We really can't take anything for granted, as easy as it may look on paper, we are going to face 3 home games where the opposition will be playing for pride if nothing else. If we are going to win this league we will have to do it by beating sides that have nothing to lose. Watford are safe, Boro are pretty much gone but not without a fight, and those arseholes from Sunderland always seem to save their best performances for playing against us.

It's not done and dusted just yet, although it's pretty close. On a side note, Fantastic second half  performance today, really was the stuff of champions.

An absolutely fantastic result.

This was the one game where everyone thought that we would either draw or lose, especially given Everton's rock-solid home form. Instead, we come out with a big win.

I have to tip my hat to Pedro - he's scored some absolutely crucial worldies this season. That may yet be the difference between 1st and 2nd at this rate.

On another note - f**k you Arsenal. At least this win might have deflated Spurs. 

We should be aiming for 4 in 4 to wrap up the season. We're definitely good enough to do it.

He's as mad as a box of frogs. But love his celebrations

Everton had won eight home games in a row before yesterday.

So us winning 3-0 was a great result.

Oh and a clean sheet was also very pleasing.

Yep, I can vouch for what beerqueen said...we were the only ones making noise throughout...Goodison was flat all day, weird given the run they've been on...Pedro goal led to sheer mayhem - just one of those celebrations where everyone is going fcuking mental

Never heard Goodison as flat as that, it's usually very loud whenever we go there. I reckon the main reason for this was the fact that Saturday's results clinched a Europa League spot for Everton next season; their season essentially ended there and then.

Certainly didn't intend to be critical of the fans, just the way it sounded on tele at the time.

Don't worry I realised that's what you meant but it was really loud believe me!  It's funny how what you can hear on tv can vary so much.

Sky love playing around with the different microphones around the ground...

You could barely hear our fans all game, so it must have been something to do with the Mics. I even noticed, during one of our goal celebrations, that they actually seemed to turn the volume down as Azpi was in mid-roar at the crowd.

There is a video on Youtube of the Kop doing their pre-match Karaoke before one of those miserable 'sh*t on a stick' CL semis up at Anfield when FSW was in charge. Our fans were drowning out the home fans with a very loud 'Chelsea Chelsea' chant, and Sky just turned the sound right down. It was unreal.

Spurs have most of their remains games away from home where their record is less strong.

Exactly as I predicted, 0-3 to Chelsea.

Leicester will give them a game.

Yea they will but if we win the next two they will lose the title with a loss at Man U, Leicester won't matter if that happens

Playing away may seem a disadvantage for Spurs on paper but I think it might help them, playing away 4pts behind there's less pressure on them whereas we're expected to win our home games.

Put Cesc in the starting line up for the next three home games and he will get the job done for us.

 

I really believe the players know how to win now even in tight games they know how to focus and be paitent. I expect wins in all 4 remaining games as I expect Spurs to win all theirs

I just hope jose will win it again for chelsea on may 14th

I'm honestly wearing my buddy's man u shirt that day

I lost interest in Champions League Bayern Munich  royally screw 2 years in row, match vs madrid pure buttocks

Who cares about Bayern? Besides, 2012 was so much sweeter exactly for the reason that we beat one of UEFA's darlings in the semi final.

This. If anyone deserves to finally win it it's Buffon.

shoutout to @BelgradeCFC who posted this on the Don Antonio thread - I wanted to post this video here in the match thread

Even at matches @ Da Bridge I feel the TV feeds are muted & they place Mics only in the Away section of the Shed End

We getting a MOTM thread?  My memory struggles enough as it is what with all the whiskey I've been drinking, I'm going to forget who played well shortly.

Annddddd it's gone

MotM for me was Azipilicueta, he was calm under the early pressure and didn't put a foot wrong all game, as usual. He was also there to mop up when both Gaz and Luiz looked nervy dealing with Lukaku.
