This is why we don't want LVG to get sacked. A side brimming with quality can go on a run with a new manager. Granted utd don't have the players Chelsea do but they are also a lot closer to us than Chelsea.

Game over.

Palace so poor without their key men. Cabaye/Bolasie...toothless.


Palace haven't done themselves many favours but this is a much, much better Chelsea display. Crisp passing, players running all over the pitch like they mean it.

I think they have decided to play again. In a way this could suit us as they will be nicking points off most teams now. This is a completely different side in attitude to when Maureen was there. Just shows what a bunch of ****s they are really.

Chelsea were always going to start finding form some time this season. We'd be fools to write them off for top four even now.

12 points behind if we lose today. That's a big margin to make up considering their form over the first half of the season.At this point I think they'll get top 6, max.

They haven't been great today...all 3 goals were horrendously defended through each of the moves that led up to them.

They would have got a good seeing to today by the many of the other mid table teams....well...maybe not Liverpool. :whistle:

And it's worth remembering they've had a big helping hand from the referee today. Mikel should have gone first half, and the first goal came from a wrongly awarded Chelsea free kick. Also doesn't help that Palace have been wasteful and largely bereft of ideas in the final third.

Chelsea were always going to kickstart at some point. They'll finish above all of Palace, West Ham, Watford and maybe even Leicester imo.

I don't get the crowning of Arsenal as champs this early thoigh. City are doing what United used to do under Fergie, back when the media weren't quite as dramatic ( like crowning teams champions when 2 points clear in the first week of jan for example )
They've kept pace, with their best forward injured for a large portion of the season and more importantly, are still involved in every competition, topped their champs league group and are no doubt off to Wembley for the league cup final end of next month. Throw in the transfer window opening, a "champions" performance last time out at Watford and an unlimited war chest, believe me, this title race hasn't even started yet.

We just need to do our own thing.

Bank of England club? I was going to ask if you're living in the past, but then I saw that you are 60! Still too young to have been around when they were called that. It must have been something your old man drilled into you! Anyway, what relevance does a club being tainted have to its title contention? P.S - you're 60 and you spell "says" as "sez?" That's pretty funny. Stop listening to your grand kids giving you 'text speech' lessons.

My father - who is 83 today - used to take me to Highbury back in the early 1960's during that bleak period between 1952 and 1971 when Arsenal won fuck all. The foggy evening matches walking or bussing up Church St Stoke Newington did not appeal to me at all.

As for the word 'sez' - it was like me - in use a long time before mobile phones were invented.

Not all new stuff is original.

As for txt abbreviation and sick slang words - I abhor the shit. I punctuate, capitalise and phrase wherever possible.

Props becoz I old skool, innit ?

But how does that mean they're not title contenders over 4 decades later?

Not wishing to be too pedantic it would be five decades but in answer to your question
I can confirm that ..

Yes they are serious title contenders but I wouldn't give them the steam off my piss
let alone any praise.

You can accuse me of being childish, idiotic, senile or anything in between but one thing I will not
do is praise up a football team that has no grace. If I wanted to do so I would have supported that team.

I have had years of verbal abuse from some of their supporters, no class and no grace.

Chelsea can only reach a maximum of 78 points this season, that's just not going to happen.

Even if they were to recapture last seasons early form then at best they'd probably reach 58-65 points. I'm confident we will surpass that.

I'd be a bit more wary when we play them mind
