Argh....

people saying the league is over etc....BULLSH*T!

Still a long way to go!

It's not over until it's over.

Wouldn't say a long way to go 10/11 games left 28 games played. It definitely starting to wind down now

Anything can happen in this league that's why its the most watched competition in the world. Sure the overall quality of the games are poor but I wonder if that has anything to do with the accumulation of matches around Christmas time?

Last nights game at West Ham where we rode our luck and got three points is the type of game where you come away from it thinking "We could win this thing!" We weren't at our best but we weren't exactly poor either! We just had a few players playing in roles they weren't accustomed to... Having said that the results this week show we have the sort of make up that champions have.

City just don't look as threatening or imposing as they once did. Pellegrino wants to play expansively when clearly his best players are out of gas and its showing. Their inability to play compact and break with pace has been exposed time and again in 2015.

With the next 5 games being relatively easy(forget the champions league for now) against Burnley Away, West Brom home, Palace Away, Man Utd Away,

West Ham Home, City need to be taking 15pts from those fixtures. We've got ourselves a bit of cushion and even when we don't play well we've been getting results. The team has only lost 3 times all year and twice in the Prem... It would have to be a monumental collapse for a Jose to surrender a 5pt lead with a game in hand at Leicester.

We don't have to win a lot just not allow the pressure of not winning to get to us. We are well within the drivers seat and only need one more decent run of games to be crowned champs! Its now go time... Go out and win the title! Don't have it handed to you like City did last year, WIN IT!

I seriously don't understand why Spurs can complete their game today but we need to wait untill the end of April to play it and in a tighter schedule.

I'm glad we didn't play today. Our next 5 league games are on a reasonable schedule. If, if, if, we can win them all then City will be at least 5 points behind us and they will have only 5 games left to play. That will be a very tough place for them. I'm happy to have these next few games come along in a nice regular way, they're massive for us.

Lampard and Hazard to thank for those great success stats

[Special 59]

In EPL can a team refuse performing guard of honour? Or it's mandatory and every team has to perform it for the champion?

Premiership team of the year (PFA). Mighty Blues!

Season review:

Success - 10/10

Won the league. Not much else to say.

Performance - 5/10

While there were some amazing matches. Swansea 4-2, and Everton 3-6 most of the matches this season were dire to watch. Aside from moments of brilliance there really isn' t much to remember at the end of the day. Found myself very bored during a lot of match days, especially during the second half of the season. But saying that Mourinho did what had to be done and the team is champions for the result of it. In the future exciting games coupled with the same success would be ideal but at the moment it seems to be one or the other and success is ultimately more important right now. The results were nearly always perfect but I will refuse to say that I enjoy watching every Chelsea match. Win the team kick up a gear as seen in the second half against Leceister, they are a joy to watch but that isn't seen in every match.

It was kind of ambivalent, I always knew the team was going to win so there was no relief nor excitement when the team did actually come through with a victory and the league title. It is hard to get excited for something that has been apparent for several months. I was probably more excited during December and November than the day Chelsea actually won. Mainly because that is around the time that it became very apparent that Chelsea were not budging from the number one position.
