I was a bit annoyed by Hazard's pre-match talk but TBH the way Spurs sliced them open in the first half showed exactly why Chelsea are where they are this season. The second-half fightback is the least any fan should expect from a top team playing at home. Spurs collapse into thuggery was more amusing.

I'm doing it in an each-way double with Leciester to win the Champions League

Spot on Nova. And the publicity has been fantastic for the bookies as well. Not to mention all the early cash-outs from panicky punters that haven't been able to hold their nerves. None quite as bad as that poor soul that cashed-out his 5000/1 bet for 45p after the first match of the season.....
