if both us and arsenal win our remaining fixtures that 2-2 at Wigan will be one of the most important points we picked uppoor how we are in this situation again, the wigan 2-2 is like aston villa away last season. But if it means we put on a 5* show v chelsea I do not care, we need to show there is not much of a gap between 3rd-5th place in this league. COYS
games like this is when we need sandro ;/
On the basis of what I have seen we are not capable of "settling" for a draw, we cannot park the bus as our defence cannot cope especially against Chelsea, the only form of defence we know is to attack, we don't seem to be able to defend corners and when we sit deep or play pass back I always get nervous as I've lost count of the amount of times we have given teams chances in those situations, the Chavs will literally stroll it against by 2,3 or 4 if we play that game.A win and it remains in our hands, but a draw and I'd still say we have a good shout. It is must not lose for me, I'd rather we 'settle' for a draw than go all out for a win and get taken apart and lose.
If we draw we'll be in the Europa next year
Even if we win it will be tight - anything less than a win at Stamford Bridge and it's all she wrote
If Bale scores another last minute screamer which wins us the match... Imagine.
I think I'd go into a state of delirium
I totally agree... The minute 85 keeps jumping out at me, I've been daydreaming about it big time!If that happens, I've been dreaming about it lol, I fear for the peace on my street. It would be absolutely mental, even more so than City a few years back - because its Chelsea, what they did to us last year, its the AVB factor - it would be one of most epic moments in prem history for us given the significance of it.

I really want it for AVB on a personal level, Spurs aside. He was treated like a shit by that soulless club and it will be his big moment to give a huge middle finger to all those involved in his execution.
Yeah I agree, discipline is vital or Chelsea are a team who on their day can run riot...Its weird because I know we are the underdogs, and I almost don't want to say it out load, but I do have a sneaky feeling for us. If we can stay in the game until the latter stages we could just see something really special. Need a real disciplined performance though, decision making has to be good and above all we have to be really up for it - I totally expect us to be though.
oh and the 87th minute keeps jumping out for me!!

I have to say my confidence depends a lot on their injuries and ours.
If we have Lennon, Dembele + Parker out AND they have Hazard back; I'll be watching from behind the couch.
Let's split the difference and have Gareth sccore in the 86th minute to keep us both happy
Time to get behind the lads.
