Fulham as it will leave us as with 3 games to overtake them and hopefully widens the gap after the game tomorrow to those fighting relegation 10th downwards.
1. We'll finish above them anyway, regardless - I really don't see them as rivals for a European spot - not yet anyway.
2. The pure hilarity of a weekend of Chelsea fans spitting out dummies, chucking toys out of prams, #potterout trending etc - and Potter's losing prezzer would be a joy to watch.
Unfortunately, it won't happen - comfortable win for Chelsea tonight I'm afraid.
Fulham.
We should do the business tomorrow and go back above them. Our fate is in our own hands.
Chelsea losing after spending half a billion would be too funny not to want.
If Fulham win, they go above us by three points, though we would likely still have a better goal difference and three games in hand.
If Chelsea win they go one point above us, though we would likely still have a better goal difference and two games in hand.
Suppose we win those games in hand, a Fulham win, and chelsea win their game in hand on fulham:
Brighton 40
Fulham 34
Chelsea 32
A chelsea win, and brighton and chelsea win their games in hand
Brighton 40
Chelsea 35
Fulham 31
So, before looking at any ill will toward either team, wouldn't a 6 point gap on the team below be better than a 5 point gap, especially with a superior goal difference?
