Chelsea are still massive underdogs which suits Mourinho. The pressure is on City as they are the big favourites, and that showed today. Can see Chelsea sneaking in the back door to steal the title off City. The Chelsea win was the right result for the neutral today as it ensure the race was wide open.

Chelsea are in the position they deserve, but they've looked jaded for some time. It's a very long shot, but if I were in United's or Arsenal's position I'd be doing everything I possibly could to try to get them feeling the pressure.

Very good point. Allow me to correct that statement:
I'd be doing everything I possibly could *within the realms of decency* to try to get them feeling the pressure.
Chelsea are so weak beyond the first XI, it's frustrating how few injuries they get
Bet they have Russian scientists for chefs
Agreed internal.
Costa injured? Drogba and remy are poor.
Hazard injured? Willian, Oscar, Cuadrado are poor.
Zouma is poor.
Their squad depth is shitt. They did a deal with the devil to not get many injuries before Christmas.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You get injuries from fouls, and the refs are against Chelsea so give less fouls in Chelsea's favour, hence less injuries.
If you had any decency you'd delete 90% of posts on here
So it's our fault that other teams medical staff are $hit
Also btw Costa has missed nearly 2 months in total due to injuries this season, Schurrle missed the first 2-3 months, Mikel has missed the last 6 weeks, Ramires was in and out with injuries for the first 5 months, we missed Remy today through injury thus only having one striker
Arsenal/United have about 10 more players than us, obviously they're likely to get more injuries
Robb, I agree today was decided on very fine margins, but I wouldn't call it fluking it. It's about holding your nerve. QPR blinked first, so credit to Chelsea.
That said, and not begrudging Chelsea their win in the least, what we don't know is whether the scales today might have tipped the other way if they'd had someone getting under their skins beforehand. When it's as close as it was, one individual error is all it takes.
Fabregas also missed 3 weeks & 4 games with an injury the other month and is playing with a broken nose
Matic had an ankle injury for a couple of weeks too

we can have our worst start since 1986 after 10 games 13 points and surpass last seasons points tally getting 52 points from 22 games which is 2.363 points per game if done over 38 game season= 89.818 points so rounded to 90 points.

United we win
Chelsea really aren't the best side in the league. They were just lucky their opposition was so poor for the first half of the season. Arsenal and United have been far better than them for a while. Especially arsenal.
Chelsea will win the league but they really need to step it up for next season as they won't have such an easy first half of the season again.
Right now they are the third best team in the league. They're without Costa and it's facked them. Both United and arsenal could lose their best striker and still play well and win games. Chelsea have needed 3 goalkeeping errors to win their last 3 games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So by that theory we were the best team in 10/11 because we had a better second half to the season
Whatever the truth about who the best team is, I'm sure next season will be a doozy.
A resurgent United, a Chelsea side who surely will add depth, arsenal actually being good and surely city won't be so bad?
Might be the best season in ages.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it's called having a good medical team, no luck in that
As for Zouma being poor
United will probably need another season, Arsenal is Arsenal they're never realistically a threat, and City need to rebuild and they'll have a new manager and will likely lose a lot of experienced players this summer.
We'll probably retain it in all honesty, need to buy another top class midfielder + attacker for the right though.
Season after will be probably the best because city will be fresh, united will have built back, and arsenal might have an actual non specialist in failure for a manager

Arsenal won't challenge.
Man utd been form team in last 22 league games. Anyway Merson predicted us to get 25 points out of first 30 available but we got 13. If we did get 25 points we would be top of the league.
Arsenal would have challenged this season but for injuries. They've turned a corner in big games for once
Won at city, won at United and pumped Liverpool. They'll buy a couple of decent players in the summer and challenge.
