Well we've all been waiting for them to slip up and it's taken a long time. Previously they've responded well but they've a massive game mid-week so might not be the case again. Man Utd away in a couple of weeks too for them.

Lets just keep doing what we're doing and fight to the end.

That would be an unbelievable run that would eclipse both the time Man U overhauled Newcastle and Arsenal overtook Man U after the bookies had already paid out

I still can't see it myself but it would be amazing if it happened

Swansea playing Boro today and WHAM next weekend plays into our hands surely? If Clement feels he needs to rotate the squad a bit he'll surely do so against us.

In our current form we have to win next three PL games. Two home against teams we should beat and away this week to Swansea. That's do-able.
It's not unreasonable to think Chelsea may draw with City and then away at Old Trafford. Jose will not want to lose that! If they win their match in the middle we would then be 3 points behind probably with a better goal difference (having just won three games). There would be six games each left.

None of that is unrealistic. I know that's not how it works but it's far from over. COYS

Dare I mention that Chelsea might only be 1point ahead of Spurs when they kick off against Bournemouth next week? Lots of ifs and buts, and I don't envy City playing Arse and Chelsea within 4 days.

Knowing our luck Tom Carroll will have the game of his career.....

Should be an interesting week.

There's a few games where we play before Chelsea this month, could be interesting.

Dare dare you mad crazy fool!
If nothing else it will scare all those that have booked a holiday off the back of their bet on Chelsea.

Ive done a little research and I have discovered that if we just win every game we play the rest of the season we will probably win 2 trophies.

on a more serious note, if we could close the gap to 2 points before the FA semi it would help our chances in that game greatly. Chelsea worried about its position in the league will be easier to beat than a Chelsea with a 10 point lead and not a care in the world.

Im more confident of top 4 now although i wont be totally at ease until we actually get over that line. I really want us in the top 3 as i dont want to have to face a very tough and nervy cl playoff match at wembley with our record there.
As for the tittle the next 4 games for chelsea and us are the key games. If they take 9 points or more i feel they are home and dry with there remaining games after that. If they only take 8 or less (im predicting 8) and we win ours then its race on as there will only be 3 points between us and gd will be in our favour id imagine.
We simply have to win our games... swansea is a massive game we must win.

I believe 4th in the top 4 leagues in Europe no longer need to play a qualifing match anymore

Next 3 games are huge, absolute must wins. Our final 6 games are tough, 4 away and 2 at home to Scum and Utd.

Sorry if discussed already, but if man u win the EL and finish outside top 4 does 4th still get in the CL? What about if the unthinkable happens and Leicester also manage to somehow win the CL??

If man u win the el and finish 5th then there will be 5 teams from England in the cl next year, man u will go straight into the group stages and 4th place will go into the 3rd round qualifier.

If the above happens and Leicester win the cl then Leicester will take the place of the 4th placed team in the cl i.e. us.

UTD and Leicester both have to win UEFA and CL and finish outside top 4 for the 4th place team to lose out
