We’ll need to win pretty much every home game bar maybe Liverpool and avoid defeats at OT and SB to do it imo. Very tough ask.

To dare is to do, if we go on a good run and Leicester or Chelsea start to slip a few results Jose will be the master at putting the pressure on the others.

Its very unlikely and I’ve kind of given up on top4 to be honest which may not be a bad thing in order to have a crack at the league

I think Leicester are the obvious team in the current top 4 we might be able to overhaul. There squad doesn't have the depth of the others, so they could have a significant enough blip, though they don't have European football to worry about.

We'd have to be very, very good from here on, but it's not completely over just yet. We'll have a better idea come January.

True. I am guessing that they will do the same as the season they won the league and put all focus into the league. Then next season once they are in Europe they will struggle more as juggling multiple competitions is difficult.

Top 4 is kind of irrelevant now as we’ll qualify for the CL by winning it this season but would still be nice to get top 4 as well ;)

Thats the biggest thing going for us at the moment, Arsenal and Man U are a shit show as well so theres still a place at the table up for grabs.
I'm also, despite the media hype, waiting for the wheels to fall off at Chelsea.
OnTS today they said Lampards proved he's a great manager as well as a great player. Really??? After 3 months? Ok guys, whatever.

8 and 9 points behind 2nd to 4th and they have a game in hand.

I would say it is still on as a long shot.

It's a long shot but it's a long way to go.

Christmas time is normally a period where you can close the gap because of the b2b games so we will see, we'll probably have a better idea then.

10 points is nothing, we're not even at the New Year stage.

All it takes is one team to go through a bad run.

We're chasing two teams in Leicester and Chelsea, that helps us.

Absolutely. Nothing to say Leicester or Chelsea won't go through a bad patch. Amazing how much confidence a win can do.

Leicester are really getting on my fucking nerves. The wankers can’t stop winning and it’s starting to mirror their bloody title winning season where you keep expecting them to slip up, yet they win every week. Fuck em, inbred ****s!!!!

Yeah Leicester are annoying but I'd take them getting top 4 over our other rivals as long as we're in it.

It's a long shot. Not sure we've turned any sort of corner yet and Leicester and Chelsea seem to have plenty of confidence. Ironically, I'd say a drop into the Europa League might be a reasonable option but not a route I'd want to take.

Chelsea lose to City and it’s 9 points between us and we still haven’t played them yet. If we can get some form going we’ll see how Lampard can manage it
