André Villas-Boas leaves Chelsea Football Club

Pretty much the same squad finished second last year, then we added Mata, I wouldn't say its ridiculous to think we were title contenders

They didn't post any non-European clubs. Some can easily make it in that list. Even Celtic and Rangers can make it in the top 13.

Essien, Lampard, Cole, Cech were all declining although big things were expected of Torres at the start of the season

On level points with City, who crumbled under pressure, along with Arsenal, who crumbled big time and were only 3 points behind you in the end. You were 9 points behind the Champions too.

I never expected Chelsea to be in the title race this season. Kept saying that during pre-season. I also thought City would walk it, but United have been in their shadow, which has surprised me.

Essien hadnt really figured for a while, Lampard had a good season last year, Cech I think is still right up there as one of the best, Cole's been pretty bad though. Based on last year, there was nothing really to suggest we'd be this poor.

Surely the fact he was prepared to put his job on the line means he must kind of like him
