Chelsea football club - killing European club football with money?

This kind of spending power imo ruins everything.

They very nearly did - the premiership is over already and I think they will take the European championship - on Wednesdays showing I just watched on my Sky + system.

Are you a Chelsea fan Jaden?

if that russian gimp wants to give all his money to chelsea then its his problem. football is all about money nowadays anyway. nothing you can do.

Also, they tried to buy lots of big players that subsequently turned them down, EG Adriano and Shevchenko.

It's obviously a massive advantage to have a lot of money, but there have always been rich and poor clubs.

I suppose the 'danger' is that all the clubs are bought up, and money becomes too big of a factor in the game.

They bought players and made an awesome team, what's the big deal? Teams have bought tons of players before and done crap.

They're a great team.

This is hardly Chelsea's fault- Arsenal have lost to WBA and Middlesbrough, while Man Utd have lost to Blackburn.

Are you a Chelsea fan as well AC?

Abramovich according to Forbes is 11 richest in the World I think.
I am already bored with the premiership - I watched 1st division football actually at my teams ground - The Den but I like to see a competitive premiership I do not think it is.

How can you blame the other teams' poor results on Chelsea's money though?

Arsenal shouldn't be losing to those teams, Man Utd shouldn't be losing to Blackburn.

In the old days everyone lost a few to weaker teams - Chelsea have reduced this to such a low level that a few slip ups which used to be expected no other team can afford, they have 22 internationals I believe.

So? So what?

Chelsea should play shitter so other teams f*cking up isn't as bad? Why? If Arsenal lose to West Brom and Man United lose to Blackburn you can't expect Chelsea to be crap at our expense. They're there to win, and win they do. Mourinho could have bought all those stars and had them not work, but they work well. So it's obviously not about the money wholly.

As for internationals, why does it matter how many there are? It only matters if you're a patriot who believes they should be all English or a few English. For as long as I've been into football I've supported Arsenal. Not because they're a London club, but because I love to watch them play and I like their players. Same why I like Brazil more than England.

Football is meant for enjoyment, not mandatory fanaticism.

I think 22 internationals and so many match winners it was bound to work it has never been done on this scale before

I'm failing to see the point you made though.

How was it bound to work? Chelsea still draw, they still have shit games. Individually they've not got Ronaldo's, Adriano's, Figo's. They've got a few great players and some world class players who play well as a team.

they have a lot of players that are nearly as good as your Ronanldos it is the fact you can rest quality players and rotatae them with similar quality. Injuries the bane of most teams mean little to Chelsea.
If Arsenal have Henry out they have problems Chelsea do not have this.

They've got Drogba and Crespo upfront and they rarely play them together. Henry is better than both of them.

No player on Chelsea's team is as good as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho or Adriano.

Well, what do you suggest?

Letting other teams win, I'd bet. Which isn't in Chelsea's responsibility or power.

So I'm not sure what he's getting at.
