This season is a foregone conclusion IMO. The ONLY possibility I can see of Chelsea dropping points, is if they get past Barca in the Champions League, and really go hell for leather to win the CL, this could possibly lead to a slight lapse in their league form, but at the same time, there squad is so full of quality, that they could play a different team in both competitions.
I think we need to be happy with the rapid progress of the past few months, consolidate at least third place, then attack the end of the season for the second place and automatic Champions League spot, espeically after this extra long season (inc. World Cup of course).
But then, can we keep the good league form and 'bigger' champions league games to come, working in tandem??....For me, that is key to the rest of our (league) season.
