There seems to be a bit of a media 'campaign', at the moment, to present Chelsea's efforts of last season, in a more favourable light.
The current line of thought is that, up to Christmas they were swashbucking/exciting/scintillating (chose whichever adjective you want) but, after the holiday period, they had to adapt their style because of injuries etc. to ensure the League was safely won.
To my mind, even in their supposedly exciting spell where they scored a few goals, they were still pedestrian in how they approached each game.
It must be wonderful to be able to re-write and re-present history.

I think George Orwell called it 'newspeak'.

Well, by looking at their predictions, they are now 2nd or 3rd even though the bookies have it differently. Surprise, surprise, we're looking at forth, very similar to last season.
Just waiting for RatBoy 2's prediction, he was well on spot last season!

They will likely challenge, maybe even until after Easter, but ultimately the title will either remain where it is now or be coming back up the M6 to the Etihad

i think top 4 order is a massive, massive toss up. I couldn't pretend to know who could knick it this season. Any of the 4 tbh. Any.
cheers
