Claret Blue and Green
I wonder what bollocks the Chelsea manage will come out with today.
That's a great result for us. Yes, I get the 'we want to finish as high as possible' argument, and I empathise with it, but the difference between 3rd and 4th, to me, is nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders. Even the difference between 4th and 5th is now a bit 'meh'. But the difference between 5th and 6th is potentially catastrophic, so ANY result that keeps the team in 6th (whoever they are at the time) as far away from us as possible, is a great result to me.Having Chelsea 3 results away from us, instead of just 2, is also a massive milestone. After tonight's result, if we can win 2 out of the next 6, they would have to win EVERY remaining game to overtake us. (Well, technically they could do us on goal difference if they win 4 and draw one, IF we were lose the other 4 games). Two wins and a draw from our last six games and they need to be perfect to the end of the season to go above us.Tonight was huge.
The only caveat being that 1 of those wins MUST be against Spuds.
