Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
yes most people don't Chelsea because of how they got their money.. without Roman they wouldn't be half the club they are.. he's spent nearly 1 billion and can still spend another 200m in the summer just to win the Euro Cup next year.. whenever they loose they never get beaten by a better side it's always because of this or that.. when they lost to Fulham why not just say yes it was handball and we lost because we didn't play well.. Fulham should have had a pen anyway
was reading an article about Chelsea a few weeks ago.. they aren't really a big club.. their core support of fans is only about 8,000 to 10,000 with the rest being casual fans and people jumping on the winning band wagon.. they've only won one league title before Roman came and 2 Cup Winners Cups.. plus the odd Fa Cup.. when they released the DVD of their title winning season it only sold about 3000 copies... shows how many true fans they actually have
as you said United do do alot of the same things and if Roman had bought them instead of the Glazers pump 500m into the club i'm sure we won't be complaining that much either
