Chelsea Thread

I'd pick Villa over both of them lol

Have a heart guys, we've had to wait almost 20 years!

[Kongster]

Yeah well we [Man United] had to wait 26 years for our first league title since the late 60s. Whereas in the 70s and 80s you lot were winning everything - much to our disgust

Already writing off Chelsea? I wouldn't write off any team with Felipao involved ;D

I give Liverpool more chance of chokin' tbh. But it would be nice if they can finally get the title again.

Mixed feelings on this one. I've got to be honest, if it came down a choice between Liverpool and Chelsea winning the title, I'd go with Chelsea every time I think.

The scousers were be gobbing off for months if they finally pick p the Premiership.

Indeed, if Chelsea win you'll only get me going on about it for a few days. If Liverpool win, there'll be thousands of pundits and papers going on about Liverpool's 'heroic', 'historic' (how would it be historic?!?) win. I'd even rather Man U won than Liverpool.

Ah stop being so bitter. The season's only half way through, still loadsa time left. Everyone stop flappin' lol.

I'd rather my own team wins it.

I'm just well happy that we're in the friggin title race at this point of the season. If we win it it will be becasue we was boss and better than the rest. Simple as. Yer turnips!

And that's why you'll never win it

[hudson]

I think we've got a really good chance. What ya think?

Honestly? No. It's between United and Chelsea imo. Though with Chelsea you always get the feeling they're a couple of bad games away from imploding.

I think you lack the squad to win consistently through the season. You're doing well now, but I think it's a case of your lot over performing while United and Chelsea under perform, and over a whole season, United and Chelsea will hit a winning run of 7, 8 games while Liverpool will get a few careless draws.

Saying that, you've a strong tradition, and if you're still around the top by end of Feb, there may be enough belief to see you through to the end.

Right now it's too early to really judge; can United win their 3 games in hand (which given their current form, you have to doubt), will Chelsea get their act together and go on a long run?

Still, I don't see it happening for you guys. Third, maybe second if one of the Big Two don't pull their socks up.

Fair comments. Sensible comments. Would be great to see all those hats eaten. Fingers crossed. I'm looking at you Michael Ballsack.

In past seasons, the second half of the season has been our strongest. I hope we're starting to hit the next gear. Plus we'll have our main striker back in the saddle. Sounds good. Just hope we can keep it going.

[Matt]

Having him coming back can only be a good thing, he's a great talent - at the same time though, you're winning now, and there's always a chance the balance could get upset when he returns. You never really know, but he's immense so that will likely work out for you.

Listen, it may happen. I for one am glad it's not a two horse race at this stage of the season. I'd like to see another club up there pushing as well, life is far more interesting that way! We'll see where everyone is in 8 weeks time and then have the same discussion. My concern for you lot would be your quite capable of losing 3 on the bounce.

Really? Last time that happened was in 2003.

[Matt]

You know what I mean. A bad game, heads drop, nerves get the better of a few players; you can't see a team like United doing that, but with you fellas, you never know.

[hudson]

I dunno about that, mate. We'll see.
