Football

what do you mean by build a team??? chelsea have a team and a manager and ruddy good team spirit . . . i do not see how this differs from man utd. i don't see why the source of the money makes so much difference . . .

hmm . . . i think that there is more oppurtunity for middle-budget clubs due to the enormous upheavals taking place . . . i reckon that it will make football more interesting . . .

It`s different because other teams have build themselves over years and years, with alot of work, meanwhile Chelsea bult themselves recently on money. They have no special history.

Acro, It`s different from Real Madrid, altho more then half of their titles were won when people couldn`t even kick a ball, Real Madrid is a successful team with a succesful and powerful history.

About Liverpool, it`s hard to tell..and very ironic too, considering that they are still in the CL, and have a shot at actually winning it.

why should history govern how much money a club has and can spend? spurs have a wicked history but i don't say that we should be in the CL or UEFA cup or anything. you have to do it by merit today, not rely on the past . . .

Because Chelsea is more of a modern built team, and that`s why people hate them.

Most teams started out with sticks and stones, and worked their way up..meanwhile Chelsea achieved that with money.

Ok this is a point Passion, but when they sold their stadium, then begun their buy orgy and they start to win alot of games....

fair enough . . . i still can't see why people would hate them for being fortunate enough to get a load of random money though.

Well, Chelsea does have a history, even if it has been struggling along the way. When I began with Chelsea when I was in London in 1995-96, Chelsea was already the second best London team.

And the backbone of the team is still John Terry and Frank Lampard, with at least - off the top of my head - Eidur Gudjonsen, Wayne Bridge, Makalele and William Gallas also being pre-Abrahamovic...

Problem of Chelsea isn't history, but style of playing. People hate situation like in match with Barca, when they choose to guard ball in corner instead of good center, just to safe time. Other thing is that Chelsea has very boring line-up. In ManU we have C.Ronaldo, Giggs, RvN, Rooney, very popular players. All they can suprise viewers and fans. In Chelsea is only Robben, others are almost no names. Terry and Lampard are great but they play efective no for the eye.

Milan is also very well balanced team, but Sheva, Kaka, Seedorf, they know how to score beatiful goal. Not speakinh spanish team like Real, Barca, but also Valencia (Aimar).

according to my uncle i look like raul...we had a whole discussion about it in passion's thread yesterday....too bad i suck at futbol

That`s not what I meant by history.

Real Madrid has 9 Champion Leagues, making it the most successful team on European Level.

recent stuff I've heard/seen:

Gary Neville sent off against Everton for kicking the football into the crowd after they jeered him!! Although the jeering was pretty harsh . . . apparently the ball hit a little kid . . .

Barthez banned for 3 months for spitting at the referee!!

JUVE IS GOING DOWN!

Milan 2-0 PSV ...Woooooot!

Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea ...What a boring game.

YESSSSSSSSSSs. Milan vs Liverpool--FINALS

Champions League is dumb. Premier League is the real thing

Premier League:

Chelsea :trout: Liverpool

Bye bye Chelsea

Unfortunately I'm not a real hard-core fan. If I was I would root for anybody to beat the team that beat mine. But I'm more like... if it can be Chelsea, go some other British team... In this final, I'll just be neutral and hope for a good match.

Bye bye Chelsea
