Chelsea are decent, but they are way behind us, in my opinion. They've simply been very fortunate in that they have had no injuries and they have won two or three games that they were very close to dropping points in and deserved to drop points in. It isn't like Leicester last year, Chelsea have genuine quality, they just aren't as good as us and don't deserve to be 7 points clear at this stage. But they are and that's reality so we have to accept it. But there are nine games left and they have just lost to a team in 16th place. The lowest team we have lost to all season is currently in fifth place. They have only taken 2/3rds of the last 15 available. If they can stop the rot and make their advantage count then fair play to them but they haven't done it yet and it is far from certain that they will. Wednesday is massive, the biggest two games of the season so far.

Not following this part....give who confidence?
I dont think we need a City win to be honest. We are 12pts ahead of Woolwich, so for me a draw, or if anyone has to lose then let it be City. Arse can do us a favour and keep City 5 points behind us on equal games, while staying 9pts behind us themselves with just one game in hand - and still having to come to WHL.
Ive been saying it for a few weeks now, but fuck Woolwich. Look at the table and ask yourself if that was any other team tomorrow, bar Chelsea and Liverpool, would you consider a City win better for us?
I think he meant a win would give citeh an added boost going to the chavs on Wednesday. That's how I read it. For now, I don't think we should be looking over our shoulder. If we can nudge past Swansea & Citeh can take points off the chavs, it all starts warming up nicely. Double, anyone?
Been out of the loop this week and didn't see the game so could anyone answer these questions:
1. How did Janssen and Sissoko fare?
2. Why no Walker?
3. Will we win the league?

Janssen was very good in my opinion, link up and strength was top notch. Sissoko was poor.
Walker, no idea
Yes
Noticed that earlier and came.Just realized, all I've been thinking about is us closing the gap on Chelsea and not us going 12 clear of Woolwich.
Barring some sort of ISIS uprising in England or an asteroid collision, neither of which I'm prepared to rule out100%, a City victory tomorrow almost condemns Woolwich to finishing below us.
Little steps
Then Chelsea in the semi
Then beating the cunts in the last WHL NLD
Then beating the cunts in the FA Cup
Then beating United at WHL to win the Double
Then I can die a happy man
Janssen did fine. Worked his butt off today. Sissoko put in legitimately one of the worst performances I've ever seen. He has the first touch of a toddler.
The way Eriksen battled to win that ball and then ping it out to Dele was fucking brilliant.
Put him in a USA kit with that first touch and he'd look right at home (outside of Pulisic).
Enjoy , I would never suggest otherwise. The league dosnt lie and Chelsea are above us so for me, it's meaningless how many points we have won, unless we achieve something.
If this happened, I will definitely get a tattoo! But will people stop getting my hopes up please, I don't know if I can cope with another collapse like last year.
I couldn't believe my eyes ......... especially as he was up against Barton .... nice to see him get stuck in
Good, bad and the ugly. Possibly?
Agree but we mustnt forget the silly points we have dropped . Are we deserving being 7 pts behind, yes?
I think it's a bit of a misconception that Eriksen doesn't get stuck in, he's a hard worker defensively.. He just has a habit of sometimes ducking 50/50s in the air usually!
