I disagree, their squad isnt good they have just incredible cover for 3 positions that constantly keeps hiding their weaknesses. They only have one good striker(more than us atm tbf), their defence is vulnerable with LB's and RB's being poor this season and their CB's havent been great minus Ivanovic. Their CM is weak other than Ramires who has been no where near as good as last season. The only thing about this Chelsea squad is they have that winning mentality that always gets them through unlike us and in the big games the players know what to do to win which always helps them and they work hard for it!


But what they have is enough to save their CL place. Look at us, look at Arsenal. Tbh both of us haven't played very well all season. Arsenal have their luck and we have Bale.
Chelseas squad is so much stronger than ours. If they can add 3,4 players (they will), they are title contender, no doubt.

It was never going to be easy was it?!

Our luck-o-meter is going to have to be at maximum on Wednesday and beyond for us to qualify but with Bale, there is always hope!

What are you talking about? Our luck-o-meter only goes as far as 'No fucking chance'.

United have 0.00% chance of signing Bale anyway.

Their idea of spending is £30m. Levy would tell them to go fuck themselves three times over. They also have no players I would want, maybe Hernandez at a push but they can just fuck off

Rooney, RVP, Hernandez, Rafael?

Why the disagree? Wolves fielded a second XI due to an upcoming game, whereas United rested around 3 or 4 players. It's hardly the same thing.

Ok if we can just beat them 17-0 on wednesday we'll go aboe them into 3rd, C'mon you Spurs.

Edit: Shit, I just realized that each goal for us is a goal against them so we only need to win 9-0! Fucking "A" GAME ON!!!

I disagree as a squad we are stronger them being stronger in one position doesnt make them stronger than us and I would say we have been 2 or 3 players away from a title challenge ourselves and tbh Chelsea dont worry me that much next season their signings they have been linked with arent improving them tbh. Only Mourinho is likely to take back to where they are but he wont be given full control so that seems unlikely as well.

I would say our squad is as strong if not stronger but dont have that same determination or character to win every match. As for individuals I would say our defence is better but their defence always plays better together which is down to 10 years of very good defensive coaching.

That result has pissed me off.

Anyway, lets not rely on other teams to help us. Lets go and win all our games. Coys!

I'd take Cahill, Cech, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Ba. And tbf the players they're linked with will be ten times better than who Levy brings in. Falcao, will improve them fuckin no end (if he signs). Schurrle is decent, apparently the agent of Mourinho is Mendes, who now has Moutinho on his books and there is talk they've 90% got him wrapped up too. So, they'll be strong

Feeling completely empty. Cant imagine how the Spurs players will be feeling.

Today is the first time i genuinely feel like its over.

Ive been waiting and waiting for the tiredness to catch up with Chelsea, but its not going to come.

I've said before we wont make top four and I stand by that where as the other two know how to win and rarely slip up.
Defeats at Liverpool and disgracefully at home to fulham have cost us both of which were avoidable so europa is our best chance which is us going backwards slightly but is understandable given our poor approach to transfers.
Its a concern whether we will ever get back there again but keeping bale is a must.

Fucking hate United. Despite years of undeserved results against us due to dozens of incorrect decision, they can't once do us a favour by beating either Arsenal or Chelsea?

It's not over just feels like it, it will be over come Wed. I think we will lose and The Arse will win their final 2 games, our chance was Chavs losing today and then struggling against villa or Everton but they will be safe come Thursday morning.

I would rather have Kaboul and Vertonghen over Cahill and Caulker has alot of potentiall
As for Cole this season he has been very poor, and Lampard, please he wouldnt improve us. As for the three AM's I agree but I said they are stronger in that position and a in form Ba is much better than any of our shite. Ramires also hasnt had a great season(compared to last season when he was the won who Sandro has been much better and Dembele was before his Hip injury.

As for them signing Falcao is not going to happen imo. Moutinho comes solely because of that agent link tbh and some of the Mourinho have been so full of shit Im not 100% sure he will be going back

I think this season it could be worse because I fear levy is going to be cheap skate and we all know we have the best player in the league and a future great
