i know its very early but if we don't win i will be concerned. we dragged 3 points back off them early last year when they were in turmoil and it was at OT. Wouldn't fancy going down there with the potential of going 7 points or more back after 5 games |

deco is class. this is hardly a surprise. but i think chelsea still have some problems: ballack is not finding consistency after over a year there, mikel lacks discipline, they still lack width, drogba seems to have lost some of the spark he had two years ago.
i also wonder about chelsea's physical presence this year. a couple of years ago, and still last season, though to a lesser extent, they were physically extremely hard to get on top of. they seem to have lost that - it seems possible now to physically challenge them in a way that it wasn't two years ago under maureen. that suggests that they'll have a harder time against the weaker teams this time, rather than just rolling them over effortlessly as seemed to be the case before. as i've said many times before, i think they're going to miss makelele big time. i don't think many people appreciate what an important part of their game he was. more importantly, i have serious doubts about scolari's ability to maintain a challenge over 9 months. it's very different from (crashing out in the quarter-finals yet again of) a short international tournament. having said all that, they'll be our nearest challengers again. and i will be worried if they get robinho. quality out wide would really change their chances - and anyone who watched real last season knows what a difference robinho (who i didn't rate at first) made to them. |

Perhaps not the most accurate post I've ever made, but still. |
