Poor Old Chelsea

[floridalol]

Well at least Chelsea had the guts to go for all four trophies and Man Utd had a good go at three (they threw the League Cup), Liverpool threw the League Cup and the FA Cup and once again were not good enough for the Premiership so they threw that too (playing a reserve side on saturday against Portsmouth is one instance), so they could concentrate on the Champions League and even then they had to scrape it on penalties as they also have done to win 2 European Cups, 1 FA Cup and a League Cup, just imagine 4 trophies won without actually winning them by goals scored in normal time. Fabulous achievement.

But I'm proud of Chelsea's record this season, already winners of the League Cup, semi-finalists in the Champions League, a down to the wire title race and an FA Cup final to look forward to all with crippling injuries to top players throughout the season.

But the one thing that sticks in the mind is that Liverpool have NEVER won the Premiership and next season will be the same as they will trail Chelsea and Man Utd by the usual 15-20 points.

Why go all out on a game that could not help them win the Premiership when a more important match was coming up in 3 days time

My point exactly, Claire, Chelsea did not have that opportunity as they were chasing 4 trophies so Liverpool should have had an advantage which they did not have the ability to take in normal time.

Oh bittterness, bitterness
The only thing the Blues possess
I thank the Lord that I've been blessed
With none of that Blue ***** bitterness


I'll not see YOU in Athens

What's that song I can hear? is it Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep?

" Where's your treble gone? (where's your treble gone?)
Where's your treble gone? (where's your treble gone?)
far. far away, far, far away.
Last night the fans were singing this song;
ohh wee fergie is a loser, fergie is losing again
Woke up this morning and the treble was gone.
Ohh wee, man u are the losers, man u are the losers again"

That really hurts.... It was terrible viewing last night...we deserved to lose. We'll just have to be satisfied with the double I guess!

Luckily Chelsea losing at least made the start of my week slightly pleasant

Could go on about what we have won , BUT, seeing as we are on the subject.
YOU HAVE NEVER WON THE EUROPEAN CUP.
AND NEVER WILL WHILE THE 5 TIMES CHAMPIONS ARE IN IT.
as you have yet to knock us out of the EUROPEAN CUP.
terrible having sour grapes and making excuses for defeat, a team that cost in excess of £50 million unable capitalise on an also ran [as you would say]

To be honest I think this thread should be closed, much as I love football unfortunatley football & DIS don't go together I am afraid.

A similar thread involving FloridaLOL ended up with very upsetting comments being made (of which I still have a record of) regarding a football tragedy involving Liverpool FC.

Whilst he is defending his team here, something which I probably would have done too I feel this thread is already getting out of hand and could get worse.

Guys

I am going to put a warning on here now, the next instance of any name calling, fighting, sarcasam, or worse, this thread will be closed immediately.

I think its a shame that we cant have a thread for all football fans to support and congratulate their teams, be it win, lose or draw and to have a heathly friendly disscusion about the game.

That doesnt include name calling, goading, argueing, and fighting over what I know is a very passionate subject.

If you feel a post is making your blood boil, dont retaliate , step away, press the report post button at the bottom of the thread (red triangle) and let the moderators deal with the post please.

I think they're all secretly jealous of the Mighty Swindon Town.

The entire team cost £4.75p. We got our centre forward free with a bag of crisps.
