How important is the Chelsea game

[redblood]

No seriously, our record in the league against them is dog ****e as it is against United and that's one of the main reasons why we always finish so far behind them in the league. If we improve against United and Chelsea then we'll close the gap on them, if not then we'll struggle. Nothing to do with the glass being half full or empty, it's reality.

Sammy mate our record against them in the League has always been ****e so I don't particurlary think it's anything to do with Rafa.
Anyway I think the tide has turned and we'll do them.

I feel that song lacks alot of class tbh and indeed substance. They mightn't have a history of
winning trophies like we do but they still have a history.
Besides i thought we were famous for NOT singing about other teams

They lack class so it suits them perfectly and it points out our Success's in abundance.

True, but if we are to challenge for the league title we have to beat our nearest rivals because over the course of the season United and Chelsea won't drop many points against the lesser teams. Obviously United already have but we all know they'll put a couple of serious runs together sooner rather than later.

Absolutely mate couldn't agree more, we defo could do with winning as it would give us an edge on both but it's not the end of the world if we don't we can always do them at the Bridge.

Being up there from the start will add to our fear factor.For far too long teams like Chelsea and ManU have not been afraid of us because we`re too far behind them in December.We need 15 points after 5 games.

It would be nice but we shouldn't start a melt down if that doesn't happen, we have already made a massive improvement on last year by winning our first game and away from home that's all that hoodoo of when we will get our first away win bollocks.
Anyway I'm being pragmatic about it I would love a win and I think we are well capable of doing so, but if we draw I'll take that as an ok result, if we lose I'll be gutted as I am anytime we lose especially to those ****s or the Mancs, but again it's not the end of the world.
Our season/team/manager should not be written if that happens.
