GWT: Premier League 12/31-1/4

[spintheblackcircle]

It's a lose-lose whatever the result ends up as today. Just hoping for as many reds and suspensions as possible I suppose.

Your heart wants Spurs to lose, but you know your head knows it's best for you for Spurs to win...


....Dele again!!!!!!!!!

$100 million Real Madrid.

And Chelsea are going to lose. And now we'll see their players throw hissy fits because of it.

That's a spectacular cross.

All good things come to an end. Still better than invincibles so w.e

Invincible ended up with a title so?

Arsenal came back from 3-0 down yesterday so, whilst not the same, it isn't over.

I would like to see Tottenham win the league but I can't see the gap closing or Chelsea not winning the league.

Bournemouth and Tottenham defend just a little bit differently.

Chelsea losing here would go a very long way in making it competitive again. 5 points isn't a massive gap and they've still got away games at Liverpool and United and host City and Arsenal.

They'd still be the favorites, but the fact that there'd be 4 teams with 8 of them and another within 10 increases the likelihood that if they drop a few points one of those others gets hot to make up the gap.

 

[Live in the Now]

United game in two weeks will decide if the title challenge is on. Really can't wait for that.

Title race is far from over. Very far.

Courtois looks like he's 8 feet tall in the picture

Great pic, love the looks on fans faces in anticipation....

Still 5 points clear of Liverpool and 7 of Tottenham.

 

[Halladay]

Chelsea had the best first half of a season ever. It will be really tough for any team to catch them. Possible but not likely. They average 2 points a game from here on out they are at 85, and I think they will play better than that.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

...this would be about when Spurs would start crapping the bed.

 

[Burner Account]

And the gap gets smaller.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Argh conflicted between watching Poch take Chelsea down and Sampoli finally beating Madrid.

There's also WJC.

Well I was half right.

GJ fat Pep!

They've still got to travel to Liverpool. If the reds hold home on that then it simply means making up 2 points over the course of 17 games, not exactly an insurmountable task.

All it really takes is a bad loss or a couple draws and suddenly you'd have 3-5 teams within a few points at the top.

And they only have a 5 point lead. 3 of their next 4 games are against Leicester, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Highly unlikely they come through that gauntlet picking up all 12 points. 9 would be a success.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I noticed how much taller Spurs were than Chelsea, think a set play could score.

...or two crosses into the box to Dele......

Yeah, and Liverpool go to OT next and Spurs go to City the week after. Every team will drop points, just dont see them losing this unless Hazard/Costa get injured/suspended. They are in a really good position still. This result made the title race interesting though.
