You're just pressuring yourselves needlessly. The players aren't saying it, the manager isn't saying it, a majority of the fanbase aren't saying it.

If we're top in May after beating Liverpool, I'd take that back and say that we are. Until then, we're not

Err, "Yourselves" That would be whom, actual Chelsea fans?

So, you don't enjoy watching Chelsea because the pressure that comes from My club competing for top honours spoils it for you????? I hear West Ham, and Tottenham are looking for fans like you.

I am absolutely certain that every other title contender doesn't give a damn when a canny manager or player of a team that is second in the table, and which can absorb one loss and still be second, tries to tell them they aren't really there at all, and they are just mucking around, and really only playing for the fun of it............... 

Read again what I wrote that caused you to react,  but this time try to involve logical semantics. It's a part of linguistics that will help you to avoid a great many pratfalls in the future.........

Why do you always fall back on the "you're not a real fan" crap every time somebody's opinion is slightly different from your own? It's like you're constantly looking for a reason to say "I'm a bigger Chelsea fan than you", it's childish.

Because I am an intolerant and irritating, die hard Chelsea fan. Why else? I am also subtle. I only make an indication of the fact that there is clearly a lot of 'plastic' in these forums without saying 'You're not a real Chelsea fan'. 😉

84 posts in, are you here for much longer as you really are a pretentious prat at times. All you ever seem to want to do is pick at the posts of other posters.

I personally don't think that there is such a thing as a title race when we are not even half way through the season. What i am enjoying is that we are at the right end of the table and we are playing entertaining football.

Once we get into February and we are down to 10 - 12 games to go then it should be hotting up into a race for title. hopefully we will still be in and around it then.

 
Forget the title race talk. Just enjoying every moment of this team right now. We’ve had a rotten few years but this level of play and results is right up there with second year Jose, Carlo and Conte purple patch! Still a small sample though.

Go back, read the original post again In full, THEN check Deino's reaction, and my retort. 

You don't read the posts I make that are not in reply to another post, so I shall ignore your confirmation bias. 😉

Wow, you're sat here with me are you. You can actually see what I am reading. Ah, that's why you're so supercilious with us all, you're entitled to be. You're omnipresent.

Are you mentally well? You are way too excited and way too aggravated that you can't even understand basic English. A large portion of the Chelsea fanbase know we're not in a title race yet. You are pressuring yourselves, yourselves here referring to the fans that are calling for a title race this early. You can get sucked in to the media narrative and pressure yourself all you want game by game, I just want to enjoy watching us play after years of poor managerial appointments.

The players and managers are obviously competing for every wins and until the team reaches the point where they can legitimately win the title, then we can say we're in the title race. 

The 21/22 PL season we were top by Christmas and fell off in January against some really poor teams whilst City went on stupid winning streak. Still a lot of football left to be played, still a lot of twists and turns.

Calling people out about being fans and whatnot when you just joined this year? Come off the high horse

Our solidity/defence fell off a cliff as far as I remember, did T Silva get injured? He wasn't the same after that. And then of course the situation in Donbass escalated, just to remind everyone a war has been going on there since 2014.

A pretentious prat and now mentally ill. Lol.

Are we in a title race? If we are not, then why the hell  are we all here? I'd believe we were in a title race, even if I supported Sc**thorpe. What is it with these WORDS that get's you so upset that your enjoyment of watching your own team is spoiled by someone mentioning the dreaded T word? Why are you are fan, why bother? Seriously, why bother? We are second, dude. Do you seriously want us to fail from.there? We might just do that even in a year when you finally believe in your teams abilities, but at what point do you ever enjoy the game, the team, the buzz, the highs, the lows? Apparently  only at the end of the season when your bragging rights are safely confirmed, and you can enjoy your summer hols, before coming back here to moan all over again. Why should I get off the high horse? It's winter and the seat is incredibly warm from you sitting on it so long.

Silva didn't get injured. It started in Nov. Chilwell got a freak ACL tear against Juve. Late Dec, Lukaku's interview came out, Rudiger and Christensen's contract wasn't properly sorted, we drew Pool, lost against City. In Oct we were top on a 5pt lead over City and a 3pt lead over Pool, by Feb we were 3rd with City having a 16pt lead over us. It's not like we were poor either, we had plenty of wins just a few losses and draws here and there.

There is no title race in December.

We're all here because we love watching Chelsea FC, I was here when the club was being sanctioned by the government and the club was in danger of being liquidated. I was there when we protested the Ricketts'. Now I'm still here and am enjoying the football and solidarity the team finally has. 

The one upset here is you. All I said and consistently said is we're not in a title race yet. Come May, after we beat Liverpool(or draw/lose whatever), and still top then we're in a title race.

Maybe I'll read your posts in The Chelsea Liquidation thread another day. I'm sure it will make interesting reading. Just for the record, what ever wild doom laden words were being spoken here, that scenario never transpired, and that was not down to anything said or thought by fans. This is what I found bizarre, and is this what I have responded to - " Proclaiming we are in a title race takes away that enjoyment"

And how do we get to be in a position to win a title.........................we engage in a process of obtaining that title, AKA a title race, which is what a competitive football league is all about every season! We happen to be engaging rather well  with that process, despite so many fans finding so much wrong with the players, the manager, the tactics, and the positional choices, even as we are in second place, which is in the top four and happens to be just behind first place in a 20 team league. 

As for the May thing. We may beat Liverpool on the 3rd when not even in the top 4. We may beat Liverpool on the 3rd, go top, and still not be winners on the 25th. We may lose to Liverpool on the 3rd, but still be title winners on the 25th. I am sure there are other permutations, and neither you nor I have a clue as to which one may come true. Right now we are in a title race by virtue of the fact that we are right there, and that makes me feel good. EOM.
