fortune favors the strong. Chelsea has been playing really well, and getting the best out of their players. I can't have bad belle for them.
...they will be brought down to earth vs. Spurs, and could cause them to spiral out losing the epl lead.
is this based on any logic, or it's just feelings/religious belief?

Conte’s side adapted impressively, however. Hazard and Willian realised they were under close scrutiny and started to vary their positions more dramatically, with Hazard drifting into midfield and Willian moving across into an inside-left role. United were still attempting to man-mark, but Jones and Darmian clearly felt uncomfortable crossing to the opposite side of the pitch, and often let their opponents run free. Willian showed some lovely touches in possession, particularly with a couple of backheels into the path of team-mates which quickened the tempo, while Hazard became the game’s key player.
Yes there were not many passing lanes but the ball was mostly with Chelsea players and they switched the ball around at the back which was why the game was in Chelsea's half during that first 15 minutes. It wasn't because Man U players were doing anything with the ball.
If your team lost the first game at SB by 4, it is expected that you come back a bit more defensive in your approach, never mind that Mo was accusing Chelsea of being defensive,
I wished Chelsea had scored those 2 goals that De Gea saved, then this discussion won't take place.
same here. For both shots, the game was 11 v 11
Yes we did start defensive and were growing into the game.
With the lineup (and missing players) I was expecting more than 1-0 defeat prior to KO
As the game wore on, i felt we genuinely had a chance.
This is the best that any team has played Chelsea at SB since your early season struggles

Chelsea don't have the Grace of God at all. People are celebrating victory over the devil today, yet they could not defeat the Red Devils.

Thanks for reminding breda tfco that ManU didn't have a shot on target during the entire first half while CFC was winning corner kicks and fks left and right in their half and calling Dea Gea to make at least two absolutely world class saves to keep the score even at 11 v 11. .

I agree with coach, this is probably Arsenal's best chance. It's the organized teams who have a plan that worry Arsenal the most. City will at least let the Gunners play. The only question is "do the Gunners have the testicular fortitude to actually punch back or will they sit and take a dozen slaps as they've done against bayern, chelsea, city, liverpool, United (they threw one punch back and the glass jawed Mourinho boys fell).
Nor be only testicles..i hope the phallus is there too...City will beat them like the bata drums of Olubadan.

This is rich coming from a team that finished 6th in the league and around 30 pts out of 1st place. CFC won 2 out of 3 gams vs ManU en route to winning the league whereas ManU and Jose finished last out of the top 6. What these folks are celebrating, frankly I don't see. The number top domestic prize is to be champion of your league and Chelsea took it this season. End of ..

The point is you have no point because I've never gone anywhere - win, lose or draw. As for CL and 7 days rest, Chelsea has never participated in the CL previously, played in later rounds (QFs and Semi's) and still won the league multiple times previously abi? It's more difficult but it's been done before by CFC. This is the only season that CFC won the premier league without participating in the CL out of the last 5 league titles they won. Besides which CL did Jose coach in to justify a 6th place league finish? Has Chelsea not won Europa league in the recent past and still finished 3rd in the league? The point is Jose does not have an excuse to finish 6th this season. Na wetin suppose consign you since na Jose FC be your club

I am surprised that you are confused. In my opinion, Jose had a terrible season. I made it clear that anything less than top 2 + 2 trophies was a failure.
Even as a capital failure,
Jose won 3 trophies and Chelsea won 1. This is a fact, and it is indisputable.
As for what you said here:

Who were the coaches?
Do you know Conte's record in CL with Juventus? Juve was miserable under him in CL because he didnt know how to manage it. Since Conte left Juve, they have excelled in CL, getting the the final TWICE, with a chance to win it. And dont forget that Conte had a much better team than Allegri. He had the likes of Tevez, Vidal, Pogba, Pirlo...etc. Allegri has had to use weaker players and is on the cusp of a treble! something Conte couldnt smell.
