It's on!!!
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
I watch Chelsea then read some of the posts about them and can't understand it.
Average across the park. Defence looks pretty poor.
Pulisic looks half a player, Kante still does it, but what else do they actually have in there?
A couple of signings in the summer who may or may not be really good?
I don't think anyone swaps our squad for theirs.
EDIT for forgetting this isn't 2005!

Exactly right, we've not capitalised countless times this season when handed the initiative. That needs to change over the next 2 weeks.
Schooled! Proper footballing education dished out by Wilder's boys there, with only 26% possession each half. Looked nothing like the side we rolled over easily. What a job he's done there. Now come on Eddie, your lads have a job to do on the morrow!
We can beat the game rising bastards. We owe the feckers a spanking.
If Leicester lose tomorrow (unlikely obviously) Sheff Utd would have the chance to go just 2 points behind them when they play on Thursday.
Something tells me there will be another twist or two.
Chelsea will probably be comforted by Citeh's impending ban.

hows that going for you ?
The nonchalant way you wrote that, as is Sheffield Utd were some lowly team compared to the mighty Chelsea.
Phenomenal. 3rd is ours for the taking and we don't have to rely on other teams fecking up (apart from Leicester in our final game, I suppose) to get it. All in our hands. It'll be good practice for next season too. We're not winning any titles until we're able to grind out three points from those games.
what
Sheeeeet
I must be half asleep, and I took ages deciding how many lelelele's to add
Apologies. Edited...for the correct player name!
Who do they think they are? Us?
Eh. You clearly not been following this season. Chelsea have been screwing up for half of it. They lost 11 times ffs, so it’s not just weeks they been screwing up. We failed to capitulate many times this season.
Last day of the season we’re 1 ahead of Leicester and Chelsea .We beat Leicester and Chelsea lose
I was praying for Sheffield United to win today, I feel that United could still drop points though, just hoping theres no twists and there's no dropped points.
The ban that is heavily rumoured to have been removed?
Just looking at the table, every team from 2nd - 6th has lost 8 games or more and the season isn’t even over. That’s nuts! Absolutely no consistency from anyone except Liverpool this season.
At least that’s opened the door for us to get top 4, very possibly 3rd now. We just got to keep our momentum going. Still some potential banana skins yet.

Not sure how its more pressure. No matter any other outcomes the game's importance has not changed.
If anything it's less pressure
but I take their point.Chelsea have been in the top 4 since October. How are they not pushed ahead and closer to Man City?
Because we are nowhere near as good as Man City.
Sheffield United’s away form is amazing too, and we were brilliant. If we turn up, we should win.
The next two games are big for us. Southampton wont be easy, but we are at home. Ings will play out of his skin again for sure. We need to dominate from the start. And I mean, dominate.
Crystal Palace is a potential banana skin too. Apart from those two games I think we have got top 4 in the bag.
This will be a test of character and mental strength for the team in preparation for next season. If they choke at this, they won't challenge for the title next season.
Calm and collected, one game at a time.

You are 9 points behind them. That’s not an awful lot.
This isnt just a run of form....we're building something. We'll be or thereabouts next season. The defense is wat will cost us
City really fecked up by losing to Chelsea. A city attack up for it could have stuck 4 past that back 5.
Yeah but that was ages ago. We've been consistently taking advantage of other teams slipping up for months and months, which is why we're now favourites for 3rd place. This narrative that we always mess up when our opponents do is just nonsense.
So, Chelsea HAVE to win their next 3 games. If they do, they're through, since United - Leicester is the last game of the season.
Notwithstanding the arbitration decision on Monday, this is pretty crazy stuff.

I m convinced they lost that game on purpose to feck us over, those blue cnuts.
Ages ago? It’s been happening majority of this season. If we had taken advantage we would be sitting top four comfortably a long time ago. So it’s not nonsense. We would be on the tails of City let alone Chelsea if we had taken advantage.
Chelsea will miss out top 4 if us and Leicester win our remaining games and we play a 0-0 draw last game of the season.
No. They'd finish a point ahead of us.
I slept through the Chelsea loss, expected an easy win for them, I might sleep through their other remaining games
Awesome result for us.
Awesome result for us.
Ah my bad, thought we were 1 point behind them.
Chelsea to lose to Liverpool and Wolves with Sheff Utd winning all their games to take 5th from them would be ideal
Fundamentally, Sheff Utd beating Chelsea has not changed anything for us: We needed to win every game to qualify for the Champions League before and we still do.
However, the way the Chelsea defence crumbled at Bramall Lane makes you think Chelsea may well drop points against Liverpool and Wolves.
You also think Sheff Utd might do something against Leicester.
It's a little crack of hope that, if we slip up, it might not all be over. Obviously though we are hoping that we don't need to rely on anyone else.
