Exactly. I can see Chelsea getting possibly 12 points out of those fixtures.

For me, looking at the schedule, what comes across is not so much the tough end of season, it's the absolutely glorious December. We have a few really tough parts of the schedule (Oct/Nov has the toughest little bit IMO where, in a 6 week period we face City, ManU, Spurs, Liverpool, and Swansea away).However, December1-January 1 is West Ham, Sunderland, Southampton, Villa, Norwich, Everton, and QPR. End of the day, it doesn't really matter. You have to get points no matter when you play teams.

That's true. Getting through December/January has been a fumble-a-thon these last two seasons.

we should first cement a top 4 place. we could be fighting for 4th with that run in.

yes, hazard, hulk etc are coming but that doesn't mean we are gonna stroll through every game. an overhaul doesn't happen overnight ,or in this case - over a summer, we should first start playing better attacking football. use ground passing more often rather than relying on dumping it to the target man (which next season will be nando :banghead: ) a title challenge is possible but its not realistic to think that those games will be played for deciding the title

bit to early to say isn't it? for all we know we could be well clear at the top and unbeaten by the time we play those games or we could be in the Europa league places dropping points left, right and centre!

We dont even know what our stating eleven will be against Wigan! so its really impossible to say how many points we could get from those games.

Well even with our current lineup

------------------Torres---------

---Hazard------Mata----Ramires/Marin

-----------Mikel-----Lampard----

--Cole-----Terry----Luiz----Ivanovic

We can still beat every team in those first 5 matches, maybe even Arsenal away. Now consider that we may get even better with possible/likely purchases of Hulk/Jovetic, Cabaye/Modric, Debuchy and it's not really hard to see that we can pick up alot of points.

Not too sure that is happening.....could have been a media created rumour....its completely died down , which makes me think the media knows something we dont.
