Have to keep reminding myself. Chelsea lost their best player last summer, transfer ban, injuries, sold David Luiz, had to play our academy players. Lost 1st game 4-0 to Man Utd. Yet here we are in 4th place. 8 points clear of Man Utd, 9 clear of Spurs, 10 clear of Arsenal. #CFC pic.twitter.com/aVNqRWkhTc
