I ran a calculator to just check if it is plausible - and it is. In fact, it's "more than plausible" unless we start scoring goals.

Of course it's like "if I had eggs I will have egg&bacon for breakfast, if I had bacon" because one has to depend on other teams' results in the last rounds.

But still - this is a scenario and with a loss at Emirates we will be one step nearer this awful plausible outcome.

Ipswich or Plymouth next season, anyone?

Lets forget Poch, and get Kompany because he has history of getting a team out of the championship :0)

Last month  I was looking forward to this match, as we can hit the nail on the coffin the way we did to Liverpool in 14 and Tottenham in 16.

But now I'm thinking more about how low we can keep the score.

I had my leaving drinks at work last night, so I'm a little delicate today... this was not what I needed to stumble upon on my morning visit to CFCnet towers! 

I posted something a few days ago from Twitter that showed that it is in reality almost impossible for us to get relegated.

Sky Sports are predicting us to win 1=0! What the hell have they been smoking? 😂😂😂

They make Arsenal the underdog so that they can still celebrate them even though they've bottled the league title.

So the question is, can we get one more point or score 6 goals to improve our goal difference. Well, neither is likely so I guess we're screwed. Thanks mate.

Are these match threads still a thing?

OK, I'll bite, we lose, we don't score a goal.

Next?

So basically every team below us needs to win all their remaining games, bar when they play each other?

Leeds, for example, beating City, Spurs and Newcastle?  Leicester would need to beat Newcastle and Liverpool. Forest would need to beat us and Arsenal.

Put it a different way;

Leeds and Forest currently have 30 from 33 (0.9 PPG) and Leicester 29 from 33  (0.88 PPG)

For the above scenario to happen, Leeds need 9 from 5 (1.8 PPG, a 100% improvement) , Leicester 12 from 5 (2.4 PPG, a 172% improvement) , and Forest 10 from 5 (2 PPG a 120% improvement) 

 

Does any of that sound "more than plausible"?

Wow, I’ve heard legendary tales of this so called phenomenon but even in the darkest recesses of my memories I’m struggling to picture it.

I blame it on my not native English. With plausible I'd defined it as theoretically and probably should have said that in stead. But you missed my egg& bacon phrase 🙂 🙂

Don’t blame yourself. if I were you I’d blame Hakim Ziyech or Christian Pulisic, it’s all their fault. 😁

To cheer our  fans up, we should have a mariachi band with chelsea shirts on playing a Mexican version of  "blue is the colour" outside the ground.

A fair assessment of where we are now.Really tragic in all honesty.I think we need to go back to the bible to see is it possible to turn things around in the short term?

To say I'm disappointed with Frank is an understatement.At least show some emotion and pretend, even if you don't care.

Standing with you'r arms folded is not the look our fans expect from one of our football legends.

No, it's awful and we also lost 6-0 back in the good old days !!

Definitely, Pulisic - Hazards replacement 😆 has a lot to answer for!!

I think I'd be suicidal if I witnessed that 😆 unless it was Pulisic, Zyiech, and Sterling as the 3 amigos.

Paulw66  - Honest Question - did you ever think in your wildest dreams over the past 25 - 30 years, you would be writing stats proving Chelsea are safe from relegation

THAT is the top question of the Season let alone this week.

I can remember when that "exercise" started about Christmas but to have sunk so low so fast is almost beyond belief.

[Sciatika]

When we went down in 1975, I never believed it would actually happen until we went on a losing run towards the end of the season. We were really c**p that year.
