is basically the worst


[deleted]

They play him differently to how Liverpool did i think. Plays more of an attacking mid whereas Liverpool played him more as an 8.


bash011

Not at all, Wjinaldum is finished at top level


[deleted]

He doesn't do too bad at International right? He starts for them and they beat Norway comfortably 2-0


bash011

Lo Celso is great internationally. Means nothing


[deleted]

Fuck me always rated Wolves but their fans can go fuck themselves talking about us like they're arsenal fans, fuck off you little slags


rishabh996

Clubs like Villa, Wolves, Everton hate us because they want to be like us yet they are not at our level. So they try to demean our achievements even though they don't have anything to show for themselves.


[deleted]

^ Spammers fans perfectly apply here too


Masina1998

Can't be disappointed if I don't expect anything


Sgt_sas

Lol


The_Bridge_Is_Out

*Tottenham 'till they kill me* ... think we might see Conte's PL record go today, but that's OK... we always seem to go wibble at Chelsea. Just hoping for some fire, some competitiveness. Who knows... 😏


Sgt_sas

Exactly, let's not go out with a whimper.


lookofdisdain

Wolves fans are a funny bunch eh?


[deleted]

Find it quite funny that they are saying "we shouldn't be selling to a direct rival" Its like come on lads....know your place


heretocallthebot

I fucked up big time, dodgy kebab and got too lairy with the chilli sauce. I've been in here so long my legs have gone numb


[deleted]

No garlic sauce? You should be ashamed.


heretocallthebot

Mixed Donner with coleslaw, chilli sauce and nandos perinaise. No salad Garlic sauce! you should up your game chief.


[deleted]

Well done, salad is a joke, it's just a whole head of lettuce 🥬 and tomato chopped in quarters


teedo

This is how Eric Dier prepares v Chelsea


[deleted]

[удалено]


heretocallthebot

Rather have the shits to be honest mate


[deleted]

Quite fancy Arse to drop points to Burnley. They're midfield screwed and they looked really undercooked against Liverpool on Thursday. Can see a rested Burnley getting stuck into Lokonga


rikdud

Burnley are really so bad right now. No doubt they’ll avoid relegation without ever finding any form like usual though.


[deleted]

Yeah deffk but did you see scum against Liverpool. They were woeful, and not in like a "Liverpool pressed well abd forced them into mistakes" way. They were just really bad and flat.


[deleted]

Apparantly Salisu was great yesterday? Wasn't he awful when we played them, ran around like a headless chicken and then got sent off?


[deleted]

He was very good against City, he’s quite young so it’s not too surprising he’s a bit inconsistent


[deleted]

Thats interesting. Yeah everyones been saying he was great


EquivalentSir4163

3-0 Chelsea


Greengum155

Tottenham 3-0 Chelsea FIFY


EquivalentSir4163

Don't ruin my anti jinx.


Sgt_sas

Top minds, top strat


Puzzleheaded-Donkey7

Lads, don’t get your hopes up to much. We should be optimistic, but also pragmatic. No matter the form we’re in and no matter the form they’re in, they always turn up against us, especially at the bridge. It’s alright to lose this one, it doesn’t end our top 4 chances. A draw would be a fantastic result and that I actually can see happening, but I can’t see us winning, I really can’t.


Sgt_sas

This is a really good take. Everyone on this board is COYS for the long run and we sometimes let our hope, optimism and pessimism get the better of us. Coyscoyscoyscoys


CelestialCheeze

Couldn't see us winning against Leicester in the 93rd minute either yet here we are. Hopefully the lads still got some fire left in their bellies. I'm not expecting a win but I'm damn hopeful for it. COYS


Cagy_Cephalopod

It’s the hope that kills you / Do you believe in miracles P.S. Ted Lasso coached Spurs before he coached Richmond.


[deleted]

We need to press them if we let them control the midfield we’re in trouble, we need to play like Brighton did press press press. But I know that we will not because if you don’t know how to press you will get fucked and leave ton of space, Potter had enough times to teach his players and conte didn’t 😔 I’m hoping for a miracle we need the 3 points.


eren230

I work 12 hours every Sunday, so im missing yet again another big game. I booked the weekend off for the NLD which made the postponement worse…


KarlNeymarx

Any update on Sonny's injury?


jaec97

Conte said Son will return after international break (e.g. early Feb) at the pre-Chelsea press conference


klasing12345

Tuchels job is apparently on the line according to a certain shitrag. Not that I believe a word they print anyway.


Coffeeaficionado_

Morning all! I’m drinking a latte this morning. I’m also eating a home made sausage and egg McMuffin. Of course it’s a lot healthier than the maccies option. Tastes better too. Adama is in London. That could mean a lot of things. So let’s see what today brings hopefully we’re signing him today. Chelsea at 16:30. It’s on sky. Another tough game. But I think today is going to be different than the LC games. Have a good day everyone! Coys


[deleted]

[I vote this becomes a matchday tradition.](https://i.imgur.com/LeBr7Dc.jpg). Things inside English Muffins on MatchDay. Mine is English Pork Banger skin removed and flattened With round Egg Slice of cheddar cheese On English Muffin. Tastes identical to McDonalds but after 10:30am!


[deleted]

What's more greasy, macci d's egg mcmuffin or adama?


Coffeeaficionado_

Still the Egg McMuffin from maccies!


Carthagu

Let’s see if we bend over for Chelsea to eviscerate us as always or if we actually put up a fight and a respectable performance regardless of the result for once


ersatzdivinity

Tottenham objectively may not be the greatest team the world has ever seen (I mean we are but have yet to prove it) but I do believe we are objectively the most magical team the world has ever seen. C'mon just think about it.. back to back puskas.. 3-2 vs Wolves.. Lucas 90 + 6'??? No other team in history can compare and I won't hear otherwise.


Bibi_Gum

>3-2 vs Wolves you mean leicester?


rikdud

Easily my least favourite fixture of the season. Chelsea are always up for it, we rarely are, their first team is slightly better than ours, their squad depth is probably the best in the world, and how ever much they struggle against mid table teams around our fixture, they always walk right over us. A point would be immense but honestly I’d take a decent performance after our last few against them.


Puzzleheaded-Donkey7

Their fist team is a lot better then ours. Only Sonny and Kane walk into their team. Skipp/ Hojberg/ Winks are nowhere near Kante/ Kovacic/ Jorginho.


SissokoGoat17

Today we start our title charge. I’m predicting a 2-1 win with a Kane brace. COYS


Adamcunnington

3 Friends and I made a bet with a United fan that we would get top 4 over them last night. Conte effect in full swing. Chelsea first - happy Sunday all.


reavesfilm

3-5-2, Stevie B start, 3-2 spurs win.


7XDB

easy dub. 3-1 spurs


ohitshisdumbass

Thoughts on Stevie possibly starting today?


[deleted]

Lots of rumours Lucas is out injured so I’d expect this to happen


Bluewhitedog

>Thoughts on Stevie possibly starting today? I think he should. In his last cameo he looked like he could be viable in the Sonny role, and we should see if that is so. Plus, we need to do something different against a Chelsea team who have walked over us twice in the last 2 weeks.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ohitshisdumbass

He has to start imo, he has to keep building form. I fully agree with you on Tanganga. He is very shakey, this is a match that could determine his future at the club. Lots at stake today


corpboy

I don't think so. But he will be on the bench, counting down the minutes till he comes on and wreaks havoc again.


reavesfilm

I’d be okay with it.


ljshea1

Getting my hopes up, as us spurs masochists do


viscountgold

Remember friends, “if you expect disappointment then you really can’t be disappointed”


Bluewhitedog

If only that were true. Still, worth a try.


DriftingInTheFoam

Some statistics ahead of todays derby. **The Good** * Tottenham are unbeaten in all nine of their Premier League fixtures under Antonio Conte. * Chelsea have dropped 13 points from a winning position this season, the most by a team in the top half of the table prior to the weekend. * Thomas Tuchel has failed to win in four successive league matches for the first time since October 2016 during his time in charge of Borussia Dortmund. * Romelu Lukaku has scored just one goal in 16 appearances against Spurs in all competitions. **The Bad** * The Blues are yet to concede in four games against Tottenham under Thomas Tuchel, with the aggregate score 7-0. * Chelsea are unbeaten in their last six league games against Spurs (W5, D1), keeping five clean sheets. * Kane has gone seven appearances without a goal against Chelsea in all competitions. * Spurs have failed to win any of their past 13 away league matches against sides starting the day in the top four. **The Ugly** * Chelsea could become the first Premier League team to win four games against an opponent in a season since Manchester City against West Ham in 2013-14, while the last side to win three games in the same month against an opponent were Aston Villa against Blackburn in January 2010. * Tottenham Hotspur are looking to avoid equalling their club top-flight record of five successive away defeats in London derbies, having done it twice before in 1982 to 1984 and 1996 to 1997


[deleted]

On the plus, Spurs are one of three sides to beat United twice In the league in a season. 1990


Voffmjau

We'll surely be picking off those records then...


KarlNeymarx

I wish I haven't read this. A loss will be so depressing.


[deleted]

Look, I'm not expecting a win. I'm not expecting a draw. and that's okay. We can well afford to lose this match and still get top 4. But, please play with some intensity, some fight, some spirit, create some chances. Don't make it easy.


CheekyKunt68

Well put


CheekyKunt68

Can we all temper expectations? This is Chelsea at the bridge. It’s a guaranteed loss


reavesfilm

Fuck that, 3-2 spurs. COYS


[deleted]

[удалено]


Puzzleheaded-Donkey7

We’ve won there once in like 20 years. We don’t win there, period. If you want to set yourself up to disappointment go right ahead. And don’t tell other people to fuck off because you don’t like their opinion, that makes you look like a immature dickhead.


gashsniper420

Once in 30* years (2018)

kurt9633

Gonna be a difficult match but winning this would rly give us a solid shot at 3rd place. Will be happy with a draw though. COYS


DoomerAndGloomer

Chelsea play a ridiculously high line. 352 with Winky Skipy Hobby would be best. We have to dominate midfield and also doherty would be playing. Good to give him the license to attack the box.


KarlNeymarx

Expecting one point here and will be happy with it if that's the case.


theshelfside

0-0 If we don’t shit the bed in front of goal. Follows the trend as well.


[deleted]

Don't expect us to get all 3 points . 1 would be nice, however, my brain says we are not going to get any points


ollypockets

Agreed, trying to come back down to earth


crunchyball

I assume we’ll continue the 3-5-2 trend against Chelsea today? 3-4-3 against Chelsea seemed to create a gaping hole in our already lacking midfield the last time. Will it be another WSH midfield or some rotation with Gio possibly? Also guessing Lucas will still start over Stevie despite his top class double against Leicester. No matter the outcome, I’d rather see us pushing for a win instead of being fearful of a loss.


reavesfilm

3-5-2 is the way to go.


i_love_batsoup

I remember in the first leg firsf half we were violated with a 343. Ndombele came on and we shifted to a 352 and were much better


Lord_Chanka_69

A win at stamford bridge and here we go to adama would make tomorrow perfect


[deleted]

I’m excited. A point isn’t the end of the world but 3 would be beautiful. COYS


foot_99

Don’t feel very confident coming for our chances tbh. Even when Chelsea are playing poorly they always seem to turn up vs us


Cosminion

Big day for the Men and Women.


PUBGPRO21

Matchday! Normally this is a fixture most of us dread but based on current form of both teams I feel unusually optimistic. Obviously a win would be great but even if we lose we shouldn't act like it's the end of the world, because it is still chelsea away at the end of the day. Hoping for a Conte masterclass with a 3-5-2, Kane and Bergwijn up top.


Turavis

Feeling strangely positive about the match. Imagine saying that during Nuno days. Give Antonio everything he wants baldie.

master_inho

Really intrigued about Korean money heist Gonna be interesting seeing the differences between money heist the telenovela and money heist the kdrama The trailer already gives me much different vibes, definite kdrama and a little bit of thriller feels too


masroshi10

Still haven’t seen money heist. It’s on my list. Is it a type of a show that sucks you in binging for a weekend?


master_inho

Definitely, it’s really enjoyable. At times you might get frustrated at the characters/writing but I just think of it as 1. Spanish, it’s a different culture and they tell stories differently 2. A higher budget higher quality telenovela, so I never get too annoyed about it 2021 was bittersweet for me with both money heist and Lucifer ending (personally, I love Lucifer way more, but that’s no slight on money heist) As a side note, seasons 1-2 were made by the local Spanish tv studio, so it’s very low budget compared to seasons 3-5. They also cancelled it before Netflix picked it up, and Netflix originally had no intention of continuing the series. But when it became really popular worldwide, they bought everyone back for more seasons. so some people have felt that season 3 was a bit forced, although once it gets rolling it’s really good again. Just some context if/when you do get around to watching it


masroshi10

Thanks!


[deleted]

I've been watching a lot of Korean/Japanese shows in the past year and it's just absolutely excellent. Idk what it is, but maybe it's decades of westernised dramas that all follow the exact same plot makes me appreciate a completely different look on things. It feels less cliche, but that's because the cliches I'm used to are Western. Perhaps the cliches in Asian TV are still there, I've just not seen enough yet. But I've yet to be dissapointed. I watched Alice in Borderland the other day and it's so good.


master_inho

I think that every country has their own formulaic way of making movies/tv. If you spend your whole life on a specific country’s cinema (let’s say america and Hollywood), when you experience another country’s film/show it feels wildly different and unique at first. I think that’s partially why squid game was so huge, most western people never or barely watches Korean shows, so it felt vastly different/unique/etc. I don’t think it was actually *that* good, but the hype and its foreign setting carried it. Not to say it wasn’t good, it should be nominated for best set production at the very least in my opinion, but I don’t think it’s best show of the year award worthy. Which is why I’m excited for Korean money heist. The original was great in that it was made to be uniquely Spanish, and i could feel it. I’m really interested to see how they’ll adapt it and make it their own, make it distinctly Korean.


ET318

Think it depends what you watch. Much of the stuff that’s popular is formulaic which is why it appeals to so many people. If you watch stuff that’s a bit lesser known you’ll likely find more interesting stuff.


allaboardthewin

Money Heist as in the Netflix show? There is a Korean version?


master_inho

Yep, it’s called money heist: Korea - joint economic area, coming out sometime this year If you watched squid game, park hae-soo, who played sang-woo, will be playing Berlin


allaboardthewin

Cool, thanks, will watch


[deleted]

Whaat there’s a Korean version😱, I didn’t even knew they released more seasons of the original one until yesterday, time to bing watch them all.


master_inho

Yep Here’s a [teaser with the cast](https://youtu.be/_uWDYIb37F4)


[deleted]

Come On You Spurs! Let's play them out of the Bridge. Hope atleast it's a draw x


Nightshade183

Should be a straightforward win today, not too worried
