Or do you still base your belief on "ifs and maybes"?
I accept "IF we put a run together".....arguments. Fair enough
But IF is a small word with imo, a FECKIN BIG meaning.
If Germany hadn't invaded Russia.....
If i had picked all 6 of last weekend's winning lottery tickets.
I think our form will probably pick up. But for a team to not have won back to back games all season is what i feel i am right in basing my belief that it's unlikely that we'll finish in the top 4.....
But what's weird is it feels like the people still believing we will appear to think those of us basing our predictions on how our season has gone so far, seem to think we're mad for doubting it will happen.
Really?
have some fans now finally woke up?

As a vetren of 3 relegations i can tell you it can get a lot worse, no o e is too good to go down but relegation battles lokie title challenges do not begin for a couple of months yet. I think what happens i Jan on and off the pitch will set the scence fot the end of season. With Leicester sitting top of the league this season and the likes of Stoke, West Ham, Palace, etc getting some decent results against the "elite" teams are there those that still claim the likes of City and Chelsea are ruining football, the league hasnt been this open in decades.

I really dont know how Jan will go, i have seen the speculation and heard the rumours so depending on which way it goes it will give me an idea on the confidence they have in Jose. Its tough though, ideally id like to see the signing of a pogba or a prolific scorer but the January window rarely leads to tgat sort of signing, in fact id rather see no signings and more use of youth and fringe players than signings just for the sake of it. So for me its like a Pogba or bust situation.

Yeah...the problem is that we may not be able to offer CL football...this may prove to be a deal breaker

JFDI, when I said it couldn't be worse, I was referring to individual performances not the position of the club!
You going Wednesday?

I don't see it as such in that I think any player with ambition would expect Chelsea to be competing and a season without CL football would be acceptable. If we were always struggling to qualify then maybe but I think we have enough kudos built up to miss out on a season in the CL. Not that I want to of course.
