Interesting.
Though I think it more likely the chavs will eventually win the league this season, the race still has a long way to run. Don't think we should give up on it just yet. A rag win today still leaves the gap at five. Over the next 29 games thats hardly insurmountable. Even eight could be clawed back, though that would be harder. Given Chavs are our only rivals realistically for the title, why would we want them to accrue more points? Granted, no one wants to see the rags do well but they are not in the bigger picture for me.
If, when they meet at Stamford Bridge it's looking like we ourselves have blown our chances then a Chelsea victory will be acceptable.
incidentally, if they do win the league it will be more down to our failings than their superiority imo
Looking at their results so far, I don't think your final statement rings true. There is a long way to go but if Chelsea went on to win the league in the manner they have so far then I'd say not many others would've stood a chance, including us.
Won 7, drawn 1 (against us). Not many could match those stats.
Don't forget apart from the game v us, they haven't had many games where you didn't expect a win. Maybe a few games against the top six will even it up a bit.
Also, I feel that, as Champions we have earned the right to consider ourselves the best side and as such, the one to beat. I really do think there is nothing between our squads and the winners will be the ones who perhaps want it more or maybe adapt better to their fixtures
I don't disagree in the main, we have an excellent squad of players but this season I think the planets haven't aligned in our favour. With the majority of players coming back from the WC and then straight into a difficult set of games, we've not had much chance to give them a rest in over a season.
The likes of Chelsea have had a much easier opening to the season, even with their CL games which are, for me, a far easier set of games. Even our limited squad in the CL has an impact on who we can play and therefore who we can rest and plays into the hands of our opponents in the CL and PL.
I think we will get closer but it will all depend on how Pellers utilises our players.
