Football365 - Cuti Romero went feral during Spurs' draw at Chelsea on Sunday. It was everything Antonio Conte would want to see from his players.

Romero is inexplicable. You’ve probably seen it by now, the hair pull that made Peter Crouch’s World Cup effort look like a gentle caress. And for a manager like Conte – a man on a mission to de-Spurs Spurs – the hair tug was a surreal, early-season dream sequence that perfectly manifested the unhinged soul of the trophy-winning Tottenham team he wants to construct. Just look at the baffled expression on the face of Richarlison – a man who’s had his own run-ins with Romero – as the Argentine covers James in a shower of rage-flavoured spittle. As Spurs’ players wheeled away to celebrate, Romero made a beeline for Reece James, screaming in the face of the full-back, who must have thought he’d won the game with the fine 77th-minute goal that sparked a Mourinho tribute celebration from Tuchel. Then came the unsolicited sex masochism, the peak of fucked-up shithouse weirdness in a game that was overflowed with it, as much from the touchline as on the pitch.
