Charlton - Chelsea (Setanta) <scores>

0-0 at the break, Chelsea gone to 9/10 in running on Betfair.

It's an interesting game. In one way Charlton are busting a gut just to contain Chelsea, but then when they do have the ball, their movement is great, only to be let down by their poor shooting, and in the case of Danny Murphy, two or three appalling free kicks from promising poitions. Chelsea look to be getting sharper with every attack, although they got a bit casual near the end of the first half. Mourinho will surely snap that attitude out of the players at half time, and Chelsea are likely to win 1-0 or 2-0 IMO. That's not to say that Charlton haven't ruffled the Chelsea defence - they have, and Carvalho has been booked - but their finishing hasn't forced Cech to make a save yet.

2-0, two very good goals. Chelsea now haven't conceded in 7 games (provided it stays like this). Best ever start to a Premiership season by a goalkeeper for Cech. Charlton looked good occasionally in the first half.

Charlton are looking good but Chelsea are on a different pedestel. I'd fancy Charlton and Man City to take a few points off the top clubs this year though.

Crespo got an excellent header and Robben scored a curler into the top-corner(ish). Cheslea looking unstoppable, 6 premiership games without conceding a goal. Cech had nothing to do today.

Damn! Was hoping charlton could hold em to a draw. Ya it's early yet but it ain't looking good for everyone else already

Anyone like to suggest what club will score against em first?
Looking at the fixtures i'm getting worried that it might not be till november(in the prem) Can't see liverpool getting passed em either.

Lemlin · 17-09-2005 6:44pm

I'd say someone will get a jammy goal or something against them sooner or later. If I was a betting man though I'd say Man Utd on 6th November!

I can't see Villa, Liverpool, Bolton or Everton breaking them down.

Liverpool will score against them but in the Champions League!

Well lets hope you're right mike, cause Liverpool are playing them the week after :P
So lets hope liverpool can take three points off em :d

Noy sure about that. When Arsenal won the Premiership two years ago, they did little to improve the team. Whereas Chelsea have signed Del Horno and Essien, two top class players. Not to mention the return of Crespo.

They look a much better unit now and Liverpool will have a tough time of it. Although they have improved also but just not enough I think.
