Watched the city game and they looked like couldn't be bothered.
shame that we are in the position of relying on the help of other teams. yet again this season (as last) I think we are the best team in the league and we are being punished for those 4 awful draws in a row back in October.
what were they? Bournemouth away, west brom away, lesta at home (who hadn't gotten an away point yet this season), and someone else...
very poor, and a shame
Sunderland away was garbage too
and no disrespect to Palace but our best v their best and there is one winner.
Yeah funny Chelsea thought that too

Chelsea have not been at their best for a while
IMO to win the league will take 90 pts and we can't be too critical of a few draws here and there which 'coat us' because actually our form has been remarkable.
14 wins in our last 17 games.
7 points dropped out of the last 51.
A season ebbs and flows and however bad people think our poor run was (4 consecutive draws) it is way more than off set by our exceptional form for the last 4 months.
Agreed Dev. Chelsea have been machine-like, and if they finish 2nd it will probably be with the biggest totals but not winning it
It will be interesting to see how the teams with nothing much to play for approach their final few games against Spurs and Chelsea.
As we saw last season, most teams rolling over for Leicester and playing like a cup final against Spurs. I wonder if there will be a collective media driven favourite again.
The weekend of Everton vs Chelsea and Spurs vs Arsenal is the final chance for us. If we've not got the gap down to 2 or less points by then it's done and dusted.
I don't see them dropping points to Southampton so we're reliant on Everton beating them and us beating Arsenal for the slightest chance. Chelsea's games after that are easy pickings. West Brom might pose a slight degree of difficulty, but mid-table Watford and championship-bound Middlesbrough and Sunderland might as well have been hand picked.
Realistically I suspect 8-10 more points will win it for Chelsea.
