i never said we won anything (except the semi final of course)... all im laughing at is the fact Chelski spend this type of moeny to ultimately win the CL, and they cant even make a final after 3 years... and still make excuses, its hilarious!!! This does mean Im confident we will win... I wasnt even confident we would win this morning... but Chelski showed without their cash they would have nothing, literally nothing.

pools last major success was the cl win against milan which was freak.

without your freak cl victory and considerably lucky uefa cup against the

almighty alaves many moons ago how does your honour roll read in

comparison to chelsea

the real final of the champions league 2007 is tonight.

what if we count everything chelsea has won as freak and considerably lucky? i didn't realise there were descriptions etched into the trophy with snide comments as to how the winners had won them.

LFTWNG11 · Post by **LFTWNG11** » Wed May 02, 2007 12:47 pm

First off, I rekcon ManUSA have not spent as much on transfer fees in their history as what CHelski have over the past three years, 200-250m pounds is a lot of money.

Secondly, a freak victory hey? they jsut keep pulling the freak victories with Rafa, when does it stop being freaky though?!? you call LIverpool over-rated spandiards with a lanky forward, so they beat Chelski over two legs and have the better of them ever since we got trumped 4-1 at home... what does that say about the 200m invest my Maureen?? i mean how does a bunch of over-rated spainards and a lanky forward beat a team worth upwards of 200m pounds with superstars like Lamplard?!?!?

Finally, we are in the CL for the second time in three years, enjoy your three semi finals in four years.

it is my opinion that you are over achieving and in athens you will fail.

as for chelsea, not bothered.

im a napoli supporter.

finally, i might follow your lead in the future and pick a handfull of sides to

support then i might be able to brag about how good my team is.

Thats a bit harsh.

I know you were going for Chelsea this morning. And i also know you love "You'll never walk alone". Remember me playing it in the car 2 years ago when we beat Juve in the Qtrs????

Credit where it's due.

as for chelsea your not bothered hey... funny that, considering you post in favour of them a lot of the time espiecally arguing with mancs about this and that.

handful of teams hey? what constitutes a handful?? I support Lazio and Liverpool... if thats a handful, its quite a small handful.. some may even say its a "couple" not a handful.

look forward to Lazio v Napoli next season... if you make it... should be interesting wathicng Rocchi, Mauri and Pandev rip apart your defence that will surely be made up of has-beens and loan signings. good luck with that.

Okie dokie in that case, how about Napoli give back the '89 UEFA cup to its rightful owners. They certainly werent the better side in the Q/Fs, Semis or Final.

So

. Big deal if Chelsea played better. The result is all that matters. I'm sure Napoli have played crap in a lot of their games this year and have got points from them.

Do you think Italy played better than France in the World Cup final? Especially the 2nd half? No. France were all over us, but we converted all our penalties and won. End of story. Italy win the World Cup. Same with Liverpool, however i don't agree that Chelsea played better OVER the 2 legs. They deserved their win at the Bridge, while we deserved our win at Anfield. Do you forget Kuyt's offside goal that should have been allowed, Kuyt's header that hit the bar, Kuyt's last second shot that Cech saved & Cech's save with his feet to deny Crouch's header.

Big_Chief · Post by **Big_Chief** » Wed May 02, 2007 3:17 pm

I agree with Napoli, I also think the Adelaide Crows should be made to give back both the 1997 and 98 premierships too. Of all the great sides to play the game and win two flags, they would have to be by far the worst. Oh how it sickens me.

before mourinho
chelsea have won the uefa cup and cup winners cup
and since mourinho
have been in the semis of champions league
won the league twice and a couple of carling cups

manu have spent a fortune too and theyve won their fair share but only one champions league title ( the year of the treble )

rooboy1986 · Post by **rooboy1986** » Wed May 02, 2007 6:18 pm

Want to talk about "FREAK" victories?

I don't think there is a luckier team than Chelski this year...

most last minute winners than most!!!

23/12/06 - 90' winner vs.Wigan
25/2/07 - 85' winner vs.Arsenal
11/3/07 - 86' to draw vs. Tottenham
31/3/07 - 90' winner vs. Watford
10/4/07 - 90' winner vs. Valencia
15/4/07 - 107' winner vs. Blackburn

and more 1-0 victories than anyone else in the league, i'm sure!!!

Updachels · Post by **Updachels** » Wed May 02, 2007 6:30 pm

Rooboy, I wouldnt say they were freak just too much pressure on the opposition team that they couldnt hold out. Thats what happens when you continue to pepper the opposition goal.

I wouldnt call them freak victories (Liverpool's or Chelsea's) but i feel that they are certainly much better in Europe than the premiership. why? I dont know, probably something to do with Rafa and his european past. I dont think another 180 minutes would have split the teams but i beleive Chelsea should have definately won the first leg by more than 1-0. Kuyts was definately offside for his goal.

Gerrard also siad Reina was the best gk in the world, he is very good but surely he was just stuck in the moment!!!

No.. he's a fat wanker.

Yes it is terrible seeing sides that dont deserve to win with the trophy in their hands.. but there is no use crying.. liverpool 05, Crows 98/97 (finished 5th & 8th) , juventus scudetto (the ronaldo penalty incident).. the list could go on & on.. but thats sport/life.. stop crying.
