United won more when they didnt spend a lot than they do now.
Chelsea have gone right to the top and stayed there as a direct result of the sudden influx of money. First season, bam. Title. There was no bringing players up though the youth team or slow success. They were doing bad and now they are winning a lot.
They have bought their success. It quite horrible to watch them win the league in such a way which takes the excitement away. Chelsea spend and win everyone else is in a race for secound place.
I would rather United win the league than Chelsea.

A lot of their success is due to Claudio Ranieri, he never gets any credit, as for them buying the title, you get what you deserve, they are not supermen nor can they buy every player, so many times last season you would see teams try to play for a draw or with their heads down at kick off already beat, that to me is what makes it boring.
I agree though I would rather see any team win the League other than Chelsea possibly even Spurs.
