What A-40 has said over 3 months ago. I don't even understand the apprehension as if there was a title race

three months ago, City were just 0-5 points behind with around 15 games left=+30pts in the air. what do you mean there was no title race?
There's still a title race till Chelshit wins 4 games

If you won't be excited like a sexy cougar gave you head to see Hazard join your team, do like this O/.


I just want to take a poll of Liars on this thread.

@chic2pimp.

have you ever seen this footage on skynews or skysports?

that's the manchester derby late last year. hooliganism hasn't stopped one bit in english football. british media just hide it from the mainstream so as not to ruin the brand.

CHAMPIONS-IN-WAITING:
Bible Reading: Psalms EPL 2:1-7
To ka bayii wipe (it read thus);
1." Why do the Gunners rage, and the Mancunians imagine a vain thing?
2. The clubs of EPL set themselves, and the
referees take counsel, against Roman and his army, saying...
3. Let us break their point gap asunder, and cast away their 3 points from us.
4. He that sitteth in the dug out shall laugh: the Special One shall have them in derision.
5. Then shall He speak unto them in the press and vex the FA in his sore displeasure.
6. Yet have I set my Hazard upon the unshaken Bridge of Stamford.
7. I will declare the decree: the Owner has said unto me, This is my trophy; this month have I wrapped you up.

May the Lord bless his words and use it for
the deliverance of the Heathen...

Top 4 remaining fixtures.

If you ask me, I'll say Arsenal have the easiest fixtures.

Your Math is shifty. How does 15 games = 30pts? Why stop at 15 games? we might as well go back to Matchday 12 to support the illusion even further. There was a race last season. A title race is going on in the La Liga and Ligue 1 presently, but what is going on now isn't a title race.

Can you bet even $50 against Chelsea winning the title?

Can you bet even $50 against Chelsea winning the title?

I believe we are in the early month of April? 3 months ago was around 6th January according to my calendar (don't know about yours)
these are the current & 10th January tables, so how was there no competition for the league title?

Chelsea did not finish 6th because they were not good enough they finished there because of AVB's incompetence and RDM ultimately opting to focus on Europe. The only key man who left was Drogba. Not an excuse for Chelsea to get knocked out of the group stage. By landing Pizarro, Mandzukic, Martinez, Shaqiri we also had to rebuild

Chelsea finished Fifth because their squad had aged and no longer good enough, they needed rebuilding, you can blame the coach all you like.
Neither of those names you are reeling out were major buys for Bayern and none of them became integral part of the team.

I can say that for just about any team in Europe


Their transfer dealings and wage bill do not necessarily agree with you. What Chelsea lack is the pull and pedigree of Madrid and Barca certainly not the funds

Madrid and Barca pull and Pedigree. were built with money, Chelsea's highest buy was Torres at 50 million pounds, Barca and Madrid keep spending above that every season, on players. The figos, Ronaldos, Suarez, Neymar, Henry, Ibrahimovic, Villa, Bale, Rodriguez,etc.
It wasn't pedigree Pedigree that brought them to Madrid and Barca, it was the money, Milan has a greater European pedigree than Barca, since they went poor, look at how many top stars their European pedigree has brought to them, yea, the Menez and Essiens of this world.


What was Hazard's role in Chelsea reaching the semi-finals? If we rolled out the top 15 players in the Champions League last season. Hazard would not make it there


Hazard was the most important player for Chelsea last season, he is the spark for them, subdue Hazard and. Chelsea look mediocre.

In a 'bad team' you can still be the difference maker. My question here is why has Hazard either with good or bad players failed to make any difference in the Champions League

He took them to Semi finals in his second season, he was their most influential player in this season's campaign, he will do more in the future, that's while I said he is a future Ballon d'or winner.


So this is your defence as to why Hazard has only scored 2 goals in 3 seasons from open play in the Champions League? Hazard has not been pulling his own weight so the issue of Messi and Ronaldo possessing a better supporting cast does not arise

Sorry, it arises, and moreover you can't just use goals to judge Hazard, he is not a striker, the Zidane and Iniesta example applies here.

Even with the arrival of these 'genuine world class talents' Hazard failed yet again to perform in Europe

Well, he had a bad game against PSG, but before then, he was their best player in the group stages, and had the best number of completed dribbles in the group stages, I remember that Ronaldinho's Barca didn't go far in 2004 champions league, he only won the Balloon d'or based on his La liga performances. This was just Hazard's 3rd champions league appearance and he already has a semi final appearance under his belt, his best years are ahead.

2012/2013 - Nowhere to be found vs Juve
2013/2014 - Invisible in both legs vs Atleti, Chelsea got past PSG in his absence
2014/2015 - Bar the usual penalty was invisible in both legs vs PSG

He got the away goal in Paris in 2014, penalties are part of the game.
I can write a similar thing against any player

I've seen Messi and Ronaldo in UCL matches decide the tie with moments of individual genius. In 3 years since Hazard joined Chelsea I have never seen that

No one is comparing Hazard to Messi and Ronaldo, so I don't know the relevance of this part.

With the truckload of money Chelsea has been spending they are due a league title. And Fabregas and Costa's contributions have been more telling IMO.

I can say the same of any title winning team. For example, with the truckload of money Madrid has been spending, they were due to a champions league trophy last season, it has nothing to do with Ronaldo, the addition of Bale who got the winning goal at 1-1 has been more telling.


Why does Hazard always find it difficult? How is the 3rd best player in the World according to you yet to make his impact felt in any competition other than the EPL

He has been making impact in other competitions, your eyes are just looking for goals and assists, there is more to Hazard's game than that.



At 0-0 the game would have gone to penalties at the very worst. Ronaldo that year finished top scorer in the competition so I don't see the comparison with Eden 5 'goals in 3 years' Hazard


The comparison is that Ronaldo won't have gotten his Balloon d'or without that Scholes goals, Messi would have won it.

Mueller wasn't the main man? Looooool! Bros just stick to your forte which is the EPL and stop dropping names for the fun of it.

Kroos - No assist from open play at the World Cup injured in our Champions League title run
Oezil - Looool
Lahm - Was a fantastic player but played a different role definitely not more important than Mueller
Ribery - Not as important as Mueller
Robben - Equal level of importance but Mueller has the edge because of his durability

Only astute analysts truly understand what Mueller brings to the table and it goes beyond dribbles and flicks.

Mueller is Bayern and Germany's most dangerous player because you never quite know what he's going to do, where he is going to pop up or how you even go about marking him. How you don't know this is one of earth's mysteries


Muller is not even the second most dangerous player in Bayern. Robben and Ribery are and that's why Ribery was nominated for the Ballon d'or the year Bayern won the Champion league and not Muller.

In Germany, he is not the most dangerous player, just happens to get the goals, nothing g spectacular about his game,probably why he was never nominated in the Ballon d'or both in 2010 and 2014,despite his goals instead Nuer was, there is more to being a Ballon dor prospect than just goals, comparing Hazard to Muller is a joke.

Meh! All I see is a player who can only shine in the EPL and can't cut it in the bright lights of the Champions League. You can make special arrangements to cage Messi, Mueller, Ronaldo. Xavi, Robben their brilliance would still shine through. [/quote]

You can't seriously be arguing about a race with 17 games to go when the men have not been separated from the boys. By that time even Southampton would be talking about winning the league. We are now in the clutch and Chelsea's nearest challengers are almost 10pts behind despite playing more games.

As at Matchday 31 Chelsea's nearest rival are behind by almost double digits, this pushes your January 10 table into irrelevance

Again I ask can you place a bet of even $50 that Chelsea won't win the league?

Most of them are not sincere, I have been asking everyone on this forum if anyone is willing to bet against Chelsea winning the league

I even offered $1,000 to $500 bet no one took it, yet they claimed there was a competition

Chelsea led the league from Day 1 and they would win it easily

If we wan talk of challenegers go to Spain or France

pazienza:

Neither of those names you are reeling out were major buys for Bayern and none of them became integral part of the team.

Nope! Their squad was still good enough to finish in the top 4. AVB's incompetence played a huge role in why they finished so low! Never underestimate the incompetence of a coach and how bad it can make
a team look

Loool! Dude please stick to the EPL! The more you type the more it becomes painfully obvious you know nothing about Bayern and who plays what role on the team.

Mandzukic our top scorer in the Bundesliga who went on to score the opening goal of the Champions League final was not integral?
Martinez who formed the best Defensive midfield partnership in Europe was not integral?
Pizarro and Shaqiri our super-subs who helped us in our Pokal runs not integral?

Don't make me laugh please just stop

Money is useless without pedigree that is why Man City and PSG cannot buy Ronaldo or Messi even with €200m. Money is important but money can only go so far

You just keep dropping names. Go and check the net-spend of these teams and get back to me. Of course you would scream when Madrid buys Bale for €88m but would forget that they also sold Oezil for €42m and Higuain for €38m in the same transfer window. This year we saw them buy James but sell Angel Di Maria for €60m.
Barca would buy Suarez for €78m but sell Sanchez and Fabregas for €67m

I reiterate that money was not an issue for Chelsea. If they could spend over £30m on freaking Willian, They would spend more if they could attract the names

pazienza:


Hazard was the most important player for Chelsea last season, he is the spark for them, subdue Hazard and. Chelsea look mediocre.

Taah! He did zilch in the Champions League. Infact Chelsea were able to beat PSG in his absence

pazienza:

He took them to Semi finals in his second season, he was their most influential player in this season's campaign, he will do more in the future, that's while I said he is a future Ballon d'or winner.

He did not take them anywhere. Where could he have possibly taken them to with his measly two goals and ZERO assists? Eto'o and Ba were more useful in that campaign

pazienza:

Sorry, it arises, and moreover you can't just use goals to judge Hazard, he is not a striker, the Zidane and Iniesta example applies here.

How can it arise? What does Ronaldo's support cast have to do with Hazard's personal failures?

Jonathan fail to perform you talk say Obama get superior cabinet. Schweppes

Hazard is a forward! He has neither the goals nor the titles all he has is your sentiments so how does the comparison apply?

pazienza:

Well, he had a bad game against PSG, but before then, he was their best player in the group stages, and had the best number of completed dribbles in the group stages, I remember that Ronaldinho's Barca didn't go far in 2004 champions league, he only won the Balloon d'or based on his La liga performances. This was just Hazard's 3rd champions league appearance and he already has a semi final appearance under his belt, his best years are ahead.

Best player according to who? You keep going on about dribbles but where was the end product? Ghostmode! We no dey see am

The bar has been set much higher bruh. Ronaldinho's feat that year would not have been enough to win him the Balon D'or in these days and times.

Of course he has a semi-final appearance. He also has a First knockout and group phase exit under his belt. I agree his best years might be ahead of him which is why he is not comparable to his ancestors atm

pazienza:

He got the away goal in Paris in 2014, penalties are part of the game.
I can write a similar thing against any player

Off another player's sweat. The real hardwork was at the Bridge and he limped out and made no contributions when it mattered most as usual

pazienza:

I can say the same of any title winning team. For example, with the truckload of money Madrid has been spending, they were due to a champions league trophy last season, it has nothing to do with Ronaldo, the addition of Bale who got the winning goal at 1-1 has been more telling.

Nice try! Only that Ronaldo scored 17 goals in the competition (a record) and also scored in every stage (another record) its laughable that you try to compare with Hazard who is not even the highest scorer or assist provider on his team. Very laughable

pazienza:


He has been making impact in other competitions, your eyes are just looking for goals and assists, there is more to Hazard's game than that.

What are the impacts? Don't tell me dribbles cos Okocha did more than that

pazienza:



The comparison is that Ronaldo won't have gotten his Balloon d'or without that Scholes goals, Messi would have won it.

Without the Scholes goal the game would have gone into extra-time and if no one scored then penalties. Who is to say Barcelona wouldn't have lost anyway?

pazienza:


Muller is not even the second most dangerous player in Bayern. Robben and Ribery are and that's why Ribery was nominated for the Ballon d'or the year Bayern won the Champion league and not Muller.

Then you don't know about Bayern and you need to listen from people who support the club. That Ribery won the award does not make him Bayern's most dangerous player. Anyone who saw Bayern that year knows better

pazienza:

In Germany, he is not the most dangerous player, just happens to get the goals, nothing g spectacular about his game,probably why he was never nominated in the Ballon d'or both in 2010 and 2014,despite his goals instead Nuer was, there is more to being a Ballon dor prospect than just goals, comparing Hazard to Muller is a joke.

You really need to do your research on what danger means. It seems your idea of danger is how many dribbles a player can average per game. Sorry but goals and assists are what wins games and titles. He might not have made the Final 3 but he has at least finished much higher than Hazard has. Hell even Kalusha Bwalya has finished higher on the Balon D'or list than Hazard

You are right though its a joke to compare Hazard to a cerebral assassin like Mueller. What Mueller has achieved it would take Hazard decades to match

you said you saw no title race even 3 months ago - na you talk am na no be me
@dayokanu is this the first time a team will lead from matchday 1 till the end? United did that not too long ago after the World Cup in Germany, so how can that mean/tell that they faced no competition that season?

when United lost the league on goal difference, what was the point difference between them & City by matchday 32? 8 solid points!
@bimffo, you might as well not turn up for your games - the FA will bring the trophy to your door nonetheless

whether Chelshit will win the league or not was not the point, just accept your 'three month ago' projections were wrong - nobody dey flog anybody cane for here - kalas

I said the title was Chelsea's as at 3 months ago. Stop blowing fallacies and twisting words bro.

In a season that runs till May you go back to January to show there was a race? Are you serious? Why stop at January you might as well go back to October

Nothing wrong with my posts which clearly illustrates that I was confident Chelsea would win the league.

How can a team have no real competition potentially over the course of the last 10 weeks of the season and yet ninjas go on like there is a race
