Chelsea actually have a point more than at the same stage in their title winning season. Also their points total in that season was somewhat a high anomaly. Everybody is having a very good points total year at the top of the table by any historical standards, so if they're all playing badly, they sure as hell are winning a lot of games.

Again, Robert seems to think everyone sucks because ManU does.
I'd think the team with downs is the one battling with Everton and West Brom for the Europa league.

Chelsea only beat Crystal Palace by 1. Fire Conte, bring back His Morinhoness.

Like I said. The original post was in reference to the points at that time. It's changed

Combined top 5 points, week 16 - 2016 - 171, 2015 - 155, 2014 - 160, 2013 - 164, 2012 - 153
I had to go back five years to see a points total that was slightly higher. The top five teams have all been collecting more points, which would categorically prove that the quality of performance from teams at the top of the table is better than in most years. This is not a poor year. Last year was a poor year, hence Leicester winning the title; this is statistically born out by the low points totals of the top teams in week 16 2015.
Do you want to go on with this? You are completely wrong that the top teams are not playing well this year. they are playing better than most years.

Ps @chibob , at the point at which you made the original Chelsea comment they were only three points off their 2014-15 pace, not only that, but the top five had a much higher combined points total at that stage.
Rather than Chelsea being the smartest of the dumb, they are the smartest of the smart right now. That shouldn't really be rocket science though considering the managerial line up of the top five is the best the Premier League has probably ever seen.

Agreed. I'm a huge Cesc mark.

Yes, it should have. This AR is not having a good second half.
Wait, Arsenal got the wrong side of a controversial offside call?
Those uniforms. Damn.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth could be good. Remember it wasn't long since they beat Liverpool 4-3 and they will probably go for it.

If he only called them matches instead of games or pitch instead of field.
Yeh I'm sure all those losses had nothing to do with it

Yup, he only won two games and lost 11....he got zero transfer windows to go out and get players to help get Swansea out of the relegation zone.
Swansea sucked before he got there, sucked while he was there and will still suck now that he's gone. Enjoy the Championship in 2018-19, Swansea.

There's only so long you can last when you keep selling your best players. Bradley is better off the hell out of there. They will return to the Championship and even league 1 for good. Really low odds them coming back because of the amount of better positioned wealthy clubs down there.

No one is saying it should've been a cake walk but he knew exactly what he was taking on and he's done awful. How many points did he actually scrape together? 5? And didn't they drop out of all other competitions too?
But yeh the xenophobia hasn't helped his situation but that's not the reason they've sacked him.
I agree with Hayvis tho, selling Ayew and Williams last year completely fucked them.

Surprised Mignolet only gave up one today.
More points than this time last year. More goals scored than this time last year. Fewer goals allowed than this time last year.

So many more points at the top of the table, that you're worse off. Further from the leaders, and also with a very strong set of teams, all better contenders than last year. Tottenham can book the Europa League now.

I love the way that the punishment for making the Europa League is two extra games.
I suppose it was slightly better than either of the ones in Kane's brace or Dele's brace.
So, by default, yes it is the goal of the year thus far.
