Well the good thing for Chelsea is that even when we are not playing well, we are coming out with three points!

With just one brilliant shot, they got three points, and all the efforts of Wigan went in vain. Wish Wigan got some consolation point.

Just before the match started, the commentators, said that this match is between gaints of EPL and minnows of EPL. lol........... the match proved them wrong.

Well the giants didnt turn up I guess. Chelsea played poorly, but still got the win. In the end, its the results that matter and not the performances.

And if you remember, even last season Chelsea started of their campaign with 1-0 wins.

Wait a few matches for them to get into their stride.

As a United fan i hope Chelsea dont do well! and this season infact I fell they will not be nearly as succesful as last season! United have as strong if not stronger squad in my opinion even with chelsea including essien.. And no doubt sooner or later morales of certain chelsea players will surely drop due to the lack of first team opportunities!

Mourinho does a lot to make sure all of his squad members are contributing. He is tactical master!
