Cech: Best Chelsea can hope for is third place
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech agrees with his manager's assessment over their title chances.
Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas says they cannot be considered contenders.
Cech told his official website: "We don't have to mention the word 'title' because the Manchester clubs will not drop many points. That's the reality.
"I still think it is realistic to target the third spot but to do that we will need to succeed in Sunday's match (against Manchester United)."

AVB!!! I thought u are visionary but u'v proved me outrightly wrong. U as a coach knows that 4-2-3-1 tactics ll best suit Chelsea with Cech, Ashley(Bentrand), Terry(Cahill), Luiz, Ivanovic, Essien(Mikel), Ramires(Romeu), Mata(Sturridge), Lampard, Kalou(Merieles), Torres(Drogba, Lukaku) but u failed to make the most use of the just close window signing an attacking midfielder in Willian, Lucas and Hazard. I doubt your ability to seeing the Blues finish top 8. Well, maybe u are the Jesus or Lucifer Chelsea has being waiting for. I have lost faith in u but my hands are crossed 2 see what u make become of my dearie CHELSEA.
AVB must know the best way of beating Man U is by playing in obstract. Players should not be obvious to the opponent. I expect mature players with determination to start the game. We must play 4:5:1 system because definitely we have to control the game.
