    I don't think it's the wildest of fantasies that we could come away with something.

    Neither does my Chelsea-supporting mate at work.

    Can we just put this to bed by going for it and winning with a Taiwo thunderbastard.

    If it goes to the last game of the season I don’t think I can take it.

    That Southampton game frayed my nerves just as this crazy contingency on/off/on again house deal is weighing on me.

    Can we get a weekend when the stars just fall into place?

    Chicago: Magical thinker.

    Honestly I think everyone is mental for thinking we might get something at Chelsea. Away. Have you seen their squad? And our away form? There's no bloody chance. I'm aiming for a draw at home to Arsenal and hoping results go our way.

    Anything we get is a bonus.. but we’ve gotten points from harder games, and recently been competitive (albeit pointlessly) in away games at clubs who are objectively better than Chelsea are right now.

    In a world where Everton can win 5-1 at Brighton, we should absolutely be going into this game believing we can get something. It’s the Arsenal game that I rate as ‘no fucking chance’.

    Have you seen their home form?

    Our away performances are improving (a bit) and we've found a team with combinations that work pretty well and are improving as they play together.

    Yes, we ought to lose but our chance is at least as good as it will be against a much better Arsenal, who'll need to win to stay in the title race.

    Chelsea are worse than Brentford, and worse than Brentford at home.

    A virtually full strength Forest team that seems to be finding a bit of form at a completely disinterested Chelsea who are in a crappy run of form and have nothing to play for except finishing the season without injury. We don't have enough games left to be writing any off and there are plenty of reasons to believe that we can get points there, just like every other team that has played at Stamford Bridge since the beginning of March has.

    Apparently Chelsea are missing first and second choice left backs and may have to play with three at the back. Brennan, they're singing your song.....

    Everybody fancies us to get something at Chelsea, including me.
    It’s the hope (and expectation) that kills you.

    My strategy is to completely avoid the stress of the match by going to watch Super Notts at Wembley. Hopefully there’ll be no signal.

    On the bright side, if we get absolutely humped, our goal difference is so bad that it won't really matter.

    There's certainly no trains, so I hope you're driving.

    Just watched an analysis show from ESPN with Glenn Murray and two others about how Forest are going to get relegated. However, one guy did say that our excellent home form should enable us to get something from Chelsea, so I'm happy to ignore the overall conclusion that we're going down with Leicester.

    Brennan on the bench.

    Going full Liverpool tactics by the look of it.

    Chicago: Fingers crossed.
