4 point gap. And between them and City etc its 6..they were always going to eventually go all the way 

Ive seen predictions about them beating our record and obs long long long way to go but 3 against having played Liverpool,City and Man U.

They are going to beat our goals conceded record arent they! Fuck off Arsenal.

"To start with, they need to keep clean sheets in their next three games against Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sunderland simply to match the three goals Chelsea had conceded after 11 games"

So they've done one of those already...

its the difference between a club that really want challange for titles and the club that want to buy young players with the hope that one day they can fight for the league

We are at completely different stages. Arteta is 6 years at Arsenal and is possibly about to win first title. Klopp also waited around 5 years. So there are a lot of similarities actually but our fans want it all and want it now. Think about Chelsea in 3 years. 

Penders 23

Sarr 23

Acheampong 22

Colwill 25

Hato 22

Fofana 27

Cucurella 30

James 28

Gusto 25

Enzo 27

Caicedo 26

Lavia 24

Santos 24

Palmer 26

Estevao 21

Pedro 27

Neto 28

Garnacho 24

Gittens 24

So that team will have perfect mix of experience and majority players being at their prime. Plus add a couple of great players we could add there just like Arsenal did when they reached that level. Or later in 5 or 7 years? We have great base that can dominate English football for years.

That’s all nonsense. Chelsea had already finished 3rd when the new owner took over. It’s completely different from the situations Klopp and Arteta found at Liverpool and Arsenal. This is just throwing sand in the fans’ eyes. This is going to be the owner’s fourth season, and we’ll most likely miss out on the top four again. So far we’ve had 12th place, 6th place, 4th place, and now probably another failed top-four finish. How can anyone believe this is going to be a success?

We didn’t need to wait this long after already finishing 3rd under Tuchel and spending that much money. The mediocrity of the board is obvious: Madueke was sold and replaced by Gittens, who cost about the same but is clearly a worse player! How does that make any sense?

basically a quarter of the way through the season and who would have ever had this as the top 4!!?????!

also, our insane EPL goals conceded record (only 15 all season, in 2004/05) is in danger from Arse

absolutely buzzing that West Sham and Wolves are likely the clear favourites atm to be 2 of the 3 relegated teams

here's hoping dirty Leeds joins them

and look at number 1 (Lamps is CRUSHING it) and number 3 (PLEASE let Milwall make it back here into the EPL so we get to have a go at them twice at least) in the Championship

We have to be realistic and differentiate between the current custodians, people who administer Chelsea FC as just another asset that they can make personal profit from, and the previous custodian who made winning silverware and titles as the No 1 priority.

Thats the reality and we need to accept it

It's 19 players listed. There are many others like Essugo. Remove those 6 doesn't change anything. Literally just Penders, Acheampong, Hato, Santos and Estevao reaching expected world class level we are in tremendous position.

Cool. 

And in your fairy tale, do our rivals stand still?
