Terrace Talk: Chelsea - Being liked is over-rated

Seems many pundits and papers have already announced this coming season’s league winners without a ball even being kicked. Apparently Arsenal have run away with it.

The rest of us may as well not even bother it seems. In fact, many have been spouting off to anyone who cares to listen that Wenger now “has the measure” of Mourinho – all this from a very narrow win at Wembley.

The Charity Shield (it will always be the Charity Shield to me) did tell us a few interesting things. Firstly, that Mourinho was absolutely right to try and veto Cech’s move to Arsenal and that Abramovich should keep out of team matters.
