No point in being bitter, at the end of the day the best "team" won. But, you've got to think, this team will most likely fall apart as ego's get inn the way, weheras the Man U team will probably be much better. |
It's over 38 not 1 anyway. Chelsea will stay together because JM is bigger than the lot of them and will insist on it. (He reminds me so much of Brian Clough).
United in any other season will have won the league. Chelsea have been nigh-on invincible and Utd haven't been miles behind.
Yes Chelsea have spent but that's to get the immediate results. A lot of money has been invested in the Academy which means they will need to buy less as this becomes more important. And United have spent a lot on players in the past, 3.6m on Keane (a record at the time) for example as well as losing out on Shearer who decided to go Newcastle because he supported them. Recent acquisitions of Ferdinand, Rooney et al didn't come cheap either.
The only difference is that Chelsea have spent a lot, at once, rather than over time. Which really makes it harder for all the new players to gel at once, needing even better management to get results. Look at Newcastle.

Blades are the pigs, originally. the red and white stripes = bacon  |
What's the history then? Or are the Bl*nts really unoriginal?
Forest hate Sheff U even more after the last few seasons! Almost as much as Derby :o
