3 seasons in a row, no?


Was reading an article on chelseafc.com about our remaining matches for this season(as seen below):

Sat 31 Mar: Watford (a)
Wed 04 Apr: Valencia (h)
Sat 07 Apr: Tottenham (h)
Tue 10 Apr: Valencia (a)
Sun 15 Apr: Blackburn (at Old Trafford) - semis
Wed 18 Apr: West Ham (a)
Sun 22 Apr: Newcastle (a)
Wed 25 Apr: Potential Champions League semi-final (h)
Sat 28 Apr: Bolton (h)
Tue 01 May: Potential Champions League semi-final (a)
Sun 06 May: Arsenal (a)
Wed 09 May: Man Utd (h)
Sun 13 May: Everton (h)

red: EPL
green: Champions League
Orange: FA cup

Realistically speaking, i dont think we can retain the EPL title for 3rd consecutive year. The remaining fixture looks pretty tough. It's so tight. Theres games even during the weekdays. But if we don't win the EPL, that means ManU will win it. And that's just...not fun (to put it mildly). But they are also facing similar tight schedule. So that's at least a little comforting. Though their fixture seems rather less complicating. Currently, we are at 2nd place on the table, 6 points behind manU.

We still have tricky opponents to face: Tottenham (now on extraordinary attacking form. nearly kick us out of the FA cup), Newcastle (we lost on the same away fixture last season), Arsenal (not consistent this season but still pose a threat). And yah, there's the game against ManU. It was supposed to be scheduled on the 15 Apr i think. But theres the FA cup semis so the match was brought forward. And it has to be the 2nd last EPL match of the season. If ManU keep on winning the next 6 matches, they'll already win the title. We won't even get to thrash them first. Super sad la. Nevermind, i guess we can't win everything everytime. And there's still the FA and Champions League to be won. Heh.
