Mark Carlos Tevez takes the title race and the Gameweek by the scruff of the neck with a stunning display in City’s merciless mauling of Norwich. United duly picked up the gauntlet, however, with a four-goal drubbing of Villa this afternoon.
Our Members can lose themselves in the statistics from all of the Gameweek’s matches so far – here’s our pick of the key numbers, together with our thoughts on the destination of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus points…
Surely getting in the top 4 is still the most important thing for Chelsea?
Realistically speaking they have no chance in the Champions League, and the FA Cup is just a national cup and not that big a deal for a big team.
If they have no chance in the CL, why is getting into the CL next year more important than winning something?
It's not like they need the money?
Because its good to be there, and no matter how much money they have they should want to play on the big stage.
FA cup final at Wembley is the big stage. You're taking my point slightly out of context anyway. I'm not saying they shouldn't want to be in the CL, of course they do.
But you're arguing for them not concentrating on the CL for the fact they won't win it, and at the same time using that to justify them going forthat again rather than something they can win. It's a self-defeating argument
Yes, they need the money.
Financial Fair Play.
The FA cup is the biggest domestic cup competition in the world. It is still a massive thing to win.
Only for English people it is. To everyone else is it just another national cup.
Well last time I checked, Chelsea still play in the English leagues!
So which domestic cup competition is bigger?
Presumably you know of one that is beamed to more countries than the FA cup final is?
If they had no chance in the CL
they wouldn't aim for top4 as well
Al in Sawtry: "What's worse? Going down easily when fouled in the box, or celebrating a goal when you know the ball hasn't crossed the line?"
He raises a good point. Topical too
they maybe thought it did cross the line. As with the ref they don't have replays to looks at.
Exactly, if the referee thought it went in, we can hardly assume the Chelsea players didn't!
Even the players that were on the line?
I dunno, someone made a valid point earlier that it sucks that people play up to things like that, and diving, but the fact is if they don't then they will only lose out.
Something big needs to change from fifa imo. It's becoming a farce
A) Walcott or B) Sessegnon -> Ben Arfa?
just got in- Evans assist! what a star. great value
Exactly
Anyone hoping Chelsea still wins so Spurs players aren't rested during the DGW?
Hoping becuz chelsea fan
Opposite actually. Hoping Chelsea players aren't rested. Don't think Bale will be rested for the double because he's Gareth Bale, and Ade should start too if Saha isn't fit.
yes, just not sure who to get yet. i still have Bale so he is in.
After that it's 1 or 2 from Friedel, VdV and Ade
David Luiz apparently stretchered off as he suffered an erection in his hamstering after feeling the Chelsea's physio hand touch him.
Can't blame the man
Already got Cahill and was thinking of getting rid but I think I'll hang on to him for now.
Robert 121, you're so f*cking dumb
Ctrl c, ctrl v what a f*cking plum
Clogging the page up with that muck
Oh you're such a dirty slut
You made him do it again!
Which combo for gw 36:
A) Walcott Rooney
B) dempsey Rooney (4pt hit)
C) Walcott adebayor (4pt hit)
Already own cisse, so basically Walcott to dempsey for a hit or not?
Apparently the non red card for Cech was the right decision as you can't retrospectively send a player off for anything other than violent conduct. Crazy. Another strange rule the FA bring up.
Sincerely hope the Copyandpastefiend hasnt started a new trend....
fks sake walker
Ban this guy
Get out retard
Can Cech be shown a red card afterwards and be banned retrospectively?
Only for violent conduct. He can't even be sent off in the game retrospectively. Remarkable.
Someone please ban him. So annoying.
