Chelsea is the new power in town
-
whether we like it or not, chelsea is the new dud in town.
they are gonna be here for a while yet, so get used to their arrogance of winning trophies year in year out folks. -
get the russian govt to arrest abramovich...den without abramovich cash...chelsea will lose all its players...
-
Yes we all knew that 7 topics ago
-
seriously need you start soo many topics?
-
Marc Teng I understand your fustrations and the reasons for starting so many topics, but your Man Utd got your fair share of dominace during the mid-nities, now its Chelsea turn, whats wrong with that? What goes up must come down, maybe now its time for Man Utd to taste what Liverpool and Arsenal were tasting years ago, where they were living in the shadows.
Maybe you are thinking Chelsea are arrogant and felt its hard for you to tolerate their dominance? You know why there are alot of anti-man utd fans around during the Man Utd dominance years? Well, same reasons as why u hate Chelsea now. All the clubs and thier fans are no angel themselves, arrogance is everywhere, so i felt the turtle dont laugh at the tortoise for being slow. Cheers man

Whats the morale of the story?
Money can buy power. -
Man Utd will win the Premier League!!
-
Cut Marcteng some slack. Chelsea is spoiling the transfer market with their ability to pay through the nose for players they desire. I don't think Manchester United did such things during their dominant years, did they?
-
They will dominate a long time, but not 100yrs! RA dun stay alife so long + his cash will run out soon if he keep spendin at this rate. I will like Chelsea when dun say they can win the EPL by chirstmas. Problems may appear if makalele n Lampard gets injured.

i believe they oso did similar things too... they illegal poach players n unsettle them forcing clubs to sell them... can just ask jaap stam, rio, ...Originally posted by iveco:Cut Marcteng some slack.

Yeah, paying almost 30m for Rio and Roonie, are they really worth? if that's not over paid, then what's that?
Crapss, Man U fuk up. -
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can stay in this vein for another 10 years or so.
Right now, Chelsea is inflating the salary market; their players earn top dollar, every player dreams of 'working' there. How else can anyone explain Michael Essien's tandrums and self-imposed strike during the Lyon-Chelsea saga?
With Olympique Lyon, he would still be playing top quality soccer with world class teammates. $$$ is the only reason he chose to go to Chelsea.
With previous heavyweights like Arsenal, World-class players like Thierry Henry and Patrick Viera weren't earning commanding wages and yet inspired club and manager loyalty. In turn they earned the respect and plaundits of fans and peers alike.
If Roman Abramovich was to suddenly be indicted for tax evasion and has his assets frozen, i wonder whether club loyalty will exists, especially once the players have wage issues. -
flame me if you want.
it is all about money, especially for foreign borne players. their career is short.
it is silly to talk about loyalty. -
Loyalty used to be a virtue. But not anymore, at least in this industry.
I'm just lamenting the good old days. -
aww, there's no more loyalty left in the game.... i find it sad, but actually, this whole thing has been hyped up. there have always been players who left their clubs for more money, its just that their disloyalty was not reported as some sort of heinous crime by the press back then. now, its like,"ahh!!! he's disloyal! let's persecute him!!!!" and wades of morons then go around flaming the guy. stupid, really.
anway, back on topic, chelsea is the new power in town, courtesy of abramovich. well, once he goes, chelsea will fall. this will happen simply because while clubs like man utd attained their financial might as a result of shrewd business, chelsea's has been luck. if roman went to take over aston villa or something like that, chelsea would probably be in the championship now. so all man utd fans in singapore, prove u arent glory hunters and stick with ur club even after losing to boro 4-1!!!! and chelsea fans, i suggest u enjoy ur 5 mins of fame. man utd will be back!!! -
Ppl always ManU pay big $$ for Rio n Rooney n they dun worth it. Rio really dun looks paying for such a high price, but Rooney is really a big talent. Young, strong, can shoot n dribble, his passing also not bad. Chelsea nv had bad buys??? kezman?? mutu??? Shaun.W.P dun look 18millions to me too. tiago?? Jarosik?? G.Johnson?? Crespo will also fall into the bad buys part when Chelsea decided to buy another Forward next season. Every club has bad buys la, no use sayin all those craps.

Its not about the market. Come in contact with the man utd fans and you will know, oops maybe you are one hehe. Never come in contact with arrogant man utd fans before? Either you are lucky, or maybe you are one of those arrogant people lol. But i felt you are not :-). CAnnot stereotype man utd and their fans as arrogant? Well you guys cannot stereotype chelsea and their fans as well. The turtle dont laugh at the tortoise for being slow.Originally posted by iveco:Cut Marcteng some slack.

No club and thier fans are perfect.
I am not looking to quarrel. Just my humble opinion, if you are offended i offer my apologies beforehand.
Cheers man
