I remember smashing them this season but looking at their fixture list earlier I was still thinking "that's another 3 points closer"

I just hope it doesnt happen the other way too. If we do happen to lose the semi, I hope it doesnt derail the rest of our season. As it is, on current form I think we have one hell of a chance of getting to the final this time

Probably better off inflicting some physical damage

ha, although we tried that last year and it didn't do us any good

Practice makes perfect.
And Chelsea weren't our direct rival last year, so more to gain this time round!

Practice makes perfect.
true, they have more on their plate than just being stoppers this time
Yep. Some damage to a couple of their players would go a long way to increasing our chances of a title run.Practice makes perfect.
We need someone to come on with a few minutes left and take one for the team, knowing they'll probably be banned for the rest of the season.
I'll do it and I won't even charge (although Spurs will have to pay my fine)

Ha. I was about to say something similar. Send him on for the last 5 to crease Hazard.

Just wondering, but IIRC isn't there a certain number of games a player must play to get a league winner's medal?
I seem to remember a few years ago when UTD won the league at a canter they started giving game time to their worst players to ensure they got a medal. Is this still a thing?

No. Now the champions are given X number of medals (I am not sure of the exact figure) for the club to distribute to whichever players they wish

I wouldn't mind even if it was at the Bridge. But with a close to full strength team.

Knock out Kante and they'll fold.

Considering Chelski has fielded the same 11 in like all the PL games, it will be a tough decision how they distribute the 10+ extra medals on their remaining 60 first team players.
I was thinking Hazard would be easier to break.

This will be one of those times when the Chelski fans will point at RLC and talk about their youth players getting game time and winning things. Despite the fact that he's probably played less than 90 minutes in the league this year.

It did give us that glorious stamp by Lamela on Fabregas' hand. That was a thing of beauty and justified every penny of his transfer fee in one incident.

Oh, I don't know. Watching Eric Dier commit about 6 yellow/orange card worthy challenges in a game and remain on the pitch was hilarious

Yep. Exactly what I thought. Amazing. I know for some it won't matter unless we win something to prove our worth ( and I would LOVE that to happen, of course). But this is just another demonstration of not only how we are massively punching above our weight, but also of how we are worthy title contenders, not just flukes. Of course you can make an arbitrary cut-off at any time any time and if the starting point of this comparison had been 2 or 3 seasons ago it would look very different. But the very fact that tables are being made about us (in a positive way) is very telling.
If you watched the same bit on BTSport you would also have heard Hoddle being quite critical of Eriksen, saying he doesn't produce against the big teams. It saddened me to hear Hoddle play down Eriksen in that way. Maybe it's because he has such high standards - and with good reason. But he wasn't as appreciative as I would have expected. Maybe I misinterpreted what he said.
EDIT I tried to insert a screenshot of the table Ricky referred to but I don't think it has worked.
Here it is...

7 matches left. I rather focus on our games than other team's squad. We have a chance to break our points record, finish in 2nd place and win automatic CL qualification.
