I'd be more than happy with the current top four. Though it would be hilarious if Arsenal got top four at Spurs' expense.
Don't think that's going to be possible because apparently Charlie Adams says Spurs are the best team he's played against this season. Surprised they're not 10 points clear.

Everyone happy with the current top 4 of us, Spurs, City and Liverpool?

On the one hand I'd like Arsenal to get in since Arsene Wenger might stay which means they won't challenge us. On the other hand their whole raison d'être is top 4 so on balance I'd like them to miss out.

Hoping United miss out. Spending all that money and hiring José, the self proclaimed most special human being for 2,000 years, and still falling short.
I'll go with the current top four. Scousers making it in, Arsenal not - and Utd definitely not ... sounds good to me.

After tonight I think some Arsenal fans will be glad if they don't make the top four.

I'm not convinced we'd beat Bayern over 2 legs, but I'd be reasonably confident we wouldn't concede 10 goals.

Not sure using Arsenal as a yardstick is a useful comparison anymore.

It's like saying I've got a bigger penis than a gorilla, so what?

Part of me wants Wenger to stay because as long as he's there they will never be a threat. But whichever two miss out on the top four, it will still be funny.

Are we guaranteed top 4 yet? If not, let's not start mocking quite yet!!

Can anyone honestly see us losing three more games this season? And for one of our rivals not to drop any points?

I do agree it's not nailed on yet though. Spurs and City will chase hard and although Chelsea have players experienced in winning the league the pressure will show at some point. I can't imagine what that type of pressure would be like to deal with.

City still have us, Arsenal, Liverpool and United to play though. Spurs have Arsenal and Man U and no experience of winning the league

Yes. I went from the mid 70s and thru the 80s. I'm always expecting a complete collapse. I still celebrate when we get to 40 points and have avoided the drop.

I'm not tempting fate yet.

Our league position feels like 2-0 up against the Hammers in the 80th minute. I was feeling relatively relaxed but it could have all gone pear shaped.

Nope. It would take a massive turnaround in our form without considering Spurs or City. I see City at home as a win, United away a draw, Everton away could be a banana skin, with the rest comfortable. If it's wrapped up, we could lose to a relegation fighting Sunderland on May 21st.

City have to play us away, Liverpool at home, Arsenal away, whilst Southampton & Leicester could deliver upsets.

Spurs I expect to win their home derby, but United & West Ham could be tough. They should be our biggest threat.

But we need to lose 3 games, whilst they win all.... it's not likely is it?...

I could definitely see you guys dropping 9 points, but I can't see another team going the rest of the season unbeaten to make up the gap!

I think the title is yours and you'd have to do something stupid to throw it away and given the quality you have in your tea,/squad, I cannot see it. Cant is immense and I hope that Barca or Real do not take him from you as he is just a machine.
The other thing Chelsea have done well is "keep their heads down" and Conte has not got involved in bickering, blaming referees, spats with players and if he has it's not been as public as Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City etc. You seem to be concentrating on football and its working

No chance , Chelsea have been by far the best team this season & deserve to win it.
