In the rest of the month Chelsea have the easiest ride I think with Blackburn away , West ham and Villa at home. Villa because against the top 4 away from home they've mostly been awful and barely bothered leaving their own half.
We've got Birmingham away, West ham at home and Hull City away, Brum could be a very tough game, they've been fantastic this year and shut down CHelsea, Pool and did they get points off Utd aswell? Hull should be easy but have been somewhat of a bogey team for us.
Utd have the Liverpool game, though its at home I believe and could be the kind of game that spurs them on to a great run if they win it, with Pool playing the way they are, thats quite probable right now.
I don't think we have the slightest chance of the CL, we've failed to beat Utd or Chelsea this season and been thoroughly spanked by Chelsea both times. While tonight was a great result, Porto were appauling and we'd have to beat some ridiculously better teams to win the CL. The league is within reach largely because of Chelsea and Utd throwing away so many points, any other year we'd be well out of it by now. I still think we'll end up finishing 10 points adrift of the top but anything can happen.
Ok we won the last 4, but Sunderland, Stoke, Burnley and Liverpool(who sucked) includes the worst away team this year and the team in the worst form (till tonight). THe previous 4 games against better opposition we weren't nearly as good. Swings and roundabouts, the problem is after a swing of easy games we're still behind. Ideally we'd want to be ahead after a run of easier games, so when Chelsea have easier games and we have harder games, it ends up level.
