Chelsea build up

[Craig_H]

No it doesn't

We've already proven that we can beat the likes of the Chavs and the Scum.

The games that have defined our season are the likes of West Ham, Fulham and Stoke at home. Stoke and Wigan away.

Had we been able to win even two or three of those games we'd be top of the league, still.

Beating the Chavs on Sunday proves nothing.

He's not saying that beating Chelsea will 'prove' anything, he's just saying it's now very much last chance saloon, win or bust time in our title bid.

And he's right.

win and we could just could start a good run and maintain a challenge
draw or loss and we will fight it out for 3rd/5th
im pissing against the wind but lets have a game we actually try to win it rather than avoid defeat
the natives are getting restless rafa ffs get them back on board or you could be outta the door sooner rather than later - and i take no pleasure in saying that never mind thinking it

Just out of curiosity - any reason why we wouldn't be battling for 4th?

[gentingfrmhell]

oh man we have f***ed ourselves up. if we lose on sunday, we'll prob end up fifth come end season! beneath villa! omg unimaginable...

finally some rational talking on this site.

so if we lose or draw and the scum win we are still in the race

you sir are deluded

it's january. how many times does that need to be said before people ****ing listen. the title wont be won till may. i wouldn't give a feck if we lost this game because we would still be in the title race. if you dont think so then you sir are the deluded one

If we lose on Sunday and United win their game in hand, they're 8 points ahead of us with 14 to play.

How realistic would it be, do you think, for them to lose 3 of those 14 and for us to win all 14?

who knows. no-one knows. which is my point. for all the people who have clearly stated "if we lose or draw we wont win the league" my question is why not?

manure could hit a poor run like we are in just now. we could quite easily hit form and win our reamining games. again no-one knows. they might not lose 3 of they're last 14 games but they could draw 7 of those games. possible.

all i'm looking for is for a bit of sense on here at times. untill it is mathematically impossible for us to win the league i'll still beleive the league is coming home this year.

No one 'knows' obviously, but we're all intelligent enough to conclude as to the levels of probabilities involved, arent we?

i'm not sure half the folk on here are intelligent enough.

the league is more competitive than ever before this year. united have still to play everton, spurs, villa, man city, arsenal and us to name a few teams. these are all hard games they could slip up on. if we beat them, arsenal beat them and city beat them then there are the 3 defeats u mentioned out of they're last 14 games.

So an unlikely 3 defeats. And us?

And it's just that simple, isnt it?

I didnt ask if it was possible for them to lose 3 games, i was talking about the probability of it happening. Which 99.99% of people would agree with.

Then you factor in the probability of us winning all of the last 14 games, and yet again, you're looking at a very small chance of both happening.

Or do you think it's 50/50?

i think you'll just disagree with whatever i say and look on the negative side. there is a 50/50 chance of that happening even though you were being sarcastic when you said it. 99.99% of people would have given us no chance of being top at xmas and new year but we did it. we probably should have beat fulham, everton, stoke spurs etc.... but didn't. manure prob should beat villa, spurs, arsenal etc... but they might not.

So you think there is a 50% chance of Man Utd losing 3 games AND us winning ALL of our final 14 games?

Is that what you're saying?

of course there is.

[Craig_H]

Right-oh mate. That'll be why the odds of it would be about a million to one

Chelsea build up

So, what are your thoughts?

Is Chelsea due a good hammering? 4-0 maybe?

Will we rest Gerrard, Torres and Reina as they are tired and we have Real Madrid coming up?

Hopefully we will line up like this:

________________Reina

Arbeloa_____Carra______Skrtel_______Aurelio

Kuyt______Alonso_________Masch_______Riera

_________________Gerrard

________________Torres
