Will the second part of the season

If I were Chelsea, I'd be disappointed not to have 5 or 7 points more. I think you have been the best team by a long way but you have just a 3 point lead. You are struggling to score against the smaller teams again.

Yes we seek perfection, but after 19 games 46 points is a an excellent place to be in.

Best team by a long way ? Your being harsh on City imo.

Even if we get;
14 wins and 5 losses (88 points), I think we will in the title.

So,
14 wins 0 draws 5 losses
13 win 3 draws 3 losses

We have done brilliantly so far, in a very good position at the moment.

Losing to City, losing to United leaves us with 3 more shock defeats in the next half of the season or 1 more shock defeat and 3 frustrating draws, we will still get 88 points - what a bloody good position to be in. Don't forget all of our hard away fixtures are done.

We do have a little wriggle room id prefer 90 points for the title,

57 to play for 44 for the 90 point target 13 point leeway .

Tomorrow is a must win from pchycological perspective.

But the draw will suffice, the real must win has got to be the City game, it would give us a tangible advantage (providing we haven't screwed up by then)

After tomorrow, we do have four London derbies away,

Afc & W/ham being the most high profile.

90 points would mean 14 wins 2 draws and 3 losses. The best thing about the position we are in now is we don't have to heavily focus on the City game. That's just another game to make up the numbers. Players have to try their best to stay detached from any psychological warfares. We can lose the game against City, lose 2 more on top, plus draw a couple more times and finish the season with 90 points - which pretty much guarantees the PL title. I took the opinion that if City can win the title against us having got more than the 88 points we achieve - fair play to them. City are still the strongest team first 11 and squad wise.

we aren't playing tomorrow!!!!!

you just made me check too!!!

furk the lot of you for giving me a mini panic attack!

hehe a win at 3 point lane will be huge boost to our morale ahead of some tricky fixture this month.
We have to maintain or increase the gap when we meet City at the end of this month

I think our home form is vital to us winning the league; and oddly enough i think we'll step it up against the "big" teams.
