We all enjoyed Tuchel v Conte on Sunday but let’s not pretend that they ‘came to blows’ or that Conte took to Instagram to ‘threaten’ Tuchel…
They think it’s brawl over
‘LONDON BRAWLING’ is a lovely headline but it does rather suggest a ‘brawl’, which absolutely did not happen during Chelsea v Tottenham, no matter how hard we try to inflate the silliness between some rather angry men.
The Sun are more than happy to stoke those flames, claiming that ‘Conte and Tuchel initially came to blows’ (they didn’t) and twice referring to a ‘mass brawl’. Mediawatch is unsure on the correct etymology here but we are pretty convinced that a ‘mass brawl’ has to include some actual, you know, brawling. Not just pointing and really long, painful handshakes.

‘The Chelsea boss was far from happy with the positioning of Jorginho, repeatedly asking the 30-year-old to move wider to help mark Dejan Kulusevski, while Kante’s distribution also frustrated the German.’
And that, ladies and gentleman, ‘offers clue into Frenkie de Jong plan’.
Hmmm. What it actually offers is a clue into how desperate some outlets are for clicks.
I was only joking, my dear…

‘‘Making you trip would’ve been well deserved’ – Conte ramps up Tuchel feud by wishing he TRIPPED him in Chelsea v Spurs’
Oh it’s a ‘feud’ now. A ‘prolonged and bitter quarrel or dispute’ that lasted literally hours.
‘ANTONIO CONTE continued his feud with Thomas Tuchel long after the two bosses had headed home from the Battle of the Bridge 2.0.
