is Chelsea, saying little, getting stronger, they look much better and a bigger threat with Essian back in the side.

[Kinell]

Essien is no Dossena.

[red g]

chelsea is a difficult one, quite like having them there next to us. Puts more pressure on the mancs so actually wanting them to win most of there games...... as anything that scum has more support

[Roboklopp]

Aye, we will have to fight for 2nd as well as getting top spot.

Worryingly, the Bitters could be on for 5th at this rate.

[wiw]

Yep, having Essien and Carvalho back is massive for them. Essien's better than the rest of them put together

We'll finish above them though I reckon

[Rich]

He certainly isn't

No matter, I think 7th will get European football this year. It's already top 6 as it is.

Aye, but they'll cream themselves over 5th & a Cup semi- it's like the quintuple for them.

Doesn't matter about Chelsea or anybody else.

I've said for a while that United will drop points and that if we win ALL our remaining games we will win the title. If we drop points just once the momentum is gone and it's game over. It's touch and go as it is after blowing it v City and Boro.

I find it highly unlikely that winning all our games would put us above Man Utd yet still finish behind Chelsea.

At present it is good to have them with us as two teams chasing makes it more likely that the Mancs will feel the pressure.

Let them.

Would be fantastic for them to win to the FA cup. One it bursts Uniteds dreams of a quintuple and in the year of the Hillsborough tragedy, if we can't win it I see no more ideal club than Everton. Especially after I heard about their plans for the banner if they made the final.

[dww]

While I agree that much like last year Chelsea are making unheralded bid for the title I really think we just have to concentrate on our own games and see what happens. Most of the division have something to fight for so I think it unlikely that there will be too many easy games.

I honestly dont believe we would win it even if we won all our games.....Next saturday is the cruncher though, IF scum lose or pick a point up, proper squeaky bum time

Mate the Mancs are shattered and will be out on their feet before too long. If teams can score first against tem United will find it very difficult to get back into games.

I imagine they'll come out all guns blazing v Fulham and are likely to blow them out the water. It's the games after that where they'll suffer.

It'll happen if Chelsea win all their 9 games as well, but the chances of both clubs winning all 9 are minimal.
