Well done for winning the league, you deserved it as you have been the best team this season regardless of how much money has been spent.

However its comments like this that show its been a while since you won the league (50 years was it?) As you will find out next season, its much much harder to retain the title than win it in the first place. Good luck for next season, you will need it!
 
If you consistantly win trophies with the same team, then we wouldnt feel bitter (well atleast I wouldnt). Cuz then you would have proved that you won without the money. But if you signed guys like Adriano and Shevchenko and won the title because of them, that would piss me off.
Before being a Man Utd fan, I'm a big Football fan and there are a lot of teams I enjoy to watch just because of their team work and dedication. Even as a Man U fan, whenever I watch Liverpool play I hope they win cuz they have to work harder to achieve things. An example of this is when I was watching Liverpool vs Olympiakos when Gerrard scored the winner. I enjoyed that even as a Man Utd fan. Even when Arsenal play in the CL, I hope they win their games too. But I dont feel the same way about Chelsea. The players deserve the success cuz they worked for it but I dont feel the club and the board deserve it cuz they didnt even do anything. What exactly does Peter Kenyon do anyway? And I feel sorry for players like Scott Parker cuz Chelsea are always gonna make new signings meaning that everones career is in the balance. Has anyone imagined what the morale is like when the transfer windows open? If Chelsea buy a right winger like Joaquin, what happens to Cole, Duff and Robben? Two of them are gonna have to warm the bench. And do Chelsea even have a youth team? We've seen youngers come from every team this year. No one will ever break through at Chelsea cuz guys like Kezman cant even make it so how will a 17 year old kid from london? I'm not feeling bitter as I thought I would be cuz I feel Terry and Lampard worked their ass off for the team.

But this is my reason why I dont like to see Chelsea win anything. I'd be happier to see Arsenal win the CL than you lot winning the carling cup.
If you ever see me whining, this is why.
 
José Mourinho, José Mourinho, José Mourinho José Mourinho!
cheers.gif


Lampard's 2nd goal was amazinhg! Congratulations Chelsea and Mourinho.
 
It seems the only person with their head screwed on properly is Professor Nutmeg. He has stated excatly the truth and something alot of you jealous fans had overlooked. And also for some of our fans, don't brag like we are now the best team in the world, we have won the poor mans double, of course i am happy that we have won the title, ecstatic even, but i still feel a bit let down with no decent fa cup surge. I know im getting greedy here, but i mean that fa cup game was a shocker and the only time i have ever been angry with mourinho. Ans secondly, we are forgettin that we could quite possibly lose away from home to liverpool who are 5th in the legaue.
 
C'mon. Any double that includes the Premier League title isnt a "poor mans double". Atleast now that you lost the FA Cup you'll have something to aim for next season.

How much did Houllier spend in his time at your club? £110 Million - don't you remember signings like Diouf, Biscan, Diao, Diarra, Cheyrou, Vignal, Traore, some of which are still at your club. You'd hardly say you'll have brought 4th place, when youve spent significantly more money than Bolton (a team full of Bosman signings) or Everton (record transfer (Beattie) is £8m).

I dont support Chelsea, dont really care who wins on Tuesday. I support a team in League One - could well be your local team in fact, so your holier-than-thou-I-support-Liverpool-who-havent-spent-as-much-as-Chelsea attitude cuts no ice as far as Im concerned.

thats crap. and you know it is, you proved my point exactly.

Diouf, Biscan, Diao, Diarra, Cheyrou, Vignal, Traore

compare that to, infact, one player beats them all hands down Robben.

Drogba is garbage imo, ive seen him boasting about all this sucess at chelsea, where he screams emphatically, when he hasnt done anything and for £24 million pounds he has been the rip off of the century.

We spent that 100m in around 4 years, so it isnt as bad as £638 million in 2 years.

Whatever you all say, jealousy etc. Its not, its the fact they think theyre untouchable after 1 season which they bought, next season, when theyre on a blip, they'll just buy someone like shevchenko, adriano, or someone with that stature because unforteunately, money is the main factor of most footballers lives these days. Its a rare site to see players such as Carragher who you can tell they play for the club, not the money.

Chelsea bought the premier league.
 
as wenger says consistency is the key and chelsea were consistent all season just one dubious defeat if not we might be looking at another unbeaten run (looks like an easy feat now)

also players like john terry, robben, duff lampard gudjohnsen and c-mac derserve that title cos they are for me the back bone for chelsea and hard works deserves recognition and success.......

also i have a question for every one? people go on about having too much money dont 4get buying big players also brings a real test in player management skills --- which mourinho showed with his middle weight chelsea players (no superstars in the team) so fergie has got the management skills but cant really seem to buy right nd wenger can buy right but cant control his players...... so money might not be the only factor in winning a league u know,,, as a general footie fan (all leagues) congrats agaian to chelsea may the best teams appear in the finals (prays for psv lol)

Agreed :) Good job Chelsea, you deserve the title, well done. We deserve to win the CL though and unfortunately for you lot you're out on tuesday :P:)
 
Congratulations for chelsea. A well deserved title. 14 points clear (or 11?), show the domination of chelsea this season. GL for the next season! But one thing is right, keeping the title will be a little harder, but I still think that they'll keep it! Wouldn't be surprised.
Arsenal and Man Utd and Liverpool need alot more to reach chelsea.

With ranieri? who knows! What matters for fans is that chelsea with mourinho won, and changed the way chelsea plays completely.

Congrats for chelsea and GL for tuesday!
sir Jose Mourinho! :lol:

Lots of sore losers in this thread, but the above words sum it all up for me, very, very wise words.
Man Utd is the richest club in the world, that's the best prove that you can't buy silverwarte in football...look at their European runs and you have to say that they are massive underachievers.
And JohnyMendoza i've never been carded on this forum and for some stupid reason i want it to stay like that so i won't write down what i'm thinking about your postings but one thing: Porto would do fine in the Premiership...as a matter of fact give most Potuges, Dutch or French teams the average budget of a premiership team and they play in the CL every year (and would do better than the likes of Man Utd and Aresanl as Porto, PSV, Monaco and Lyon have proven the last two season...).

And completely off-topic: Gerards equaliser saturday must be the goal of the season, what a rocket!!!

Kev, which particular aspect is crap ?

The large amount of money Liverpool spent - fact
The pretty rubbish players Houllier brought - fact
Your apparent jealousy of Chelsea - fact

Money talks in every aspect of life, Man Utd used to be the big spenders of the Premier League, and they used to win it, no complaints from you then.

You've spent way more than Bolton or Everton, will you hold your hands up and say youve brought 4th/5th/6th place ???

I don't think so, they were the best team of the Premier League this year for game and results.

You're right that every team spends money. The only difference is that Chelsea got free money where as every other team has to earn theirs. You could argue that other fans and owners put money into their clubs too but with Abramovich its different. Roman is putting all this money into the club without asking for anything in return. But if you look at all the owners of the different clubs, they're trying to make a profit from which they get their money back. Man Utd for example have to pay shit loads of money for its shareholders but Chelsea dont cuz Roman doesnt want that money.

You want to know another fact? Roman spends on Chelsea on average £1million a day. If I had that kind of money, I could go to 2 different countries like Germany and Holland, be the champions of both countries, and then get my 2 teams to face each other in the CL final. But Roman and Ranieri were so stupid that they almost bought a extra squad thats never used consisting of guys like Crespo, Veron, Scott Parker, etc.

Seriously, dont go on about how other teams spend money cuz its NOTHING like Chelsea's spending.
 
haha man utd has the likes of beckham, giggs,scholes,neville's, butt and keane, even tho they bought him.

they were and most still are die hard man utd players, they didnt buy the premier league, most of them were spawned there, or where bought young

Chelsea BOUGHT THE PREMIER LEAGUE
 
Why ain't Bolton or Arsenal winning it then kevano22? They hardly have an englishman on the pitch when they play and they've bought/signed loads of players. Chelsea haven't bought a single superstar, they're all about teamwork and tactics and that is ultimately down to José Mourinho. I don't really see where you're coming from, what are you trying to prove/say?
 
Chelsea havent bought a single superstar?!?!?! Are you talking about the same Chelsea as us?
Lets play a game shall we. What do Crespo, Kezman, Drogba, Veron, Robben, Duff, Joe Cole, Makalele, Carvalho, Ferreira, Cech, etc all have in common?
They are ALL Superstars!
 
I agree with Runedge on this point. They signed high profile players. Drogba had a stunning season with Marseille, so they signed him for 24million.

sorry, but your just jealous man, admit it!
I can only see one player in that list that was considered superstar when he came to chelsea, and that's Crespo!

Carvalho a superstar? Cech? Duff? Joe Cole (OMFG), Makelele (close), Kezman? Drogba?, Robben?
They have become stars at chelsea, they weren't stars when they got there.

Superstars are Zidane, Ronaldo (R9), Totti, Adriano, Ronaldinho, Henry, Nesta, Sheva, Figo, Buffon, Roberto Carlos...
 
It's pretty obvious that Chelsea had lots of money, but they did not buy the title...
I don't think they bought a single superstar (even Crespo is not a superstar...), and RuneEdge Drogba, Ferreira, Carvalho, Cech, Duff and Joe Cole indeed have one thing in common: when Chelsea bought them they were young promising players...(who what heard about Carvalho, Cech and Drogba three season ago???).
Makelele was an underrated and underpaid player in Madrid, if Madrid had paid him a decent wage he would have stayed...the fact that Chelsea paid him a decent wage proves that they knew about his enormous abilities...
Once again the fact that Chelsea won the title has to do with football know how and team spirit...No matter how pissed Arsenal and Man Utd fans may be, Chelsea are champion and they deserved it.
And about money: every English premiership club is loaded with money...in the top 50 of the world's richest clubn you find all the English Premiership clubs...so don't talk about money.
And Mourinho proved that he can be succesfull with a modest budget as Porto coach. Porto's budget is approximately has high (or low) as that of Anderlecht. I know that Anderlecht isn't in the top 200 of richest clubs...that puts in perspective the great achievements of Mourinho and Porto.
 
You can have all the best players in the world but if they don't "gel" and have team spirit, you're going nowhere - thats where Real Madrid have fallen down recently. Well done to Chelsea. Drogba though, is probably the man who has to improve if he wants to stay. What is happening to Kezman? Anybody know?
 
So everyone here thinks that just cuz a player is young, he cant be considered a superstar? Every one of Chelsea's signings were bought because of their past performances and reputation. The only exception I could think of are Robben and Cech who ironically were bought by Ranieri and he isnt even getting any credit for them. Drogba was bought for £26million. Who's stupid enough to pay that money if he aint a superstar.

I'm not bothered with Chelsea winning the title. If I was, I would have been whining a long time ago cuz we knew the title was coming to Stamford Bridge.
I never said Chelsea's players dont deserve the title either. They obviously played very good football. But dont go around saying that teams like Man Utd or Liverpool have had it just as easy in the past cuz no one spends the kind of money. Romans spending cant be compared to anything so dont even try. Thats the only thing I'm bothered about. Chelsea fans think of this as such a big (Well of course you would. Its the first in 50 years.) but in reality, anyone could have achieved this with the same kind of money.

And what sort of arguement is "Well Chelsea were the best team in England"?
The only reason they have best team is because the all their great players were paid for by Roman Abramovich. Thats exactly what we mean when we say you bought the title.

I'm pretty sure they paid that ridiculous price because they thought Drogba could go on to be a superstar, just like Man U paying £30million for Rooney. And what Abramovich wants, Abramovich gets.

Drogba was not a superstar when he got there. I hadn't heard of him until they got so interested in him.

Just cause they paid such a high price for him, does that automatically make him a superstar? I think not
 
Look at all the Chelsea fans that have come out of the woodwork after "their" team won the championship
 
Im interested in what you call buying the title then? If sending 220million or more in jusr two seasons is not buying the title then what is?

To call everyone jealous is riduclous coz im sure most liverpool,arsenal,Utd supporters would not like to win a championship the way chelsea won it. I mean it wasnt exactly a roller coaster ride to winning the championship, it was just a corperate business win. Chelsea bought the best of everything on and off the pitch just to win first silverware in 50years.

What i dont understand is that ranieri was the one who made the foundation at chelsea, players like lampard,makelele,duff,terry and gudjohnson,solid defence,yet gets no credit.

The same reasoning aplied to Man Utd: the richest club in the world only won the CL once (a freak win, Munchen were the better team in the final) so they are massive underachievers in Europe, ergo Ferguson is not the big manager everybody thinks he is.

Someone who used to be a big Man Utd fan and never was a Chelsea fan...
