Remember, remember the fifth of November? Four months have passed since that fateful day at White Hart Lane - the day Tottenham finally lifted the hex Chelsea held over them since 1987. No more Three Point Lane taunts. There are no points to play for in this game, just a place in the next round and an [...]
It seems incredible that after two consecutive Premierships, currently in the hunt for a third and alive and well in the Champions League, that anyone should want to doubt Jose Mourinho.

Eidur Gudjohnsen and Hernan Crespo will spearhead the Blues attack in tomorrow’s crunch Champions League semi-final first leg in Monaco.
