Who will stop us?

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Anyone if we put in a piss poor performance and they don't.lost to random teams last season so could happen again.un predictable at tines

[iseah100 5,612]

Probably Sunderland or somebody.

[Spike 12,049]

Superstitious people on TC that think when they post certain things it affects the team's performance.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

A referee will stop us, I'm pretty sure about that. Just hope we don't lose the plot like we did after Clattenburg disaster in 2012/13.

The QPR game is on the first of November. I hope they won't surprise us at the Bridge again.

at least that twat Rio wont be there to cause trouble

Is he capable of troubling Costa?

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Is he capable of troubling Costa?

Probably get elbowed in the face if he tried doing to Costa what he did to Torres a couple of years ago

Costa would probably literally kill him, or his cartel boys would.

[zolayes 14,489]

the twat can make trouble in an empty room ... would claim he had been racially abused probably

West Brom seems the most dangerous one from November imo. Very decent side and the match is sandwiched between International break and Schalke.

A ref tried the git.

Funny thing is this team is nowhere near complete yet favorites for the league.

Futures good indeed.

I wouldn't say we're nowhere near complete. We've addressed most of our weaknesses but our overwhelming favourite status probably says more about the league than anything else. Only City are serious title rivals. Funny how Jose said we'd win the league in any other country - we have a much greater chance here than in La Liga!

November.

[Whiskey 173]

At this time, on our best day I can only see two teams possibly beating us.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

But then again, we all know what football is like. "Who will stop us" as in, who will break our non-losing streak...could be any friggin team.

It's largely because of the Mourinho factor plus many are knee jerking the awesome form that Costa,Fabregas and the team in general have shown so far. there's no way we have a better squad than man city. As a matter of fact their squad is superior which is why our tag as the huge favourite for the title seem rather illogical and let's not forget that we have always started the season very well only to falter away in the end bar 4 seasons over the last decade or so.

Let's see where we are come March/April.

Maybe our squad isn't superior on paper, but then again is Fernando for example any better than our midfield backups? I think what gave us the favorites tag is like you said Mourinho, his second season record at previous clubs before now is almost flawless and it's early days but manager's seem more aware of Pellegrinis tactics this time round, Big Sam and now Pardrew have done him a new one.

We will be kept on our toes but I think all things considered our favourites tag (at this moment in time) is justified.

We are still a proactive CB, top class competition for Costa, an more intelligent AM, maybe another CM away from being a "complete" team but then again no team is ever truly complete, Pep took over the treble winners and made them even better.
