Yes they won the league

but they won the worthless cup or whatever sponsor it is now
they won the league


but they got knocked out of fa cup by newcastle
and beaten by liverpool in champions league semi final


bearing in mind the £200 million (yes read that again), do you think their season has been a success or a failure.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

i refuse to believe that any season you win the league is a failure. Arsenal fans whinging because they "only" finish second. f*ck off.

[Steve.]

Mind you Chelsea sacked their manager last season because 2nd wasn't good enough, which I thought was a bit ridiculous at the time, but if they know someone who can do better...

[Uglybob]

lets look at who they bought

drogba -24 million
scott parker - what was the point, he doesnt even warm the bench
kezman - makes heskey look good

even after spending all those millions they are still not the finished article.

what they need to do is this

get rid of
kezman
drogba
parker
tiago
ferreira

and get in
a decent striker like shevchenko and an english understudy like dean ashton.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Parker has been injured for a long time. Tiago isn't great but hes not bad, the otheres I'm not too fussed.

Shevchenko won't go there and Dean Ashton would be way out of his league.

3 players, 3 Englishmen - Defoe, Cole, Gerrard.

[Andy Bkr]

in british football the premier league is the main aim they have won it so of course they are a success

[Quincy]

ok i agree with the parker out bit but thats about it.

drogba is a waste of money, hes clumsy and basically shat. i think tiago is ok but they do have quite a lot of central midfield players. they need to keep lampard, claude, tiago (optional centre midfielder eidur) and get one other player in the middle. get rid of parker, smertin (back to us) and jarosick. they need an english centre forward. i think alan shearer.

[Sidders]

Ha, like Shearer will ever leave Newcastle now.

[Quincy]

well i dunno. chelsea could do with him and its his last chance at european and fa cup glory. he said he was gonna play on for another season did he say with newcastle?

[Sidders]

Not specifically, but I'm sure that's what he meant. I think he'd want to finish his carrer at Newcastle anyway, so I don't think he'd want to go to Chelsea.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

they need someone in the shearer mould.. they can have Beattie for £10m.

Or 50p and a packet of crisps.

[Dickie]

Beattie's a twat.

Well known down south for trying to be a bit of a new-age spice boy round Southampton. What an arse!

[Quincy]

i saw him fall up some stairs last year in icon and diva. stupid knob

[Mafro]

drogba is a waste of money, hes clumsy and basically shat.

He's vastly overrated, the only thing I like about him is his hair.

[MC]

He's spent the last two games moaning at every single decision.

[Quincy]

against bolton going on about his bloody shorts. shut up drog!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

One moan about John Terry - hes a great player but the amount of times he wastes time when Chelsea are ahead by faking injury is a disgrace. After a corner is cleared he will fake a head injury in order to stop play.

[Quincy]

that will be permitted in the world cup final england 1 nil up with 10 minutes to go against germany

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

ha like the germans will get there.

[Quincy]

thats what i thought in 2002

[huckerby6]

Not specifically, but I'm sure that's what he meant. I think he'd want to finish his carrer at Newcastle anyway, so I don't think he'd want to go to Chelsea.

Souness is going to get sacked as he dropped him. happened to gullit and robson and robson was a better manager

[Quincy]

hes 'rested'

[Blazin'Babe]

Okay let's see if i'v got this right. Every country has it's own league and the best teams from each league all compete against each other in a knockout competition to see who the top team is. Chelsea won the English league but got knocked out in the other one, or something like that. If you are to say that Chelsea are a failure, then surely every team in the world is a failure apart from the one that actually wins the big knockout competition.

[Andy Bkr]

she has a very good point

[Sidders]

I think they have failed in what they set out to do.
