Default Champions!!!!!!!!!

Great day at Bolton yesterday now Everton tommorow and it could be all over.Never in doubt no matter how much the press tried to hype it up fair play to some of the Bolton supporters who applauded Chelsea at the end.
Really nice to see Fergusons so called mind games fail they always will when it is against the "Special One"

CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to agree, it was worth a shot. Granted we left it too late, but it did make for an entertaining end to the season.

Another glory support are we?

I heard Kenyon spouting how the fan base had increased by 300% since last season.

Plus, we'll see how 'special' you find Mourinho when he leaves the club over the summer.

Success always attracts supporters

Thats why the majority of Man USA supporters dont live in Manchester

and if you hadnt noticed its a business, which is why all the teams are looking for links into Asia

at the end of the day, would it be any different if Man USA had one the title?

We would moan about how sh*t you are, etc etc,

its the price we have to pay in being champions (again). The great british disease of knocking any one who is successful

Hardly. There's no emphasis on efficiency, and there's certainly no emphasis on profit and loss. I think you're forgetting the £140m loss the club amassed last year, the largest in football history.

You're not a business, you're a rich Russian's party piece.

We have to operate as a business, whereas Chelsea do not.

Good point. What will happen to Chelsea if/when Roman gets bored and takes his piggy bank elsewhere? Unless someone else arrives with very deep pockets, Chelsea will be the first team to go bust since...

And what happens when the Glaziers get bored of finishing 2nd and lower in the league, and go back to America and buy a proper soccer club?

But Football is big business, and I can name numerous PLCs who have made a loss

The returns are long term, which is why the Asian market is very important, and as already has been pointed out we have increased our fan base by 300%, hopefully all buying merchandise etc

Agreed Abromivitch wanted a club to spend on, thing is he chose Chelsea, so

He didn't have unlimited resources at Porto.

So, you need one point from two games - think you'll do it?

I said that there is no emphasis on profit or loss at Chelsea, not that such companies are immune to making a loss.

You've increased your fan base by 300% due to glory supporters, not due to any sort of attractive football.

Who is this Abromivitch you speak of? I'm only aware of a Russian criminal by the name of Abramovich. Your first year as a Chelsea fan, by any chance?

A slight blip in what is, otherwise, immense form.

We've got (another) point to prove at the Bridge, and I'm sure we'll do so.

To be fair, they are built around Lampard and Terry.

Whilst there is no doubting the lack of English players in Arsenal's current squad everyone forgets who was the first club to field a side without any Englishmen in it. And i do believe that it was Chelski under the guidance of one Luca Vialli.

The only difference was that then you weren't very good so the press didn't bother making a meal out of it.

Yeah he did and he needed a mixture of unbelieveable luck and blatant cheating to do it. If the lino had done his job when they played Utd at OT they would have been out.

How could he not have won the prem with that squad? gordon strachan would have won the prem the last two season with that chelsea squad.

If, buts and maybes, usual Man U fans arguments now a days .
Must have been the same "lino" at OT when you played Spurs last season
