Spurs 2 - 1 Chelsea

This was the first of the more difficult games in our run in and inevitably it ended in a defeat that actually could have been much heavier. To say the Blues didn't turn up (which we didn't) would be harsh on a Spurs side who were at it from the off. They were hungrier, quicker and should have put the game out of sight at the start of the second half when leading 2-0, Defoe was clean through and missed - shades of a certain FA Cup quarter final.

Tweeting this shambles was difficult but here you go

• After ManU's injury time escape earlier today thoughts turn to WHL. Deco, Malouda and Cole all start. Ash makes the bench

• Spurs start brightly using plenty of width to stretch the play. Malouda draws a good save from Gomez on 6mins but Spurs are on top.

• Spurs have a pen shout waved away on 13mins but get one for a JT hand ball a minute later. Defoe makes it 1-0 and its a huge goal to concede

• Replays show the JTs handball as a bit suss but the Blues were too deep & got punished. Pav' draws a great save from Cech on 24mins.

• Bentley misses a sitter on 30mins. Mikel is struggling so Ballack's on & Deco holds. Malouda rolls Dawson to net on 38mins but its offside

• Too many Blue passes getting blocked thru the middle & we're caught by a quick counter on 43mins as Bale skins Ferreira to drive past Cech.

• Carlo makes a double sub at half time with Nic & Bran on for Ferreira and Cole. All subs used but Drogba is hurt in warm up - wot now !!

• Defoe breaks clean thru on 48mins 1on1 with Cech who makes a gr8 save. This is really ragged. JTs booked on 60min & then sent off 2mins l8r

• The title charge is unravelling. Bently trys a wonder chip on 74min but Cech tips over. Bran drives just over on 77min but its all Spurs

• Cech saves from Bale on 81mins & Dawson makes a gr8 block on Drogba a min l8r. Bale & Pav miss 2 more easy chances as we go into injury time

• 5mins of injury time & Lamps connects with a cross from Bran for 2-1. Alex misses a header, the Spurs fans panic but its too little too late

To equalise would have been a travesty. we were well beaten and now have to face an inevitably bruising encounter with Stoke at home without JT.
