Yeah right.
Because you never ever hear of sides challenging for the title, struggling v lower table teams, ever. Never happens. The very mention of it as a possibility is stupid.
Don't know what the fuck came over me. Of course games like this are always a piece of piss. History teaches us that.
Fuck me, you took that one personally. It may sound a little arrogant suppose but, like I said, if we are aiming for glory this game should be a formality. It may not be a wholesome win but a win it should be.
I think people are more worried because of our recent form and silly losses away to certain teams. Personally, I think we should be beating the likes of Hull with the team/squad we have.
Edited: To save my Mrs blushes.
Nothing to do with taking it personally.
I just think it's an absolutely ridiculous idea to think that ANY of the upcoming games should be 'formalities' & I'll tell you that Jose Mourinho doesn't think any of Chelsea's games are formalities. You have watched god knows how many title run ins & you have regularly seen teams involved lose or draw games to the likes of Hull.
I don't understand why you are pretending otherwise.
In case your memory genuinely has completely failed, Chelsea, for example, themselves slipped up v Birmingham on the way to one of Mourinho's title wins. They will probably drop points v a similar level team, between now & the end of the season, for the simple reason that these games are ABSOLUTELY NOT formalities, & never, ever, have been.
I'm sorry Ted but I totally disagree. Fair enough, Hull should give us a game but apart from all the ups and downs during the game then the reality should be that we should win. At the start of the season I'd have placed money that we'd beat a team like Hull, less a complete fuck up like Cardiff et al. Then, during our recent goal scoring run, I'd have bet again. No game is a dead cert as that's the beauty of football but on the scale of things, we should be beating the likes of Hull if we are to push for the league. Read that highlighted bit again Ted, what does it say?
Pellers was brought in to bring the team together and give them confidence to play to their abilities. If he does that then we should be able to at least consider us for a shot at the title. If he doesn't, well, I may as well give it up now.
It says something you could say about every team we play. 'IF, we are going to win the league, we should win v ...' It doesn't happen.
The TRUTH is, almost all teams who win the league lose or draw at somewhere like Hull, so it is just plain wrong.
