it was Patrick Vieira, the commander of Arsenal's renowned "Invincibles" side, who recommended a week ago that Chelsea could reproduce that group's accomplishments in 2003-04 and completion this season unbeaten.
It appears whimsical to propose the accomplishment being matched so soon, however regardless of the possibility that the Blues could figure out how to explore the battle without losing a solitary match, they still wouldn't compare to the Invincibles.
Not while Jose Mourinho is still in control at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese is the best mentor in the business and Chelsea are now cruising towards the Premier League title this season.
In any case for all Chelsea's appealing assaulting football this season - in the poorest Premier League for quite a long time - he will never send his groups out with the same swashbuckling purpose to amuse as Arsenal did 11 seasons back.
Unquestionably not in the enormous matches and Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester United was a for example.
"We don't look to others, we look to ourselves," reflected Mourinho after Robin van Persie's late equalizer for the hosts. "Old Trafford is a standout amongst the most unsafe apparatuses we have. The result is not the result we need, however the way we performed means we don't have to look to others."
Anyway if Chelsea neglected to get the result they needed, it is in no little part down to the way Mourinho trained his group to play in the end stages. While the Portuguese's mindfulness has bailed his groups see out numerous amusements, they were rebuffed on Sunday for declining to put United to the sword.
Basically, Mourinho attempted to quiets down shop and shield a 1-0 lead when Chelsea were well on top and United were ready and waiting after Didier Drogba's 53rd moment opener.
At that stage in the match, Eden Hazard was cutting through the hosts freely and Chelsea just searched excessively solid for their hosts, who played with honorable longing yet didn't have the guarding request to adapt to the Londoners' quick assaulting moves.
However with 23 minutes of ordinary time still to play, Mourinho chose to attempt and clutch what he had by bringing on John Obi Mikel for Oscar.

From that minute on, the activity moved towards the hosts. Chelsea sat ever deeper, the hole between the midfield and Didier Drogba expanded, Hazard vanished from unmistakable quality.
Mourinho drills his players so fastidiously that he would have anticipated that them will hang on.
In any case the splits were demonstrating as they yielded opportunities to Robin van Persie and surrendered senseless free-breaks in their a large portion of, one of which prompted the Branislav Ivanovic's red card and Van Persie's equalizer.
Mourinho will be cheerful enough, however his regular sense, that sober mindedness that has won such a large number of trophies as the years progressed, may have fetched Chelsea two focuses.
It was a comparable story against Manchester City, their closest title rivals, in September. With a 1-0 lead and playing against 10 men, Mourinho chose to kick back and secure the score instead of cover the hosts. Chelsea were rebuffed as Frank Lampard scored a late equalizer against his old club.
One feedback of the "Invincibles" - the first group to go unbeaten over a 38-diversion season - is that they drew an excess of matches as they imparted the focuses in 12 apparatuses.
Yet they generally did so with the goal to win and to destroy it style. The same can't be said of Chelsea under Mourinho.
