I think all those egos could still derail them. Remember Chelsea looked unbeatable at the beginning of last season. I'm still not convinced by Mancini as a manager, nor that City will have any real dressing-room spirit. Just having the best and most expensive squad in the league does not ensure that you're going to win the league.
Still, 4-0 away at Spurs is pretty fucking impressive.

Chelsea's egos have fared alright over the years in fairness. 3 League titles, 2 FA Cup, and 1 Carling Cup.

Almost all won under a brilliant manager.

You can dress it up whatever way you want mate, them Chelsea players with their big egos who were supposed to be disruptive and cause chaos have played a massive part in the Club's success since 2004.

I'm not dressing anything up. Part of my point was that I'm not convinced by Mancini as manager. If you've got a squad full of massive egos, you need to have a very strong manager to make them work as a team.
I'm not saying City can't or won't win the league, but the fact that they've got the best squad in the league and that they've been in storming form in August does not mean they're champions in waiting.
