I'm not here to promote blind enthusiasm for Chelsea but what you listed is best described as "irrelevant". By your rationale, Uruguay should be considered one of the best teams in the world because they already won the World Cup twice?

You're only as good as your last few seasons. Chelsea was definitely UEFA Cup position contending team, season in season out (in my living memory). If you don't agree with that notion despite Chelsea's table positions for the successive years before Abramovich, then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I'm off to watch the Bolton game...

My point was that over time things can massively change for a club, and it's Abramovich that did that for Chelsea.

Hahaha...Chelsea diddn't winthe league...Thank you !!!!!!!!!!

it wasn't chelseas to win. just man u's to loose. didnt happen. o well, hopefully the CL final is different. thats what really matters anyways.

Was an exciting end to the season though. Right up to the last minute the relegated teams weren't definite. Erikkson signed off as Man city boss in style.

Yeah I'm watching it now...Middlesbough have crazy potential next season I feel.
Glad to see Fulham stay up too...Jimmy Bullard for England !!!!!!!!!!!!

Bullard is a quality player. I can't see Boro doing any better than mid table next year.

Jim Bullard Bullard,he's better than Steve Gerrard Gerrard,hes thinner than Frank Lampard Lampard.I wasn't for Man Utd in the race,I was against Chelsea.Just Because they passed Liverpool in the CL like a couple of bitches.The own goal in the 95th minute of a 4 min advantage...in 45th minute of the second game,a penalty...just too bitchy,AC Milan-y for my taste.

Youll Never Walk Alone

Come on Shizzah...better than Gerrard ?????????????????????

As for Middlesbough:
Yeah maybe push for Europe ???
With "Alves" there now I think they will surprise a few people.
If they strenghen their squad a touch...
They need some defenders.

No,its just a Fulham fan song I heard somewhere on TV...
Of course he's not better than Gerrard,nor thinner than Lampard...

I think Boro could push to a sixth place tops with a run of good results...
The first four are always the first four,and I just think Everton will have too much quality next season.They're a quality team.

But I want Liverpool to win the title next season.Benitez mentioned Quaresma...thats a killer player.

I think Boro's main problem will be that teams above them are growing and strengthening their squads. There's no way they'll take the UEFA Cup spot. No way.

Next season Spurs should come back into the fold and battle it out with Everton and Villa for fifth, with Portsmouth, Man City, West Ham and possibly Newcastle not too far behind.

I'd guess 12th maybe for Boro.

I'm getting so bored with the Premier League.

To me the problem is summed up by the transfer of Carrick (and others like this)...

A integral player for a top 6 club moving club. I'm not saying it's his or Man U's fault, but no one outside the top 4 can be retained by their club if they play well. Barry will probably leave Villa....

Wenger needs to make some fucking signings instead of relying on these child soldiers he adopts.

well man u win, well done to them. shame for Chelsea, dnt kno how bad Terry's injury is. It would be a huge loss if he didnt play in the Champs League Final.

Inter continue to choke to.

Hahahahahaha.

He sealed the signing of Toure by buying him a McDonalds...no joke.

Arsenal have a good enough team, but not a good enough squad.....SENDEROS, I dont know why the fucker always looks so sad, he's getting paid millions to play like Rhino, our sunday league centre back!!!
