spurs of course, they will never make top 4 this year anyway, if ther's a slight chance we could go on a good run and win the league, we should be glad we have it
Tottenham v Chelsea (what do we want?)
- Thread starter Cutch

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
A Chelsea win so that Liverpool winning the league becomes more difficult, as for Utd we can't make up the 13 points difference it's too much
I live in hope.
Remember when the Gooners were 49 unbeaten...until we did them. They sort of imploded after then. While very unlikely, it's not impossible to catch Chelsea. Spurs won't overtake Chelsea if they win so it makes sense for them to have the points rather than solidify Chelsea's lead.
I see what people are saying that because Chelsea are so far ahead, they might as well have the points. But if Spurs beat them, we would only need a repeat of that scenario 3 more times to catch them up, which is not impossible. We clawed 12 back from a shit hot Newcastle back in the day.
After this week's round of games, I would rather have the difference between United and top as 10 points rather than 13. We can make up the 3 points on Spurs at any time.
People rooting for Chelsea need their heads examined. Spurs win all day for me.

I wanna win the league, but it's unlikely. I want top 4 so we need point-drops for tottenham.
So i'm hoping for a draw, but will also be happy for a Chelsea win, as long as we win our game(s).

This. 1st place is gone for us so I want the nearest teams to us to drop points.
Don't want chelsea running away with the league, 2-3 bad results and they are back in among the rest of the teams and we also want to chase Spurs down so draw.
The way I see it, I'd rather have Chelsea win the league than City or especially Liverpool, and we need Spurs to drop as many points as possible. No brainer for me.

We have just got through our worst start in over 25years, and we're just 10points off the top, with 19 to play. A Spurs win will test Chelsea's resolve for the first time this season.
As the title is out of reach, a Chelsea win is better. Itll be a draw though IMO. Which suits them. I just do not see them being caught, theyre too resilient to lose enough games to blow it.
And when they do lose, they could already be too far ahead

Chelsea win 5-0 and red card for Kane and Dele Alli would be nice.
I still have some irrational hope of the title, so hoping for a Spurs win.
Even if chelsea collapse, there are 4 teams ahead of us trying to win it. It's simply not realistic.
Getting 1 point in the whole of September and than totally changing our system were pretty big tests!
This. I don't see us winning the league this season but top 4 is still possible and Chelsea are the side we are banking on once again to deny Liverpool.
This please.Draw with a massive brawl and red cards for both teams' best players.
Spurs win, we'll get top four with how we're currently playing.
Opted for a draw.
We're going to catch Spurs without the aid of Chelsea. Some of you are too scared of Liverpool winning the league that you're willing to sacrifice our own chance of doing so. It's still very early days and we're on a good run. I've posted Chelsea's very tough next 5 fixtures, if we keep our concentration we might be much closer to them than most would think.
If the last three years didn't get me as pessimistic, I'd have gone for a Spurs win, no question about that.

I'm irrationally confident about us catching Spurs one way or the other, so I'd like a draw. A Chelsea title doesn't really bother me, but I would like to see that long string of green dashes on the BBC's PL table interrupted. It's making me feel inadequate.
Would rather see Spurs beat Chelsea and that pulls Chelsea back in towards the rest and maybe puts a kink in their form.
This has very little to do with Liverpool winning the league. The chances of of winning it are minuscule.
Other than 4 losses (3 after wednesday) and a draw for Chelsea, 5 points separates the rest of us. That's 2 loss more than us, over half a season!!!
A Chelsea win or draw.
Draw, but if Chelsea won i wouldn't complain.
You were not considered title contenders then. When you are at the top psychology can be your greatet rival
Another fight between them resulting in points deductions for both would be great
If they lose against Spurs, then it's 10 points. with 18 matches to go. EIGHTEEN.
And if we win against Liverpool, we're only 2 points behind them. So this myth of us needing a lot of teams to collapse in order for us to win the league is completely rubbish. We just need to win our matches, and watch Chelsea over the next five games and see how close we are.
Spurs to win for me. Chelsea are due some bad results and in our current form none of the other teams above us should worry us, starting with the dippers in 2 weeks. Title may still be a long shot and I may be slightly delusional but I still think there's a chance albeit a small one
6 wins in a row and people think we might have a chance at the title? Chelsea need to win and go 8 clear of Liverpool before their tough month. Lets face it, we've improved but we're not going to make up these many points on ALL of the teams above us. Off the chasing pack, Liverpool seem the most consistent so we need to hope Chelsea keep winning.
A Chelsea win, and it pains me to say it. It helps our top 4 chances more than any other result and on a side note it keeps the scousers away from the top. 4-0 Chelsea, a big ruck and a few reds would be excellent.
Of course we were consideted title contenders. We'd won every game and were top of the league beforehand.
Voted for a draw. Chelsea might be too far ahead, but it is still possible in theory. They could have injuries to the likes of Costa and Hazard for example. Anyway, draw or win the difference for Spurs is just a point.
It's halfway into the season. We just have too many teams ahead of us this season.
Tottenham win leaves top 4 still well within our own hands but reduces the gap to Chelsea. Tottenham win is the purists choice.
Chelsea for me....
Very hard for us to catch them, better chance of overhauling Spurs/City/Arsenal, Liverpool drop 2 more points behind as well
Had we picked up even a few more points in those games vrs Arsenal/Stoke/Burnley/West Ham etc I'd have voted draw
We've a lot of games from mid-January onward with Hull double header and Europa League back in February so it would be incredible to keep this run going

Even if Chelsea lose tomorrow and its 10 points, that's still a big ask. Chelsea would have to lose 3 times and draw once without us dropping any points. I'm not saying that's impossible but it's highly unlikely. Also, we are not the only team behind them. There are 4 teams between them and us. I would like us to get into the top 4 and put some distance between us and fourth place before we start worrying about Chelsea.
If Chelsea suddenly have a bad run (very unlikely, I know), even the title is up for grabs.
If Utd had any chance of the title then either a draw or Tottenham win but this is a no brainer. Chelsea win otherwise Liverpool will be closer to their first premiership title.
Also need to move out of the flipping 6th position!!

Chelsea win and we can then fully burry Liverpool's title chances if we beat them at home.
