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.

As a proud Northener I still have to say...Come on Watford 
Beating Leeds 2-0 , as I have already said, we don't need them or their supporters in the Premiership.

Not at all, Captain Birds Eye did bugger all for Oldham Athletic when he was chairman.

I wonder if there is any truth in this 
If it is, Chelsea will be awesome next season, even without Nistelrooy

I was actually in leeds during the game. Found a nice quiet pub to sit and have a drink without laughing at scummy losing... at the end about 200 leeds chavs came in, singing chants, just like a football ground really.
Quite entertaining seeing as they had lost, just wondering what the scenes had been like if they won... it was peeing it down with rain as well :S

Joke -
Jose Mourinho walks into a bar and asks for a whiskey. The bartender says 'Would you like a double?'
Jose replies ' what's a double?'

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
been reading reports that Campbell is off to Fenerbache for 8m .. if that's true then Ruud is worth at least 12m
Palace have a press conf for 16:00 today either they will say Dowie is staying or the worst news will be him and Jordan have had another falling out, which has already been reported and Dowie is off. Without him plus loosing AJ we will be even worse off than this season
