The race for the title

[eViL]

Whatever happens, how bloody amazing is it that we are in a title race

Yeah but the top four has been in a real mess this year and Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man U will be stronger next year with new.. WAIT A MINUTE!!!!

THIS IS REAL, ISN'T IT?

The only thing I'm worried about is the full back rotations. Hopefully Rose is back, but I wouldn't trust trippier defensively against the Palace wingers, nor against Arsenal or Chelsea. Which means walker might have to play 3 games in a week.

Trippy to provide a hattrick of assists next game he starts

Just hope our players aren't as mental as you lot.

Excitement can be fine but then if things strat to go a bit bad it turns to nervousness and worse.

Keep ourselves focused. Semi final next week.

United win was very important. A draw would make them 5 points ahead, and they could afford to draw two more matches. Now they can't.

Also, we wount win all our remaining games, but IT is essential that we keep winning until they drop more points. So maybe two more wins, and a one point gap - that will definately test them... COYS!

Marcos Alonso is a really important player for Chelsea. I believe today was the 4th game they lost in domestic league and cup games where he didn't start/play. Conte's system doesn't work without him and Moses both playing together. It seems that Conte said Alonso had just a virus, so he'll be back next Saturday.

I think if we win our last 6 games, we'll win it. Chelsea will drop at least 2 points at Everton, and the pressure on them in the other games will likely lead to at least one other draw (likely WBA away). West Ham and Leicester have been awful over the course of the season, but at home they'll be difficult games. We'll have 70% possession in each, so if we can score first, we'll win them. United, much more than Arsenal, could grab something at the Lane, but I see us beating them both.

Chelski will probably promise Lukaku a massive contract and he'll score 3 own goals

Why won't we win our remaining games?

We are the best, in form team with literally everyone, including the squad players, in the form of their lives. Any team facing us will have already half shat in their pants before kick off.

Whether Chelsea drop enough points for us to snatch it is another thing entirely, but I have confidence in us winning out.

It is possible, but statistically it is quite unlikely and you would probably Get a big win if you bet on it... but Chelsea will for sure fear us winning them all, and that can be to our advantage

I'd normally agree and I'd say that we weren't the best side in the league last season, Leicester were. But this season Chelsea are leading on the basis of two things: lack of European football which meant they can focus on the league and rest players and lack of inuries compared to ours. We are a better team them them, we've scored more goals and we've conceded less. The period that messed us up was in November when two of our best players went down which is the equivalent of Luiz and Hazard being out for a prolonged period, if that happened they wouldn't be top, in fact if they had Euro footy and suffered the same amount of injures as us I'm pretty sure we would have been ahead of them. In fact if you look at who's been out this season, Kane, Lamela, Alderweireld, Rose, Vertonghen who all suffered freak injuries and were out for 4 weeks or more we've had utterley horrendous luck.

Anyway it doesn't really mean much in all honesty and it doesn't really matter to me and the team who finish top deserves to win the league but in my honest opinion we were better this season and I think we'll beat them next week.

Chelsea's first XI have played on average 220 minutes of league football more than our first XI this season. Only Pedro and Moses have played less than 2,200 minutes - arguably two of their least important players, and Pedro has been a rotational choice with Willian - whereas Alderweireld, Rose, Dembele and Kane have all played less.

Well we collapsed last season. Hope the players are stronger mentally this season. 6 more games. Just play our best and let the pieces fall as they will.

Chavs last game is against sunderland, if we're still in the hunt by then you just know Defoe will be going balls out to help us win, assuming Sunderland have been relegated by then.

He could have both nuts out, plus his plonker with his foreskin peeled back and rocking a raging hard on... he still wouldn't be able to help that awful Sunderland side!

 

[tippspur59]

We can start to dream now.

I bet the bin dippers reckon they are in with a chance of winning it too......the deluded historian twats

Stay safe everyone and remember, it's the hope that kills you.

I wouldn't be susprised if they're loving in their own world by suggesting its a three horse race to make them ****s feel significant again.

It's a bit like the Truman show, they're being brainwashed into living their reality. No one considers them but they're having their own delusionally mental fucked up show

 

[Adam456]

The odds are still against but this really makes it realistic. I think everybody has covered all of the points but I would say this in addition - every game they lose under Conte and this 'unbeatable' side gives the opposing managers another video to analyse to see how to stop them. They are slowly getting figured out. At the moment we are almost uncounterable with the combination of super defensive solidity, being pedal to floor from the off, pressing like madmen and having a forward line at the top of their game. We are not giving opponents time to think about tactics.

The games they have lost and drawn to bring the gap down are already a surprise so to predict any individual result is just daft. We, on the other hand, look like winning every game we play but, realistically, finishing the season with 13 straight wins sounds like nonsense.

As I said at the start of the season, enjoy the ride ! This so beats season over in March

 

[Hazardousman]

i'm with you mate. if the unthinkable does happen i'll be off this site for a while as my celebrations will undoubtedly lead to jail time.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Chelsea's run in looks so much easier than ours doesn't it. Four home games and the only one looking remotely tricky is Everton away, and they are shit against the big teams. The rest are all fucking cannon fodder who are either dead already or wearing safe mid table beachwear already, culminating in fucking Sunderland at home ffs.

We've got Palace away who are the second form team right, pulling away from danger now and selhurst is always tricky, the chav cup final, Arsenal ( who are out of sorts but trying to stop us will be the biggest motivation they've had for months), Man Utd (who haven't lost for about 6 months), Revitalised Leicester away who will feel they owe Chelsea big time for last year and Hull away with a manager who's never lost a home game in his life.

Tough gig.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

If we fail to win all our games I think we'll see the biggest and most prolonged bout of kneejerk hissyfitting this site has ever seen. Everything else will pale in comparison

 

[Hazardousman]

please guys stop this talking of winning the league NOW!!! I can't take it anymore. Am trembling at the thought of watching the next 6 games apart from the semi! But I can dream. Let's take it one game at a time and enjoy this ride. COYMFS!! Do it for the supporters and let's give WHL a fitting finale!!

Yeah the semi will be the best part, to be fair, I will probably be able to crack solid cement if we win the double.

We are talking about the same thing right?
