No, it isn't.
But looking at how we have played against QPR and Wigan, and then today's display ... That's what's bad.
A point against a close rival like Chelsea is never a bad result though. Just stings knowing you played like shit and got the result, so where could we have gotten with a better display...
You must see the context in which the game took place.
Chelsea totally stretched with fixture congestion.
Drogba missing.
We are only competing for the league and relatively more fresh.
We were playing at home.
Chavs are a team of old farts whom we tore open in their own backyard.
We were coming off a poor result against Wigan and this was a must win game for us in view of above factors.

I'm not disagreeing AF.
The result alone isn't bad, how we got there is though.

That is still a reasonably strong Chelsea team, they have depth in their squad. Think we will win but it'll be tight

six points from newcastle and spurs and they've got two games in hand... basically level
