Premiership - 3 Games To Go

[titansrule]

With 3 games to go, it looks likely the title will stay in Manchester. Living in Manchester, as a Chelsea fan, that is painful.

What's more painful is the fact bar a home draw with Wigan, the Title destination would be in Chelsea hands. Win the last 3 games, win the Title.

With the goal difference, its effectively a 4 point gap. And whilst there is hope Man U will drop points to their bogey team, West Ham, or away to Wigan because of the poor pitch, its unlikely in reality.

Of course, the Chelsea Man U game this Saturday is HUGE, despite this.

On the other end of the table, Derby are gone, Fulham in all liklihood are..Leaving one remaining spot.

It will probably be Bolton, due to their tough fixtures. But really. Bham and Reading are genuine contenders. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I feel your pain my friend, but it must be soo much worse living in Mancherster. Its gonna take a couple mircals to get the title back. But, theres always hope, cause if Man U struggled against Blackburn, theres a chance that they could slip up against West Ham...
At the other end, my money is on Birmingham going down, that heavy defeat against Villa is gonna hurt big time. Bolton just seem too big a club to go down, I really don't think thats gonna happen, so in my eyes Reading are the only other team that could go, mainly cause of their terrable goal diffrence.

Well Bolton have us at Home and Spurs away. So that looks tough. I also question where they will get their goals from. Of the 3 teams, Birmingham are the best, they shouldnt go down, with Zarate (a high quality player) and Forsell up top, they have goals in them. Now that being said, I take your point about their defeat having negative effects. But of the three teams, they are actually the best. And the one I want to stay up.

Well, Blackburn away is a lot tougher than West Ham at home. It could happen, and I really hope it does, but Im not counting on it.

It's never over till the fat lady sings, so we can hope that Chelsea some how get it done (or rather West Ham and Wigan do). With four games in a two week span (two Champion's league and the game against us) I could really see West Ham pulling off the upset over Man U. and giving us a shot. The problem is that we are in the exact same situation.

I don't really have anything to say on the lower half, as I don't follow the Premiership too, too closely.

The one I'm paying most attention to at the moment is the Champion's league matchup with Liverpool. My brother and dad are Liverpool fans, and frankly I'm sick of losing to them in the big cup games.

[titansrule]

Yeah, Im going to make a seperate thread about that in a second.

I can see WH pulling an upset, they often do Vs Man U, including already this year, but Im not counting on it. The top teams can cope with games in quick succession, and with WH with serious injury problems, its a tough ask.

With the attack of Ashton and Cole though, they have a chance to nab a goal. Its just a question of frustrating Man U at the other end.

Btw glad to hear another guy's input Tom, rather than just GPG and I. Crazy how the three of us are Chelsea fans.

Its cause Chelsea is obviously the best club in the world
All it takes is the Hammers nicking a goal. If the same thing happens to Utd that did against B'burn (assuming we beat Utd, which I think we will) then the title is ours. And, hell, West Ham might not be our last chance, we slipped up against Wigan, whats there not to say that Utd won't?

Hey, think of it this way. It gives you a good idea of subtopic that will probably spark discussion. Just try not to keep it too biased or we might not get anyone else in on this.

Hey GoPackGo, do you live in/around London?

Crap, Liverpool just scored...

[gregice]

4-1 against WH quite surprising to be honest, ashtons overhead kick was an amazing goal but by that time i think they had given up
Tevez's goal i think may be up there for goal of the season what a shot
we got lucky is all i'll say
Scolari will take you further i reckon

I live about an hour away (by train, with the traffic I wouldn't want to find out how long it would take by car :P)
