Why are Spurs fans acting like they're the only ones with injured and suspended players? Last season Chelsea had like 11-12 players who could make the first team squad out for months due to injury and United this season. They were laughing when it happened to others. But it doesn't feel nice when it happens to you, does it?
Yep. No sympathy for them, esp not this season with all the injuries happening across the league.
And I’m sure during that time a lot of Chelsea fans were annoyed with the situation. I think any neutral would acknowledge spurs’ injury and suspension situation as a major hurdle to winning games so seems a very normal thing to complain about and I don’t see where anyone is saying other teams don’t have injury issues
