I dont support a premier league club ( Hull City's my team) but is it just me who thinks that chelsea arnet winning the premier league but more or less buying it. i mean yeah i know man utd were the richest and bought a few players but they also had a lot of talent from their yourth academy. Chelsea have bought at least six or seven a season for the past two or three seasons completely out bidding other clubs and some of them dont get used and are unable to show their talent mainly the english ones.

sorry if people disagree but its how i feel and had to get it out of my system.

I agree totally, they just splash the cash make higher bids than any other clubs

at least its not just me then

At least we know this can't last forever, "Chavski" may be able to buy titles for a few years but when it all comes crashing down it's probably going to be like Leeds but ten times worse.

The positive thing is that we get to see some world class players playing in this country, that we otherwise wouldn't have seen. But the worst thing is the way they sign other clubs' top targets just to stop them from having them, and leave them on the bench ruining quality players' careers.

Shaun Wright-Phillips is a prime example of a top player's career ruined by Chelsea.

he was the one i had in mind and scott parker altho hes at newcastle now i think

Top player and Shaun Wright-Phillips don't come in the same sentence.

It's happening with alot of sport now not just football, where it's turned into a business.

What about top player and Hernan Crespo?

I think the difference between Chelsea buying top class players and other English teams doing it in the past e.g United buying the likes of Ferdinand, Veron etc... is that United earned that money through success on the pitch. Chelsea are having it handed to them buy some sugar daddy and the success is following.

As a Liverpool fan, them spending hundreds of millions on Shevchenko, Essien, SWP, Crespo, Drogba etc... to win things makes me realise what an achievement our Champions League win was. It makes me even prouder when I think back to the quarter-final and the 2nd leg in Turin. We were winning 2-1 from the first leg at Anfield and went out to Turin to play Juventus with Traore, Nunez and Biscan in the starting lineup. Gerrard was injured and Alonso made his first appearance in a couple of months returning from injury. Not to mention the likes of le Tallec, Potter, Warnock, Welsh and Smicer were all on the bench.

I guess what I am trying to say is that it's not about buying the best players in the world, it's about buying the best players for your system. The managers are key and Chelsea have one of the best in Mourinho - that's what worries me and that's why Chelsea will be successful but I'm not giving in before a ball is kicked. Chelsea fans laughed last summer when we finished 35+ points behind them and we signed the likes of Crouch and Zenden while they were buying Essien and Shaun Wright-Phillips. We managed to drastically reduce the gap to 9 points.

For the first time under Ambramovich Chelsea are buying actual world class players in Ballack (I know he was free but his signing on fee and wages will cost them a fair whack) and Shevchenko, and that worries me slightly but we don't play Chelsea every week. There are 18 other teams to win points off.

Chelsea have already raised the bar in the past 2 seasons, now it's up to ourselves, United and Arsenal to step up to the plate. From a Liverpool perspective, I think we are 3 players away from putting together a serious title challange. I have every confidence in Benitez and the players that we have already, but we lack a goalscorer, a right winger and a leftback. If we can get those 3 players then I fancy us to give Chelsea a real go for the title.

What is interesting for me is that what happens if Chelsea don't win the Champions League? They are obviously going all out to get that title but what if they don't pull it off? Mourinho may be under some pressure.

I Hate Chelsea

I personally have no problems with Chelsea Football Club. I just find Maureen's attitude concerning cheating rather embarrassing (i.e. it's ok for Drogba and Robben to dive, but when Messi of Barcelona does it, it's an outrage). I find them the lesser of three evils, however, as far as the top three go, though I'd like to see Arsenal really challenge again next year. My team, unfortunately, have no chance.

Chelsea, do cheat with there millions, I wonder how powerfull Jose Mourinho would be without Roman Ambrovich.
Like to see Liverpool win it next season

i think jose is a good manager i mean he won the uefa cup and champions league with porto.

They have 11 players
We have 11 players

Personally I think that the Premier League should have a long hard look at introducing a salary cap.

I propose £20 a week.

( We won the FA CUP then so it clearly works!)
