Chelsea are getting too easy a ride

Can't understand why your two clubs aren't doing more to try and make Chelsea feel your breath on the back of their necks - not by walking the walk, which you're both doing, but by talking the talk too.

Chelsea have been looking pretty whacked for weeks now, yet I've missed mind games from rival corners seeking to pile the pressure on them. Today's game swung their way as you'd have normally expected, but the scales could easily have tipped the other way. Who's to say they wouldn't have if that little bit extra pressure had been there.

It's almost as if everyone had conceded the title was Chelsea's weeks ago, but even as things stand tonight, with Chelsea 7 and 8 points clear, the next two games could see that lead slashed to just 1 and 2 with 4 games to play.

It would also add so much more pressure to the visit to Leicester, who seem to be gaining some momentum and are fighting for their lives.

After that, they host Liverpool, who following last year you'd imagine would love nothing better than to deal it back.

It would take a monumental collapse on Chelsea's part, but why not dare to dream - or, at the very least, make them sweat it out?

I certainly can't imagine Fergie being in this position and not having a thing or two to say.

Maestro we did win the league cup not long ago. That counts as a trophy right?

A few of ours have forgotten about it as well. Short memories, some fans.

TCW LVG philosophy seems to make every team look steamrolleredStill am amazed how we lost to Swanseaso many pinballs in Swansea box nothing went in and as LVG said a sunday shot that deviates goes in and gets swansea a winner.

They don't give points for most shots on target yet. Sure I can think of one or two occasions where we have frustratingly come away with fewer points than I felt we deserved.

We weren't at the races that day until Andy Carroll showed up. That loss ultimately made King Kenny lose his job.

The reason they are getting it easy is because the other teams Utd, Arsenal, City & Liverpool are having poor seasons. I know Utd have won a couple of games recently and their fans are creaming their pants but for the majority of the season they have been gash. We have been hopeless. Arsenal have been average and City are on their holidays

Don't Utd play every game before Chelsea until the end of the season ?

SKY pressure good enough for you IOAG

Do they? I had no idea. I'd imagine that if you opponents collect their points first, there might be a spike in interest to watch Chelsea's game. Or maybe they're just Sky darlings.

Either way, I just like to see a good old title scrap go down to the wire.

The same as if the team playing early would have pressure of having to take those points first, what if they lost then Chelsea could relax take it easy and romp further ahead. All that bravado can quickly backfire.
