There isn't a cat in hells chance we will finish above Man City but if we finish above Newcastle, we have a great chance of playing in the CL. It's a long shot but I want to win the PL CL is great but trophies are what it's all about. Plus if we blow a 13pt lead to Newcastle then it's our own fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably finish above Newcastle now anyway but if they did beat Man City, they could be just 7 points behind us by then end of January. I reaally think the final PL table would show we need a Man City win and a Spurs draw this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that proves my point! The table can change so fast that to say its bizarre to call Newcastle a rival is just wrong. They absolutely are. As the potential 12 point swing in just 3 weeks clearly demonstrates. Edited January 13 by GlobalVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City that many say are going to run away with the league are losing to Newcastle and then they give us our first home loss of the season? No, too pessimistic for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, too pessimistic for me Im only saying that I want Newcastle out the way good and proper as I do not think we will finish above Man City due to their squad size and quality. Caused by cheating. That make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 5 hours ago, GlobalVillan said: Bournemouth looked like their goose was cooked even later in the season last year and still survived comfortably. So many twists and turns yet, with the only certainty in the league being that cheating bastards FC win the title. Again. Other than that, nothing is certain, although I do agree Burnley don't look good enough at the moment. Bournemouth had 5 more points than Burnley did at this time last season Burnley are dreadful with a terrible manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they are shit and are likely to go down, I was just saying that last season everyone thought Bournemouth were certs and stayed up easily.

Not sure but they jumped out of the relegation zone two games later so they werent that far behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It's pretty remarkable it's even considered plausible for Burnley to stay up at this point. Normally you set a point per game as the target in a relegation scrap; they have 12 points from 21 games, they're barely achieving half of that target. If it weren't for Everton's points deduction and Brentford's massive injury crisis we wouldn't even be discussing this. Still got a chance for now though.

OutByEaster? Posted January 13 Moderator Share Posted January 13 Anthony Taylor has already given three or four things Chelsea's way out of nothing at the start of this game - going to be a long day for Fulham I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 13 Moderator Share Posted January 13 Chelsea's support seem to have brought a book. It's eerily quiet other than the Fulham fans. If Fulham's away support are completely outdoing you, you've got a problem,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 13 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13 Fulham are a strange side. Every time I've watched them play this season, their performances seem completely dependent on whether Willian is having a good game or not. They look a bit hopeless when he isn't.

OutByEaster? Posted January 13 Moderator Share Posted January 13 Fulham are starting to look the better side. This is the worst home support I think I've seen this season - they're silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 13 Moderator Share Posted January 13 Gusto with one that might have been red. I think yellow is probably right, but he definitely gives them a chance to look at it - it's a tequila sunrise challenge - mostly yellow with a little bit of red. He's not the brightest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
