Wow....

So Arsenal is that low on the premier league table...

Yep, if we ignore the flashing red light and ringing alarm bell of the lot in second place, the table has a pleasing look. We know it's way too early etc, etc, but there's going to be a table after 11 games so it might as well look like that.  

On the downside, Arsenal are only 9 points behind us. With a game in hand. Hope that the lads enjoy the Sunday papers this morning, that most of them have the night off on Tuesday and that the table inspires them to work even harder this week.

Arsenal do have a game in hand but it's against Spurs today. If they can take points off them, then that would be nice.

On another note, it's kinda scary to see that United, despite being shit under Solskjaer, are only 3 points behind us with a game in hand!

Kinda amazing despite the media hype Arteta is getting yet slating Frank....though early times but the platform and the framework done so far is so impressive and I hope we can only get better from here... but Arteta on the other hand the style he plays is so boring and uninspiring despite the gaffer he learnt from...

Great comeback from us, great win against a very stubborn Leeds side, you just knew Bamford would score, but we responded brilliantly to conceding early, this team is growing day by day, showing a lot of character and resiliance, just like the Chelsea of old. Im very proud of Lamps and the boys, may they keep improving, getting good results and achieve a lot of success together, the future is definitely bright for this group of players. KTBFFH and Come on Chelsea always

Should have been spurs game. We did good defensively even though they were cowardly second half.

I saw this during the game. I was a little frightened with that stat.

What a good start to December.

If that was last season, it would have probably been P26 and W26 for Leeds. But we are different this season.

There was absolutely no way we were going through December with an all fit squad. No way. It was just bound to happen, there was no running away from it. It just sucks that the injury happened to Ziyech and not to, say less important squad player who played 0 minutes so far this season...

Nahh especially when it gets to the stupid period. 

[Milan 17,835]

This is so lovely

It's often said that the table doesn't lie but it sort of feels like it is currently. It feels like the current top 3 are way out ahead with a comfortable cushion but the cushion is basically nonexistent. United have been woeful in almost every match they've played but produce a moment or two of quality in a lot of their games and ride their luck to victories. Arse can barely score a goal and are playing Emery-ball still. Leicester look insanely good one match and then get humiliated by relegation fodder the next.

One poor result or two for the top 3 along with a good result or two for the chasers and these poor sides can go top. Just feels wrong. 

City are the only ones who genuinely look to have flipped the switch recently.

Couldnt watch the game live sadly, downloaded when I got home and man we were good. That second half we decimated them, could have easily scored 3 more, and their goal was a gift. Forget how we play for a sec here, just recognize the togetherness, they are all in tune and in sync....bloody good job Chels.

Who is slating Frank? Media loves him obvy.

Yes they do...just recently they begin to recognise the work he has done though still long way to go but they slated him several times especially last season due to our leaky defense when actually there is next to nothing you can do when you have Kepa behind you...

By beating the two worst sides at home? Think their match against United next week will have more bearing on where they are at.
