    Its only different because you stopped a fellow title contender from winning also.
    But you still only got 1 point.
    There are fixtures you should win, given the opposition, I get that.
    But in terms of what people "deserve" in the game, doesn't mean ****.

    2 tough games for Chelsea and good games for us with teams at the top taking points from each other. That said we need to win our games to take advantage.

    1 bird in the hand is better than 2 in a bush

    Your record against decent teams this year isn't great. 2 games 2 defeats. Worried when you play city & Spurs?

    Points in the bag is better than game in hand.

    No it's not. Game in hand means it's in your hands to go top (assume gap is less than 3 points).

    Id rather go into final week in 2nd place, 2 points behind with 2 games left with rival above only having 1.

    A draw always feels like points lost to me, regardless of the opposition. It can be satisfactory if up against a strong rival, but it never feels good. The only time a draw should feel good is if you consider yourself up against someone far superior to you, and tbh no team that thinks itself serious challengers should take that attitude.

    Agree
    The only time I am happy with a draw is if we are away to a tough opponent in the Champions League, or league cup semi, in a two legged fixture.
    Then a draw is decent.

    Not particularly. We're playing really well and when we played you and arse, we weren't playing well. Even then, arse stuffed us and you guys fluked the win. We stuffed United with our new change.

    The city game i think we will do well to draw. Not worried about spurs except for suspensions and injuries as they are guaranteed to be filthy.

    People need to get a grip over this Harry Kane #worldclass nonsense

    He's scored 3 non-penalty goals this season and got 1 assist

    Aside from his penalty against Arsenal, he hasn't scored against a top 12 side
