they WERE out of it

dead in the water

we let them in

But it was never impossible for them to catch up. It was stupid for people to say its a done deal. Look how it's changed..and how quickly

But it does not need to either.

Liverpool still have to win 3 games. Us only 2. Regardless of the opposition.

So we just win both our games. Hardly an impossible task. And maybe some chaser will lose points unexpectedly. Happened many times this season. Still nothing to be suicidal about.

If they play like today Liverpool aren't dropping points. If play crap maybe but they're in with a shout now. Win Sunday and if we lose Tuesday..they can go above if they win the next day...

Hopefully wont come to that!

If Kante and Kovacic are really both out for the season I can easily see us lose out on everything still.

One slight problem with the Leicester game next week is they could play for a draw. A draw would mean their fate would still be in their hands going into the last game.

Oh well - Liverpool still have Big Sam and Ginger Mourinho

who both shit coaches with shit sides nothing to play for. let's not kid ourselves. liverpool will sweep their piss easy program.

Wouldn't panic yet. Both teams may have nothing to play for but not as if anything definitive was decided tonight. Plus I would say Leiceste have a bigger chance of missing out than us if we beat them next week.

it would be the biggest collapse in Chels history

if we blow 2 massive cup finals and miss CL

worse than 2008, as even if we had won the last day Manure would have beaten us for the EPL title on GD, and we lost the league cup final, we crashed out of FA cup earlier and we DID get CL for 2008/09

Is this confirmed? If so then yeah it’s done and dusted.

3rd season in a row I see people going nuts over top4 and doing math... I am just relaxed and both previous times it was all fine with Sarri and Lamps, it will be the same again. Why so dramatic?

It's not.

Kante was rested due to pain management. Kovacic could return to the squad at the weekend.

Kinda where I’m at. I was super pissed off last night but I’m calm now. Strangely confident we’ll handle business in the two league games.

the kante and kovacic situation mostly and us still juggling 3 plates. this feels different.

What I dont get as well is people expected us to drop points at City, then we won. So dropping points at Arsenal despite the frustration realistically is the points people expected us to drop at City. We win the next 2 league games it will all be good.

If we don't win this Saturday's final, I can see the team losing their heads in the next league game and then god knows what will happen in the last one...

yeah but we also did not expect manure to roll over like this and get spanked at home by our two main threats. pathetic club.
