If Liverpool won the CL and one of our players said "well done", I'd want them out of the club immediately, so I can see exactly where Spurs fans are coming from.

It's actually a bit unprofessional from Saha in particular. Those fans pay his wages.

Wouldn't really call it unprofessional. You shake hands with people after you lose a match or win a match. You wouldn't see the Bayern Munich fans calling Robben a tit and telling him to go die because he congratulated the Chelsea players would you ?
 

many footballers aren't caught up in the politics of rivalries like fans. that's why someone like gallas could play for chelsea, arsenal and spurs and feel he hasn't betrayed no one. i should imagine the likes of pienaar and saha would have friends at chelsea and therefore felt no way in proclaiming their congratulations on twitter. texting would have been more appropriate considering the sensitivities of fans though.

It's local rivals and they weren't involved in the match. For a Spurs fan, everything about it was a bad situation - your rivals win a major tournament and in the process costs you European football. Those fans will go into work and have it rammed down their necks by Chelsea fans on Monday morning.

Saha and Pienaar should have said nothing whatsoever. If they have mates at Chelsea, fine, send them a text or an email.
 
I guess its the fact its on a public forum like twitter. No need to broadcast it knowing full well you will get a reaction. Worse for Spurs fans too due to the fact Chelsea just knocked them out.
 

Nothing in it - and i wouldn't be fussed if one of our players congratulated 'the other lot' if they were to win it. Call it professional courtesy.
 
No problem with rivals congratulating each other

Doing it on twitter, when it means your current employer is a relegated to the Europa League as a direct result is surely gonna spark a few fires, especially when it looks like you're leaving in the short term future too. If an Everton player did that, you'd be thinking WTF.

Hopefully good news for us obviously. Pienaar has snidermanned Spurs there for sure.
 
obviously aside fron what i've already put i'm absolutley delighted Spurs fan are up in arms as a i can't stand them, their club, and especially their horrible crook of a manager. Couldn't happen to a nicer lot...

Well deserved by Chelsea - throughout the knock-out rounds they've seen off teams that accounted for other Prem teams without too much trouble and beaten two of the best teams in Europe in the semi & final. Can't really argue with that.
 
Pair of [Poor language removed] in my book.

They should have more respect for their clubs and it's fans.
