Brad Smith 
Today we face Wigan Athletic, The Latics, under the stewardship of Roberto Martinez, who was being sniffed at by the likes of Liverpool during the off season.
Wigan have always been known as a side to start slowly, but always seem to pull an escape out of the bag, no less than last season, as relegation loomed, they won 7 of their last 9 games to ensure survival, including 4 home games on the trot.
Its here, the 2012/13 Premier League campaign.
Local boys Spurs were beaten by Newcastle, QPR were destroyed by Swansea, and Arsenal finishing goalless with Sunderland, in what was a very exciting opening day.
The Prediction League is finally here!! This afternoon I will post a status on https://www.facebook.com/TheChelseaFansPage where you will be able to predict the results of 5 picked games from this week, and the scoring will be as followed!
Fernando Torres has been much criticised since his £50m move from Liverpool, but the double European and World Cup winning striker has shown flashes of pure brilliance, even if they have been tainted by some poor performances.
The 2012/13 campaign gets underway on Sunday, as the Community Shield is contested between Chelsea and Man City, in what should be a great way to kick off the new season.
Didier Drogba left, after firing Chelsea to a FA Cup and Champions League double, Fernando Torres couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo, and around 73 strikers were linked with a move to the Bridge.
Skip forward a few months, and Fernando Torres produced a cameo role to fire Spain to European glory, and everyone has suddenly remembered the £18m Belgian we acquired last season.
After looking yesterday at the future of our defence, today we look at the midfield and attack, and why there are severeal reasons to be hopeful that the goals will be flying in at Stamford Bridge for a few years to come.
John Terry, Frank Lampard, Petr Cech. All names you associate closely with Chelsea FC, and the modern Roman Abramovich era.
But who are the next superstars to grace the hallowed turf? Im going to run through a starting eleven at the club, all of whom are in the process of transforming into settled Premier League players.
Midfield seems to be the key spot for the rebuild of the Chelsea team this summer, with Kalou gone, Malouda, Essien, Meireles are wanted by other clubs, and Hazard and Marin on the books, there is a lot of change going on.
