Title Run In

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Some of you need to be reminded that this is the Premier League. As I was reading through the pages of this thread it sort of reminded of all Liverpool fans last year where they thought the league's results were already decided before playing us and Palace.

We have some tough fixtures, QPR, United, Arsenal, Liverpool AND West Brom. Playing Tony Pulis' team away one week before the last fixture of the league makes me nervous as hell. I don't want to sound negative but with our recent form it wouldn't be surprising to see us drop points in most of these games. I want Jose the play fearlessly in these matches and not be conservative, it's about time we show what the champions look like...

Come on Chelsea!

A lot of people here will look stupid if we don't win the title

For starters, this place would be in meltdown mode if we don't win this weekend.

Chelsea will look stupid if we don't win it, if we lose it now we should seriously feel ashamed.

“Why are you so pessimistic in life? It's more difficult to succeed. You have to be optimistic. Maybe you are a guy with great potential and you don't move on because you're pessimistic. Be optimistic.

"Believe in yourself, be positive. We want to win against Southampton. We have 11 matches to play, an advantage of five points and one match in hand. We cannot promise we'll win every game, or even that we will win the PL, but we are optimistic. You look very pessimistic. I think you have to enjoy life in a different way.

The club, the manager, the players will all look a lot more stupid if we dont in it.

one of the Mourinho quotes of the season

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

That was an awesome Mourinho back then. Now we have a shadow of that guy.

I'll take his shadow over 98% of the managers out there! CAREFREE!

[boshman 1,073]

Am I being stupid or can we win it against Leicester?

If we win against QPR, United and Arsenal. A win against Leicester will take us 13 clear with 4 to play.

I am right there, right?

not quite City can still get to 82 under that scenario so it wouldn't be clinched unless they dropped points which could happen this weekend,

[boshman 1,073]

Which is a big possibility the way they and United are playing right now. Lol! So realistically we are looking at the Palace game. If not, Liverpool the week after.

When were Liverpool 7 points clear of 2nd place with a game in hand?

[The Skipper 20,593]

Don't want to be a party pooper, but this only changed our goal from:

5 wins + 1 draw to 5 wins/4 wins and 3 draws.

Not if we beat Arsenal and United. If we beat those two it's pretty much a wrap.

[Tomo 21,739]

good point there, but well we could lose all 3 of those matches - very IMHO all 3 will be a dog fight - we could lose both Cesc & Matic for the manure + le arse matches if they get a yellow in the qpha match - I believe but I want to be real too

When was the last time we lost 3 in a row? All 3 are potential one of loses if we ain't on the ball but the chances of losing all 3 (which would mean doubling our defeats tally for the whole season) is hugely unlikely.

True....I like to take one match at a time, starting w/ qpha - I am worried about this match - this could make our season go pear shape - lose & both Matic & Cesc get yellow will cause issues for the manure le arse matches - that is why I am worried

[Rom2013 446]

This is a really important result because City is almost out of the race (they need a miracle), and Arsenal and United will play one against the other so at least one of them is also out of the title race.

FOr example in this moment if Manchester City wins against Man United, and Man United against Arsenal we have a 99% chance of winning the League even if they win all the other games which is difficult.

Another good thing is that our goal difference looks better when compared with United and Arsenal than in the case of Manchester City.

THis position is incredible. ANd I think we are already CHampions with all the honesty... But we need to confirm it.

Ofcourse that's understandable, but we have such a healthy lead now it would take form mirroring AVBs last two month's to blow this.

I will never take anything for granted until it's mathematically sure (didn't even in the Bolton game in 05 till the whistle blew) but I can't help but be excited now were so close.
