Not watching the game but I'm guessing it's the Leicester fans singing that? Maybe they're bored of seeing them not lose?

Nope, it's the Chelsea fans as Chelsea pass it around the back four.

Of course its the Chelsea fans singing it ironically and also ironically just as we scored another terrific goal.We have scored a couple of goals less than City and more than everyone else in the league this year.First half was hard work yesterday, Leicester played well just like a team thats won 4 in a row!! So dismissing our win as "its only Leicester" is pretty harsh on them I think, but second half we were very very good. The boring Chelsea tag is the last resort of frustrated ill-wishers in the face of a dominant campaign for CFC.

Far from it, they've just on the back of a 4 win run, they drew at home to Arsenal and beat Utd 5-3

Just to clarify, I haven't called Chelsea boring on this thread, I said it's what's necessary to win the title after Chelsea beat United. I know you didn't specifically mention me, but just in case.

You went into the game with a 7 point lead and pretty much no chance of losing the title even if we had of beaten you. Why not play like you are champions and go for the win instead of playing for a draw? It generally the same game plan against the top teams, play not to lose rather than playing to win.

You mean like this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HKmoVbbsdJ8

People remember the winners, I'd rather play boring and win the league, than 'exciting' and slip up short.

Pun intended?

As an Arsenal fan there is no doubt that Chelsea deserve to win the title, I think the 'boring boring Chelsea'chant was in direct reference to how you played on the day against us.

Last season we beat Arsenal, Citeh and Liverpool, who were the other 3 teams in the top 4, home and away. And we didn't win the league. A draw was all we needed against Arsenal so we set out to get one, although the 2 best chances of a goal during the game were ours and we were denied a deffo pen when Ospina clattered Oscar.

So it wasn't as negative performance as is being made out.

And as Negative Creep points out above, it was fine for Arsenal to shut out Man City earlier this season...

We won 2-0 didn't we? and played some great football on the day.

You did. And it was a sensible tactic executed very well. If Ramires scores or we convert 1 of our 3 potential penalty kicks the outcome of last Sundays' game is the same. See how it works. You can actually play more than one way. Its not against the rules.

Costa probably out till end of the season. Remy could be back for Sunday, hope so, Crystal Palace aren't no mugs.

19 goals in first season not bad at all, especially when his missed games through suspension and injury.

Not much point in playing Costa for the rest of the season, i'm sure he could do with the rest , Maybe just a cameo appearance in the last game of the season.


He's been a fantastic player for Chelsea this season.

Can't argue with that at all. Although I think that Hazard fellow has been outstanding all season!

Congrats on the 14/15 Title. Best team by far over the season!

Really hope we turn on the style on Sunday and wrap it up, although if Arsenal lose on Monday would our result matter? Although I could almost believe Jose would throw this game so we could win it against Liverpool the week after

Arsenal basically have to win. If they draw then a single point from any remaining game would be enough for Chelsea.

[Amirhussain]

Today's the day then, hope we wrap it up and be crowned the champions.

Not been too good so far. Gotta step up in the second half.

[Amirhussain]

Penalty...

[Amirhussain]

fk fk fk! That was some luck

[Amirhussain]

Poor first half overall, but bloody happy we got the goal. Poor penalty by Hazard, but that was a good header under pressure.

[Wadeski]

Drogue really has been poor. I'd love to see Remy but they might not risk his injury unless necessary.

Another striker next year?

[Amirhussain]

Reckon we definitely need a second.
