Not A Big Believer In Diversity
It was the biggest mentally, if you ask me. Think this'll do some serious damage.
Well we wouldn't have won the league by winning yesterday either. We could have lost vs Man City and won yesterday and we'd be in the same position. We could have won both and then go lose vs Bournemouth.Those games are history. We wont win the league by winning a game that took place 4 months ago!

We just need to get more points than the other teams, doesn't really matter how we get them. But games vs teams close to us are a bit bigger since a win means a loss for them.
And I find it odd that people are now saying this is going to be mental blow.. we've lost to chelsea so many time I doubt it will do damage, especially since we went down to 10 men. Last time we lost to them we went on a good run and I expect we will again. The Feb-April period has been solid for us in recent seasons as well.
**** Barca, it's a game where we've nothing to lose anyway.
All this hand-wringing is ridiculous.
I didn't like losing this, but I didn't like losing the West Ham game for the season opener either.
If you're embarrassed losing 0-1 to a **** Chelsea team, then console yourself
that they're in 13th. This place would be apesh!t if we were in 13th! Only fabo would be happy (if that's possible).
Travel to Barca on Wednesday followed by a 12:45 Saturday kick off against Everton. You just couldn't make this up.Both games are followed by away games in the league, United and Everton. Unbelievably tough to follow up those matches with performances as Barca demands extreme effort and intensity. We'll be chasing shadows.
I know where you are coming from. It was A Big Game. Really big even. Huge maybe. And we lost it. But it was big only because of the context you are talking about.I refuse to believe you don't get it when I say this was the biggest league game of the season so far. So far. To date. You're taking context and feeling out of it--things known and felt by the manager, players and fans. You can't pretend these things don't exist.

FFS, talk about completely and conveniently ignoring the context.
It has nothing at all to do with Chelsea's proximity. Why should it have anything to do with where they are?
1. This is our best chance of winning a major title.
2. This game was against a team we have a sh!t record against, are our huge rivals and have beat us already this season. It was Chelsea ffs!
3. This game came after we've seen us drop points in two games we should have won, losing the lead at the top in the process.
4. Leicester (a team you obviously see as some behemoth!) and Sp**s (huge rivals and on our tails) both won.
To have won here would have been a massive shot in the arm. The biggest we've had all season.
The further you go in the season, the bigger the games get, so there will be bigger...
This was undoubtedly our biggest league game of the season so far, and arguably our biggest game so far, period. Why would anyone want to deny that? Whatever makes you sleep better, I suppose.
It's also got nothing to do with this 'bottler narrative' either. Not on my half anyway.
