Re: Chelsea - Season Unbeaten?

Early days. Few times clubs (including ourselves, and including Chelsea) have started the season on fire and people have wondered if they could be beaten. They've not had the toughest set of fixtures, and they've not had their annual pre Christmas meltdown.

There's also champions league hangovers. They will have at least one game after a CL game where they are flat.

Remember when we won the lge a couple of years ago, we was unbeaten till Christmas in the lge amd lost away at Chelsea. Loads of time left yet and they play united soon :-/

They have a really strong starting 11 but if Costa gets injured they wont be the same team. Every team has a bad day.

What's more important is that we stay within touching distance. Going on an unbeaten run has its own [psychological] pitfalls. The mind set becomes focused on 'not losing' as opposed to 'winning'. With a bit of luck they go as far as Christmas without a defeat because the longer they go unbeaten the longer it will take to recover.... "This is Max the amateur psychologist signing off" ;-)

Re: Chelsea - Season Unbeaten?

Nah. We've been pretty impressive so far in that we've performed in a number of ways. We've turned on the style and racked up impressive scorelines, as well as reverted to our resolute Spartanesque defending - but we're hardly perfect. We're just clicking as a team at the moment while others have struggled to do so. It takes incredible consistency to achieve an unbeaten season. We deserved it in 2005 and only lost to City, so it takes quite a bit of luck to do it as well. We'll lose away to a "weaker" side or two. Palace is actually a good contender.

No chance. They don't look as good as we did last year for a start. Costa will get injured, Fabregas and Hazard will lose form, and their defence isn't actually all that. In fact I would be very surprised if they manage to get to the end of November without losing.

I think they could get to xmas, but they will lose a couple at least - probably away to shit teams as usual.

Can't argue with that.
