Call me dreamy BUT did we not almost catch them last season? Had we won just 3 games at the start of the season, who would have won the prem?
No we didn't. We may have had a chance before dropping points against Sunderland, a very outside chance at that, but we missed the opportunity to put pressure on them. They won by a sizeable gap, for every game we could point back to and say what if we'd won that, they could do the very same and still point to a sizeable gap. Moreover they beat us comfortably when we played them in the period when we were playing our best football, at the end of the season.
We have to get off to an amazing start and hope they implode for what ever reason, then we have take into account that other teams will be challenging also and reacting to Chelski's results just like us.
No, we did, I know we dropped points but that was my point, with just 3 wins we would have had 6 extra points instead of drawing those 3 games and 1 win over a loss and we had the prem, considering their squad to our depleted one last season that isnt a big gap really, all we needed was a tad more consistancy at the start of the season, IMO they were lucky to have the prem last year, what if we had beaten Sunderland and Chelsea at the end of the season, we would have closed in 4 points and be very close to them, a couple of better results at the start and we would have had the prem, im just trying to point out that last year wasnt as bad as some people make out and for us to be able to have won the prem with just a few better results, regarding the team we were forced to play, is a good sign
Give Mourinho the squad we had, I doubt he would have even come 3rd
