Watching this bitter tit ramble after loosing is pure pleasure to watch. Got asked a question and just answered "forget it" - lol nob

Looking forward to motd for once:)

Sky will be spitting feathers tonight. Arguably the two best games of the day and both of them were on BT, mean ingf that Sky don't have access to the highlights whereas MOTD do. Puzzling that Sky couldn't come to some agreement with BT for the highlights package. like the Beeb did.

It is pleasing to think they can concede five in one game. I don't see how Frank could have had anything to do with that.

 

[nowantads]

Not sure what just happened but I like it.

 

[Ray78]

If Chelsea lose John Terry or Matic for any length of time things will get more interesting.

 

[Mentis]

Just of curiosity, does anyone know what happens if two teams finish with the same points, same goal difference and same number of goals scored? Who wins the title in that case?

A playoff

Is that a guess Mentis.
I'd think head to head.
If it stayed the same to the end of the season,and we drew 2-2 @ the bridge...we'd be Champions..AGAIN...

If at the end of the Season either the League Champions or the Clubs to be relegated or the question of qualification for other competitions cannot be determined because 2 or more Clubs are equal on points, goal difference and goals scored, the Clubs concerned shall play off one or more deciding League Matches on neutral grounds, the format, timing and venue of which shall be determined by the Board.

God knows they've been lucky with injuries so far.

Indeed. Cahill has been poor lately.

 

[foxy]

Martinez must be close to the sack surely..?

We have been missing Kompany, Aguero and Silva for a lot of this season. Just imagine if things are reversed and Terry/Cahill/Hazard/Costa go down? And if they keep playing the same XI than it can only be a matter of time before their first XI wears down.
