John Terry driven by 'heartbreak' of Manchester City's title win as Chelsea bid for top honours again:
John Terry admits Manchester City's title success is driving him on to lead Chelsea to top spot this season
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/john-terry-driven-heartbreak-manchester-4208737

"No player should stand there when seeing another team succeed and not feel hurt."

"When you play all those games and just lose out at the end, it's disappointing, it's heart-breaking. I want to win trophies and last year we didn't."

"For me the hunger is there from not winning the league. We need to get back to winning the title. It has been four years since we last did it but I believe we have the squad to do it. We are so driven."

Chelsea are currently 5 points ahead of Man City.

Chelsea finished 4 points behind Man City last season.

hmm

We're actually slightly worse off than we were at this stage in our disastrous 10/11 season. Though we have a much better squad and a much more competent manager now and it's basically an irrelevance.

by Kick Mon Sep 15, 2014 2:38 am

That season was hampered by Injuries to key players, the purchase of Torres and drop in form of Malouda, Anelka, etc.

I don't think we can really compare it.

Had we signed Aguero instead of Torres, we could well have won the title that year.

Still, it's a good sign, if we match City's results for the rest of the season, we'll walk away with the title.

I try not to take too much from the first few weeks of the season. We'll be much better positioned to judge in a month and a half or so.

by Kick Mon Sep 15, 2014 2:51 am

Neither do I but the point difference already in fantastic.

Take TSO's advice :coffee:

:

"[It] has no consequence, no context. In this moment you just play, you can’t go to mathematics now. Mathematics is for 10 matches to go. At the moment it’s about playing and trying to get the maximum possible points."

It's true though. Yes, our superb start and the early leeway between us and our rivals it's produced is exciting, but I refuse to get too overly-enthused by things until we have a larger sample to go off of.

by Kick Mon Sep 15, 2014 3:08 am

Or a larger points margin?

Say, 8 points Wink

All this optimism is going to come back to bite you at some point in the season, Kickster :coffee:

Why isn't Remy and Baker's pics the same as the rest?

by Shed Tue Sep 16, 2014 1:11 am

Possibly the person who made that montage didn't have their official pics Laughing

I suppose so.

Chelsea's Cesc Fàbregas talks importance of rivals Arsenal and Manchester City dropping points:
Cesc Fàbregas believes Saturday's win over Swansea was more important than ever after knowing Arsenal and Manchester City dropped points in the early kick-off
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/511189/Chelsea-s-Cesc-Fabregas-talks-importance-of-rivals-Arsenal-and-Man-City-dropping-points

"Obviously we wanted three points as usual, but the more we take advantage of our rivals the better."

"We know it doesn’t mean much because there is still a long way to go but we knew [before the game] Manchester City and Arsenal had dropped points so it was very important."

"What I want is to win titles, that’s what’s most important for me, it doesn’t matter who scores, who assists, who defends. The most important thing is that we are a team."

Finally someone who agrees with you, Kickster Wink
