The pressure is
on Gianluca Vialli to push Chelsea back up the table after they failed to
qualify for the Champions League. Instead they had to settle for the UEFA
Cup after winning the FA Cup. The Blues continue to attract support in this
season's Premiership betting, with the Tote being the latest firm to cut the
Charity Shield winners. The Blues are now 4-1 third favourites with the Tote.
They had been 6-1 before defeating reigning league champions Manchester United
2-0 at Wembley. A positive sign indeed.

Chelsea are
ambitious. They have money. They have a large squad, which Vialli has not
only managed to keep together - against expectation - but enhanced. They
have drool-icious pulling powers of persuasion with the world's best player
- They have a good goalkeeper and have just signed a proven goalscorer.
They are not in the Champions League, unlike their immediate rivals, and
are unlikely to let the UEFA Cup distract them from winning a domestic prize
- which would fulfill Vialli and make Ken Bates a happy man.
They have demonstrated
they can beat United, which is a huge psychological boost, and the only
reason people do not fancy them is their reputation as a bunch of highly
paid foreigners who lack the necessary grit to dig-in when the going gets
tough, in particular during January and February.

These criticisms
were perfectly valid last season, when Chelsea were guilty of pinning all
their hopes on the Champions League, but to assume they will carry on in
the same way, may be to underestimate Vialli's determination and his players'
pride. A lot of reputations are at stake this season, and for that reason
if no other, Chelsea have a chance.
