With all our luck, maybe we can catch Chelsea. Nah!
2016/2017 Title race
- Thread starter Adisa
- Start date
He said competitive, not good.
There is no way in the world anyone could dispute that with 6 teams at more or less a similar level .. only Chelsea have been more consistent rather than 'better' per se.
Interesting stat from SKy. "nobody with this number of points at this stage of the season has failed to win the title".
Lets not break that one please!

Great weekend all in all apart from the dodgy pen (and two points gifted) to arsenal again.
Now that the regulation stuff is taken care off, can look forward to dippers and arse games.
2 points from those two games will be a perfectly acceptable result. 4 or 6 points and we will be well on our way.

I hate losing to Liverpool more than words can adequately describe, but after the Swansea result I could tolerate losing to the dippers and beating the Arse.
Don't tell lies mate
If Liverpool lose next weekend, they could potentially drop out of the top 4
.....what
They've got Chelsea and Spurs in their next three so it will be interesting.
He would rather draw both teams than lose to either one
Damn this season is so boring. It's like 04-05 and 05-06 all over again. There is no competition at all. We can afford to lose vs Pool now and still win the title.
Careful what you wish for. We could just as easily capitulate and go on a 5-match losing streak, don't forget this is the same team that finished 10th last season.
This.
I wouldn't be so cocky with three tough games coming up one after the other.
Lose to Liverpool and you go into a game with Arsenal where a win could put them 2 points behind. Avoid defeat in both and you should cruise it.
JT to get his fifth league winner's medal, all as club captain?
Said before today's games that if Chelsea win today, and avoid defeat against Liverpool and Arsenal then it is practically over. Can't see anyone catching them. 2nd to 6th could finish in absolutely any order in this rate, though.
Chelsea could and will likely wrap it up in next two games. With our luck they'll probably lose to Liverpool though.
When was the last time Chelsea beat Liverpool?
Did the double over them the season before last.
Since then have lost three league game to the cnuts.
Chelsea, play long balls at Anfield and you're good.
Yeah it does feel like they have beaten you a lot recently. Hopefully Mane won't be back before the game.
Not how Conte thinks. He'll spend the week before the arsenal game showing them the 3-0 battering at the emirates and getting his players so hyped-up, i half-expect diego costa will rip koscielny's face off and wear it as a mask as he celebrates his hat-trick goal in the first 10 minutes of the game. Chelsea will humiliate arsenal, you can take it to the bank
Nothing surprises me in football. It isn't over by a long shot yet IMHO - Fat lady and all that.
He plays the qf on 28th. I doubt he gets player again on 31 even if Senegal get knocked out in qf.
Please stop fecking jinxing our run.
Or counter attack.
Wish i could, but conte's too good for that
I'm sure some of Klopp's special powder would gee him up for it.
I think it was 13/14 that you beat us twice. 14/15 was a win for you at Anfield and a draw at your place, then we won at yours and drew at Anfield last year.
2015 was the last time you beat us but we haven't beaten you at Anfield since 2012.
I feel like we're gonna struggle against Liverpool's press, especially in midfield as neither Kante or Matic can play the ball out fast enough. Cesc would be an option but he just doesn't have the legs to run around on defense.
Think Anfield will be tough, but i expect them to beat Arsenal at the bridge. They play Utd and City in April, probably be way out ahead by then and can afford to lose both
Don't see Chelsea shouldn't expect at least a draw at Anfield, arguably could expect better given it's an under strength Pool.
A Chelsea win at the bridge should be on the cards really, they have a fantastic record there against Arsenal so I'd be more optimistic about that 1.
One game at time for them though. Get through these two games with favourable results and it's a huge step

My bad, you are correct about 14-15 season.
Last year is a blackout for me so you might be right but I don't even want to Check it
Don't mate. Don't. If the dippers or spurs won the title that would be armageddon.
Chelsea and Arsenal may have gotten the results but neither of them looked terribly impressive. For the most part their performances were flat. Arsenal relied on a massive stroke of luck (and Wenger should be severely punished for what he did) while Chelsea basically were in first gear. Hazard and Pedro did absolutely nothing. Considering they were playing Hull and Burnley, both of them really were quite disappointing. Play like that against a better team and you will get tonked. The title race is NOT over and I do not believe it will be a two horse race between them.
Chelsea have no height in their team. They don't have the players with the physical attributes for a long ball strategy.
I am hoping for a draw at Anfield and another draw between Chelsea and Arsenal. Would allow us to make up some proper ground on several teams at once. It will be a massive few weeks with our rivals playing each other. We need to pick up maximum points.
You are not in the title race, frankly you're being ridiculous.
You can still finish anywhere from 2nd to 6th but the title is long gone for you. Only Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool can catch Chelsea and to have any chance they would probably have to win all of their remaining matches.
You're setting yourself up for a massive disappointment. The title was never on even in August, let alone now.
If spurs do, yes. I don't much care about liverpool, and the meltdown here might be funny
