Very little in life is truly dependable, the Moon follows the Sun, Christmas comes after Thanksgiving, Chelsea never lose to Tottenham ...... oops !
After 32 league games and 16 years, Spurs finally beat Jose's warriors and the White Hart Lane faithful celebrated like it was Arsenal, maybe even more so. Talking of the Gunners, I never knew Arsene Wenger was so fiesty, is he a giant or is Alan Pardew tiny ? Please bear in mind that 2.032m (6ft 8 inches) officially qualifies you as a giant !
It may not be such a huge rivalry, but tonight in Portugal's Superliga, there is another such sequence. Porto, looking to cement their position as league leaders, travel to play Setubal, the last time they lost to them, Methuselah was still in short trousers.
They are 9-1-0 in the last 10 meetings at the do Bonfim Stadium, 14-1-0 in the last 15 counting home and away fixtures, 7 of which they have won by 3 goals or more.
Coach Jesualdo Ferreira, made only one change to the squad that defeated Hamburg in the midweek Champions League tie, Vieirinha replacing Joao Paulo, the following all made the trip south .......
Alan, Bosingwa, Bruno Alves, Bruno Moraes, Cech, Fucile, Hélder Postiga, Helton, Jorginho, Lisandro Lopez, Lucho González, Paulo Assunção, Pepe, Quaresma, Raul Meireles, Ricardo Costa, Tarik Sektioui, Vieirinha and Vítor Baía.
Only the bottom two sides have scored less than goal shy Vitoria and they look in for another very long night.
5 points Porto 1.52 Betfair.
Back shortly.
Good Luck.
