Look back at the predictions of where we would finish this season and i can't remember a single person saying top 4, let alone have a chance of a trophy.
Im fully expecting us to struggle against a wolves team who play well against the big teams. And if we don't qualify we don't qualify.
But if we do, and a chance of a top 4 finish and fa cup win would be a phenomenal achievement.
We have lost our best player, with no summer transfer window, and lost our second best player through injury for most the season. Add that to several injuries to key players throughout the year and the signs a positive.
Still a lot to play for this season goes to show we are still chelsea and always in the thick of it despite not necessarily having the best team.
A solid building season

I'd be cautious about that one

No one expected Tottenham to struggle so much under Pockets and no one expected United to be so inconsistent. That's why no one predicted top 4.
Given those 2 teams struggled so much, expectations are revised and Chelsea really should make top 4 this season. We were in a great position to do so after the first 1/3 of the season and didn't consolidate our position and let United catch up to and eventually overtake us.

you mean on here, or in the real world? because if you mean the latter that is slightly overegging it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The article is on here. So go figure
----------------------------------------------------------------------
right, whereas if you'd posted your article on the guardian it would have referred to their pre-season predictions?
anyway, there were plenty of pundits who had you down for top 4, not sure where this "plucky little underdogs chelsea" idea has come from.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t talk rubbish,
Pundits and guardian editors don’t read this forum I take it so the article is obviously in reference to what Chelsea fans on this board predicted. Not sure why you had to chime in at all.

yeah, heaven knows why i took the word "person" and didn't realise that it meant "ja606 chelsea fans only". if you learn to write better english you'll find people aren't quite so quick to pick you up on talking bo!!ocks.
and if no one on here really did predict top 4 for chelsea this season, that's bizarre, because plenty of pundits/journalists/bookies did.

I agree Nick, it 's been a very solid season,even if it has been a rollercoaster.
I can't wait to see how our new guys manage to settle in.
Again this coming season might be another rollercoaster ,but it will surely be entertaining !
Just so long as we can sort out our defensive problems, which I'm sure Frank is working on.
