No offence but bollocks, this is football , sometimes you have a ****ty season, thankfully the rest of the division has been ****ing ****e apart from Leicester , KEEP THE FAITH :D
hehe I get ya,
But a ****ty season for us would be being down in Liverpool's position.
For reigning Champions to be 14th and 2 points from the drop zone nearly halfway into the season isn't a ****ty season, it's a DELTMOWN season!! <laugh>

Dude it will only mean that when we get it in gear and win the league, can you imagine the tears on Wengers face , of the ultimate, win the Champions League and stopping the yids from qualifying yet again :D

They've changed the rules I believe, so that wouldn't happen.

Regardless, you can probably afford to drop 10 points across the next 23 games to have a chance.
 
There is another way of looking at it. The top 4 clubs have 32-29 points and 23 matches to play. While this is an unusual season, it is very unlikely (not impossible) that none of these 4 clubs will not continue or even improve on their current rate even if City stumble. The final number of points would be 77-78. The lowest winning total in recent times was 79. I would be very surprised if none of the top can achieve this.

If that's the target, then Chelsea would need 62-63 points from 23 matches. This means at least 20 wins. And no more than 2 defeats.

And If we assume the title is won on a low total, the top 4 will be extremely bunched and therefore the 4th will be very close to the winning total. The top 4 looks also out of reach unless Chelsea's run is even better than last season's.

Agreed and I'm not even looking at top 4 now. Until we can go and win 3,4, 5 games in a row, very little point looking at it.

It's all about next season for me. Seeing in the next few months which players/staff are worth keeping around, blooding some of the youngsters and trying to get as far in the cups as we can.

A massive spending spree in January looks foolish as well as you could make a case for replacing half of the first team if current form is anything to go on so who could you get that will realistically turn it around sufficiently enough at a sensible price? .

Very treally does anyone bought in January turn out to be a good buy

.......you've really cheered me up with that quality post. :biggrin:
 
Probably better than you think, most people who watch football will realise they are better than their position shows.
Whatever you tell yourself bud!!

But seriously, they DID perform very well in both matches. They are hopefully, gonna stay up!

They are missing 4 star players (which shouldn't affect teams like Chelsea or United but is hard on a squad as light as theirs).
I really hope they stay up and have another go at the PL with a full squad.
 
I was no Bournemouth fan last week when they beat us but I've really warmed to them after watching them beat Manchester United yesterday. I thought John Terry made some good comments about Bournemouth on SKY. Bournemouth's work rate / run rate is phenomenal - how long will they be able to keep that up before burning out?
