    The Premiership- Is the title race really over?

    Man Utd again closed the gap on Chelsea to just 7 points now. Man Utd have been playing great as of late, while Chelsea have only been playing all right. I still think that United will catch Chelsea. I think Chelsea will lose their last 2 games to Man Utd and Newcastle. What's everyone's opinion?

    doubt it, too much too make up at this late stage. However do expect Chelsea to lose to Liverpool in the Fa semi and to stutter over the line. Jose said he would have the league in the bag by next week sometime ago. Think he will have to go back to the calender

    United for the League. Chelsea are going to do what Newcastle did in 95/96 season. Leading by 12 or so points with about 10 games to go and hand United the title. History will repeat itself. Chelsea still have to play United and Liverpool yet.

    Funny how that was posted on April Fool's Day. There is less than zero chance of Chelsea throwing the league.

    It's no joke. Just look at the run-in:
    CHELSEA
    West Ham(h)
    Bolton (a)
    Everton (h)
    Man Utd (h)
    Blackburn (a)
    Newcastle (a)

    MAN UTD
    Arsenal (h)
    Sunderland (h)
    Tottenham (a)
    Middlesbrough (h)
    Chelsea (a)
    Charlton (h)

    United's is far easier with only three tricky games, but I can see them continue their winning run, while all of Chelsea's games are potential banana skins.

    Undoubtedly.....but only for anyone except Chelsea. The league is over, dead, finit, gone, kaputt etc etc.

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    How I see it is

    CHELSEA
    West Ham(h) Chelsea Win
    Bolton (a) Draw
    Everton (h) Chelsea Win
    Man Utd (h) Chelsea Win
    Blackburn (a) Draw
    Newcastle (a) Chelsea Win

    MAN UTD
    Arsenal (h) Draw
    Sunderland (h) Utd Win
    Tottenham (a) Utd Win
    Middlesbrough (h) Draw
    Chelsea (a) Loss
    Charlton (h) Utd Win

    So I'd take Chelsea to not only win the league, but to win it by 10 points

    How can you possibly say Boro will get a draw at Old Trafford? Maybe Arsenal can get a draw though. Chelsea have been crap lately- they don't seem to be handling the pressure too well. It will intensify in the coming weeks. United have been here before, they know they have to win every game.

    all eyes on Chelsea

    With 6 games to go there is no chance of Man U catching up with Chelsea.
    The Gunners will see to that and Chelsea will beat west ham there mind is on FA Cup
    JOSIE WILL HAVE SUMMER BARGINS FOR THE CLUBS WHO CAN'T AFFORD QUALLITY.
    Chelsea are already planning for the mantle for the Premier cup and then win the FA cup
    Look forward and buying better quallity players for next season, its always harder to win the league in the 2nd year but its get's easyier the 3rd because most teams will lie down. won't have the balls next time round

    Is it just me or do you folks find Chelsea very boring??? I'm no Arsenal fan either but their games against Madrid and Juve were great to watch while Chelsea put me in a coma.
    Ah, then what would I know.

    I think it would be fantast if Utd made a right go of it until the end. its fantastic that we are still chatting about it again. Chelsea will win their home games as I think Utd will do. If Utd are still 7 points behind or less after next weekend they have a great chance. If they drop points to Arsenal its over. If its still 7 going into the Easter break that will be a huge weekend as chelsea have to go to Bolton and Man Utd to spurs. Chelseas last 2 games are 2 away games to Blackburn and Newcastle, never easy games really.
    Basically Utd must win at Chelsea and hope that Chelsea have dropped points beforehad. If that happens the title race will go to the last weekend.

    Smile Bird Flu

    the only concern Jossie has is the swan dieing in Scotland which he seem to fear more than Man U winning the tiltle.
    Once again he has out wit everybody and taken the presurer away from his team.
    We are more concerned with his comments about Bird flu rather than his abilty to retain the title
