Last season, a number of things happened that showed the world Chelsea could be taken advantage of, despite being Champions. -Cech going to Arsenal -Everton slagging us off despite throwing stupid money at Stones and him putting in a transfer request This showed the entire world that despite being Champions, we could be stood up. Stand up to us and we'll relent. Factor in not improving the squad in the transfer window, Mourinho losing to Wenger for the first time in their history in the Community Shield, the Eva scandal, and it's all lead to teams standing up to us ever since. ps- I know Cech's a legend and if anyone had a right to choose where he went, it's him. I know it was Abramovich's call, not Mourinho's (according to reports anyway). Still wish it didn't happen.
