Got to admit. A rare thing for me to want a Chelsea win to go above (?) West Ham for 4th.But what the hell. Hooray for West Ham.....and the most screwed up pass that became a goal and putting all that egg on the Chelsea keepers face I've seen for many moons. Newcastle next on the box.Looks interesting! I hope Spurs don't finish their game tomorrow with egg on their faces.
Peacock have all the games tomorrow.Bastards!!!!!!

Reactions: Spurlock
I said a while back, they don’t have the squad to keep this up all season.

Not going to lie, the sooner their bubble bursts the better
They might have time to prepare for injuries now, as there's a decent gap to the window.
A couple of loans or some sensibly spent cash could make a massive difference.
 
Guardiola: My squad is so thin and weak. What will I do? <wah>
Also Guardiola: Subs on De Bruyne, Mahrez and Jesus.
 
Didn't see the Liverpool game. Was there the right amount of injury time? Has anyone done any stats to see whether 'certain teams' get more injury time when they need it?
 
West Ham 3-2 Chelsea

Didn’t expect that today.

I thought we'd draw but certainly didn't expect to win. The current table is probably a more just reflection of the sides. We can compete with Liverpool and City over 10-15 games but over 38 they just have more quality than we do.

Early days yet (apart from the current top 3 being miles
better than the rest of the PL) .

We'll get a measure of the squad strength / management
firstly by the end of the month, and again the month after.
 
December’s a big month. So many games in a short time, which will test the depth and resilience of some squads.
The Christmas period, in particular, is often a make or break time.
Chelsea wobbling with a few injuries, but City look to be playing well within themselves and winning easily.
I’d make Chelsea 3rd favourites, but it can all change again - especially when it gets to March and April and teams are playing crucial games twice per week.
