District,there is nothing you can do to win me over,I'm convinced that you are a lucky team in a false position and I'm waiting for the results to depict your play. Or I'm waiting for your luck to run out when we will see the real Chelsea come out....average at best.

Tottenham have been lucky in there games as well, don't you think?
 
in addition GH10,

I've just seen this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJqqoeQjn38&feature=plcp

Dunno if anyone else has. apologies if I'm way off the pace here and this has already been pointed out, but it appears that Naughton is available for selection too , which obviously gives us other options. (although his ankle is a little sore apparently). Nice to see him back.

Lampard usually has a good game against us, so i don't know if that's necessarily a good thing!!

Fair comments Roo, I'd rather face Lampard than Ramires, but take your point.
 
Who would you say deserves to be top then?

Personally i don't think anyone has really shone yet. Chelsea are as good a team as any to be top at the moment but like Thor i don't think their play has warranted them being 4 points clear.
 
Lucky in the last two, especially Man U. On the other hand, we were a little unlucky the first few games. We also gave up late goals in the first four, not that that was luck. If we hadn't given up the first three (and everything else was the same!), we'd be tied with Chelsea.

I think, unfortunately, that Chelsea has a first rate team. Ironically, it's the one AVB wanted. Man City can finish ahead of them, but they need to get it in gear. I'm not convinced Man U has got the players to catch them.
 
I don't think we were lucky at all against Villa, we were definitely the best team. I bet we edged all the key stats, possession, shots on target, corners etc, as well as the crucial one.

It didn't cross my mind at all after the game we were lucky, the best team won and deservedly so.

EDIT - just checked the stats and they back my feeling completely

how does anyone think we were lucky - i have to say it seems bizarre to me

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19776296

57% possession for us

23 shots to 8 for villa

10 on target to 5 for Villa

8 corners to 0

AS I thought, we were the best team and won deservedly.

Oh and to complete the absolute clean sweep, Villa committed more fouls than us.:emoticon-0171-star:

I thought you deserved to beat Villa imo.
 
"how does anyone think we were lucky - i have to say it seems bizarre to me"

The power of suggestion. Someone said we were lucky in the last two, I assumed they had a point, and I immediately misremembered Villa for Norwich. I'm also capable of other stunning fates of mental malfunction. No, we absolutely were not lucky to beat Villa. We should have won by more. And I stand firmly by my revocation of my previous words.
