It's going to require an unusually high amount of points this year. 5th will almost be like getting 4th in the other seasons, atleast from a points perspective.

 

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure people say this every year.

Does it happen every year that 15 teams has nothing to play for (bar conference league) nearly 10 games before the end, or that the bottom 3 has a total of 50 points after 33 games each? And yet 2nd place has less than 2 points per game. All of this means more points to the rest, especially those who are actually fighting for something. People say it every year before the season, and I do get annoyed about that myself. I said it after 33-34 rounds, because now we have 100 times more information.

There isn't fifteen teams with nothing to play for. 8th will more than likely be a EC spot, which would be quite a big deal for the likes of Brighton, Brentford and Fulham.

 

It also doesn't follow that a team with nothing to play for will just down tools for the end of the season, granted a few might.

 

Looking at fixtures and General consistency, I'd be amazed if all five teams pick up maximum points for the rest of the season (perhaps bar City). It's why they're fighting for 5th and not the title.

 

Although I take the point that now 5th means more, the points tally might nudge up over the years.

They're winning and could play trash every game and still pick up the points.

 

Give it a few weeks until we send them packing at SJP wor kid.

Had it on the radio out walking the youth in his push chair. So not seen anything. But it sounds like Chelsea have been far from convincing again. 
 

Long may it continue. So long as they drop points, of course!

Take my thoughts back a little watching the second half.

 

Chelsea have certainly made a move in the right direction though (for them). Could still get the points they need for CL.

Everton only seem to have the shite tactic of hoofing it around the Goalkeeper. 

Both Garner and Mykolenko with precision guided floats straight into Sanchez’s gloves every time.
