Thanjk you.

Only problem with that is, that being so far ahead with the winning line in sight can sometimes generate the kind of adrenalin that can carry them through til the end. Being the ones chasing can be psychologically tricky.
You are assuming that they will be FAR ahead by that time.
The winning line is not in sight. We are not even half way yet.
Chasing is not so bad. It's the Leader who has everything to lose and thus all the pressure
"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son"
We'll see how far ahead the league leaders are by that stage.
What kind of points gap between them and us do you predict, going into Easter?
It's impossible to predict the outcome of this league buddy so it's no point arguing over that over and over again. It's still early days and we're 13 points off the top. Last Year we were 18 or so points back and we finished 8 points off Chelsea. So, we'll have to wait and see ... And we're improving and we've still not reached our full potential.
but people like morientes have won everything there is to win, but he didn't add any winning mentality to our team
maybe not re the league, but Chav's at old toilet, he came on and did brilliantly.
plus he didn't workout re the PL, but whoose to say how much he helped anyway, like Pele he was awefull on the pitch due to his legs gone but just being in the squad he helped us a lot.
maybe the key is when was the last time we had a midfield or defender who'd won a league. Wasn't that the time we came 2nd and only to an outstanding arsenal team.
scum's reserve's players have been brought up with them winning the PL that counts for a lot when they have to fill in.
Same as Arse's they had the belief they could win the PL on thier own terms, but not when it came to the CL.
A lot to do with belief and confidence and that at the end of the day comes from experience.
We should copy Chelsea's passion, commitment and hunger for us to progress to the next level. That's what separates us from being up there.
No, I don't buy that, how come we came from 3 behind to win the champions league if we don't have passion, hunger and commitment?
Our players try just as hard as anyone elses, Chelsea simply have better players than us....at the moment - we are only a couple of players away from being able to match them.

I was intimating at the Premier League not the CL mate. As it is, CL football is more of a calculating game than the premier league, and Rafa is the master of the tactical game. You have to be aggressive in the PL, and got to have a winning mentality, that's what Chelsea have in abundance, and to a lesser degree manure.
It's the only thing that's lacking in our game imo ... agressivity away from home but we're starting to show signs that we're rectifying that.
