Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea, Sunday 15th April, Wembley Stadium, 6pm kick off,
ITV1
THFC1882 asks Kenny Palmer for his preview and thoughts on the match that could dictate
the rest of Tottenham's season.
To misquote the lyrics of Ossie's dream Spurs are on their way to Wembley their knees have gone
all trembley, could be referring to the teams recent performances in a dreadful run of 1 win in 8
as they come into Sunday's pivotal game.

We'd say this was a spoof if we weren't quite so certain that it's probably the real deal...
Via: ??? (We're not entirely sure. If you know whose handiwork this is, let us
know and we'll dole out the credit due)

Chelsea lost a game of football last night, and a fairly high-profile one at that against Napoli
in the last 16 of the Champions League. Their ropey, porous defence was breached three times by
one of the most coveted forward lines in world football.

This has just hit Twitter, a photo of what is supposed to be Andres Villas-Boas'
tactics/teamsheet for Chelsea's Champions League tie against Napoli in six hours time that was
apparently found by an Italian journalist having been left in Chelsea's team hotel, The Vesuvio,
this afternoon.
In the last year he was one of the best player for Juventus, but the advent of Antonio Conte's
era at Juventus seems to have stopped the rising of Milos Krasic in the club.
When he arrived in Italy in the last year he was received by Juventus fans as the "New Nedved",
both for his role in the field (left wing) and for his moves which are very similar to those of
former Juventus and Lazio player.
A lot will made of Chelsea's lost against Arsenal last weekend. The defensive mistakes that
cost the team have been a feature of their season throughout.
Rightly or wrongly much of the blame will be laid at the feet of Andres Villas-Boas. He is in
charge of the team and is shaping it in the mould of Porto's offensive play.
Easily one of the most underrated aspects of football is the prematch press conference
photography. Before the Champions League? It's magic. Dozens of photogs clamoring for the best
facial expressions, angles and moments of maniacal madness.
Andres Villas Boas appears as though he's running through the cycle of emotions posed by an
acting class teacher, while Massimiliano Allegri is looking to explode someone's brain with his
own.

Andre Villas Boas got his Chelsea career off to a winning start with a 1-0 win against Portsmouth
