....and we're in the top 4 all of a sudden.
That would be remarkable given that we were 12 points behind them when Jose arrived.
I had a feeling Chelsea would struggle as the season ground on and expected further struggles as they were banned from signings. That's changed now so will probably reinforce for the 2nd half of the season, although players making an impact from January onwards is always difficult. They'll continue to challenge for top 4 this season, along with United and probably Wolves. 4 teams going for 1 place! (may be 5 going for 2 if Leicester start to wobble).
Will be an interesting game vs Chelsea. Another game where you expect the opposition to dominate the ball, but our attacking lineup is causing problems for a lot of opposition. Our CM needs some attention, we need to be able to better control games, but thought Dier had a better game vs Wolves and loved the general level of aggression through the team.
Beat Chelsea next Sunday

My comment about Chelsea's wheel coming off, in a way, it's a shock statement too.
I was very impressed with their opening few games and I thought they would kick on, but to my surprise, collecting 3 points in a possible 15 points isn't good enough tbh.
Frank out?

Before the groupies scream and shout, I was just joking saying Frank out?
I have a lot of respect for him because at last, with him in charge, young English players are being given a chance to play regularly for the club.
Refreshingly and frankly (pun intended!) nice to see!

No chance. Keep wishing. qualified for the CL knockouts, still in the top 4. Lost our best player and had kante, loftus cheek, rudiger, emerson, Reece james, pedro, hudson odoi and others out injured.
Think we are just struggling juggling the players coming back and basically breaking down teams who sit deep. Its actually a problem we've had for a few years and had to rely on hazard to pull rabbits out the hat time and time again. We;ve lost to bournemouth,everton and west ham a lot in recent years.

A torrid run we are on and still in the top 4. I dont think even the staunchest of chelsea fans thought we would finish in the top 4. Atleast it will be interesting between us this year, could be the only entertainment we have this season as the league imo is already over.

I hope you’re right nick

It was bound to happen eventually irish, you winning the league. and this year you have the best team. IMO the first time i've honestly thought that you have the best team. Thoroughly deserve to be where you are.

lol I too am saying it playfully mate. Just don't feel too aggrieved atm despite our poor run. The most annoying thing is the teams we are losing too.

My hope is that, after today's defeat, you've learned the lesson that you failed to learn last time
