Next 10 PL Games

[cadmium]

I think we'll win 37 games this year

we've already drawn two, we can win 36 though

[fin7]

note of caution as chelsea are now under a different manager and dont seem to be playing the same tactics as the last previous years - but def think 22-27 points is achievable

[fin7]

chelsea next 10

Middlesbrough v Chelsea
Chelsea v Liverpool
Hull v Chelsea
Chelsea v Sunderland
Blackburn v Chelsea
West Brom v Chelsea
Chelsea v Newcastle
Chelsea v Arsenal
Bolton v Chelsea
Chelsea v West Ham


not too different from ours maybe accept they have at arsenal at home which could be a bit of a tough one being a london derby.

i reckon it is paramount that we get qualified in the CL asap so we can put it to one side and really concentrate on the league to be perfectly honest.....

also, if we are top of the league at the end of the xmas period, and presuming that we are in the CL second round, then i would not give a continental **** if rafa decided to play the reserves and fringe players in both FA and Carling Cups to be honest........ in fact i think it would be benificial to get nemeth, pacheco, darby, all game time so that they will be ready if needed for an important game......

hope this season doesnt fall apart and to be honest, i actually hope we dont sign or sell anyone of any note in jan because i feel that we could disrupt the obviously excellent team spirit we have at present (a-la newcastle '97 when they signed asprilla and batty in the winter!)

He must be including Champions League, League and FA Cups.

[rage]

if we are to compete i see no reason why we can't get 26 points at least there. 28 would be amazing and 30 would make us all get really excited.

[BigChief]

I'd settle for 23, it would mean at least we're not out of the race by end of November! Anything more would obviously be nicer, but feet firmly on terra firma.

[BigChief]

Thanks for the warning. Wouldn't wanna see that...

You hear it everyday on these forums, might as well see it. ;-)

[Darth Marty]

With a slightly negative (realistic?) head on, heres how i see it -

Wigan H - WIN! 3 POINTS
Chelsea A - LOSE - 0 POINTS
Portsmouth H - WIN! 3 POINTS
Tottenham A - WIN! 3 POINTS
West Brom H - WIN! - 3 POINTS
Bolton A - DRAW. 1 POINT
Fulham H - WIN! - 3 POINTS
West Ham H - WIN! - 3 POINTS
Blackburn A - DRAW - 1 POINT
Hull H - WIN! - 3 POINTS

Total - 23 points from a possible 30 but a defeat to the chavs.

Even if thats the case we would still be there or thereabouts!

Agreed. Cup wins are nice, but the league and CL should be priority. Competing on four fronts would be spreading ourselves very thin. Let the second string gain some experience and if we get knocked out of either then so be it.

Barring any nightmare injuries, I don't see that we need to make any squad changes in January. We have plenty of first team players and enough eager young lads to cover the second tier competitions.

Focus and consistancy will be the keys to a successful season, one where the team delivers #19 and #6.

One game at a time folks lets not get carried away with ourselfs just yet

[The Birdman]

Can someone cleverer than me and with more time on their hands work out who we play after the Champions League games because that could have some bearing on if and when we drop points.

Last three are homegames against "lesser" teams, just as the Stoke game was

[blacky]

23 points out of the 30 on offer would be a very good return IMO and enough to keep us right in the hunt
