Ok let be honest about this, it was inevitable that Chelsea would trip and fall after a positive unbeaten record finally came to an end, it was an easy start to a season of if?s and maybe?s, WBA, Wigan, West Ham, Blackpool, Stoke, all gift?s of fixtures, twenty one goals ,dropping only one in the process.....

Finally on Saturday came the sound of a squeaky wheel, Carlos Tevez gave Chelsea the bloody nose, the bums rush, the counterattack with the bells and the whistles....... Mancini, ?He?s a fantastic player, not just because he scored the goal but because he fights for the ball every time, even against bigger players.?...reference to John Terry......

When Ancelotti dragged off a subdued Drogba for Sturridge, one knew he had run out of time and Ideas.......
Ancelotti ,?We wanted more speed up front and I wanted to play Sturridge with Anelka, Sturridge was fresh.? .... a sure admission that Drogba had blown his lot. ...
Man City smothered and chocked exposing Chelsea impotent lack of the necessary instinct to mount any coherent challenge....

Tevez ran unfettered from the half way line, Cole looking like he had mistakenly donned Lady Gaga?s hideous footwear instead of a pair of traditional footy boots, standing with his thumb up his arse and his brain firmly in natural, whilst Cech looked like he was attempting some sort of weird pole dancing routine, letting Captain Tevez to slot the ball at the opposite post....

You know Arsenal lost because of Almunia?s recklessness, and Man U drew because the overwhelming desire to push forward and score left gaping holes in their defence that Bolton easily capitalised on..... but the fundaments where all present and correct , Chelsea face Marseille on Wednesday (Champions League) and Arsenal on Sunday 3 October, with Kayoko already placing one leg in SwallowTail pneumatic Ostrich ready to rub my nose in it.....Scary stuff.......
