None whatsoever. Same thing happens every year - the season results are written after 10 games and then everything looks different come Feb/ Mar

They won't go unbeaten but only complacency will stop them winning it.
Shit league.
Despite the money though, at least Mourinho has a plan. He knows exactly the type of player he wants (coincidentally all utter bastards), he knows where on the pitch he needs them and he goes out and gets them. No fuss, no fucking about. And he knows who he doesn't want, who is expendable and he gets rid of them. Granted there are some randomers like Salah bought just to stop them going elsewhere and their squad including loanees is bigger than a small city.
I don't get that sense with most other teams, including ourselves (duh) and you could probably say the same about yourselves. For us it just seems like pictures on a dartboard and half the time we don't even end up with them.
Negative net spend? Are you serious? Yes, if measured over one season he's a genius in the transfer market. But then look at his total transfer record and he's spent 1x10^39 billion quid. Easy to have a net spend season when you are getting rid of shit the club has already blown a fortune on. He deserves no credit at all for his transfer record. A monkey could match him given unlimited funds and a string of feeder clubs in which to dump purchases he'll never use.
Getting his pubbers to perform as a team, well I accept that. He's one of the best in the business at organising his thugs and cheats so they can snuff out any football the opposition might try to play. Then he has his battering ram up top to barge it into the net on the break. Sprinkle in reffing decisions that never ever even up and it's a formidable set up. A club with one purpose - to buy success and do it without the slightest trace of style.
Guzan saves for Villa. Not sure much else has happened so far.
Champagne Charlie has reached orgasm. :unsure:
He's not a genius but he identified the weaknesses in his team and rectified them.
Sure Chelsea have a headstart in as much as having a very expensively assembled squad but to be fair to Maureen he has organised them and moulded them into a very good team, they have definitely gone up a level this season.
I personally don't think a monkey could match them with unlimited funds, it's what you do with it tha counts and it's about spending it in the RIGHT areas of the team, buying what you need, not what you like.
I hate everything that they stand for too but to say they are thugs and cheats and are anti-football clearly isn't true, they play better football than us FFS!
