    and even if you do catch Chelsea, if you take the right antibiotics, you can get rid of it in a few days...

    I hate to say it but I don’t think even Man Utd. will catch them. I don’t think they will win the Champions league though.

    I don't think so, besides it's been fifty years, they deserve it. I can't stand Man United and Arsenal for one reason, their petty childish managers.

    "The deserve it"? Based on what. They were in tremendous debt before their Russian Billionaire came around and changed everything for them. They are incredibly lucky, but I'm not sure they deserve it.

    excellent reason.

    i hate the French for the same reason. well not exactly the same reason. i think Chirac is politically incorrect, and so i hate France.

    So what if they were in tremendous debt? I base my words on the fact that Chelsea have always been a decent team, however they just never had the right players and right management, that Arsenal and Manchester United are able to afford until recently. In my opinion any team that has to wait 50 years to finally win a league for fans that have waited so long, imo deserve to win it.

    I'll be cheering for the catch, but I really don't think it will happen.
    At least it makes games more fun - Chelsea v. City last weekend was an awesome, exciting match.

    They don't deserve it if they could never get the funding from the fans to buy the players they have.

    I think Manchester United are probably the only team that can catch Chelsea. Arsenal could but I highly doubt it.

    Statistically yes, realistically no!

    Assuming the Arse and Manure do not drop another point, Chelski would still need to lose possibly 3 or 4 of their last 12 games:

    Away
    Everton
    Norwich
    Southampton
    Manure
    Bolton
    Newcastle

    Home
    Palace
    Birmingham
    Arse
    Fulham
    Charlton
    WBA (tba)

    Bearing in mind they've only lost 1 in 26, it just ain't gonna happen!

    Well chelsea are 9 points ahead if Manu and Aresnal win the rest of there gmes ats the lead stripped to 3 pts so 2 chelsea draws against the other teams would be needed. Not likely but possible.

    It will be very hard for ManU and Arsenal. Dont forget, Arjen Robben has to rest for at least 8 weeks. He was the main factor for the gigantic football which Chelsea played last months. The last match showed it to us that Robben is very important for the team - hardly chances and bad exploit.

    But realistic, 9 points lead is a hard task for ManU...

    Man U can catch Chelsea...That does not mean they will. They have a bit of an opening due to a slightly easier remaining schedule, injuries at Chelsea etc. Man U would still have to run the table over the remainder of the season. A good indicator would be this weekend. If Everton pull an upset on Saturday it will blow this thing very much open. If Man U ran the table they would have to hope for another upset over Chelsea, maybe from Arsenal or even a Bolton.
