Biggest supporter of United on an Arsenal forum goes to Tony. Never fails to big them up especially when they won something.

Fucking hell Chelsea was by far the best team last season and hammered teams for fun. Had it not been their mid season blip this season would be the game.

They won the league by one point mate.

Not the best team by far at all.

Read the post as a whole stop. Stop reading into it.

So you were just chatting shit then. Cool.

Well I asked a question out in the open.

You made a ridiculous statement out in the open.

In the last seven seeasons Chelsea have the league three times, the FA cup three times and lost a champions league final on penalties while making the semi's most seasons. They haven't fluked anything.

Still struggling to grasp exactly what the point of your post was though...

So can we say Chelsea's title last year was a bit of a fluke?

It was a question not a statement.

I already admitted that Chelsea's time was in 05/06 but in the later years they haven't done as well as they hoped or even should have with all that money and 'big club' statements. This is how Chelsea fans took the piss out of Gallas when he was here.

"Stayed at a big club. You shudda stayed at a big club.. Stayed at a biiiiiiiiig club etc"

Last season they scraped over the line. They were the best team and the league win in itself can never be a fluke but even United fans have admitted they have scraped over the line this season. Well one guy did on the bbc website article about Malcolm Glazer. It just seems that last season was a blip while United regrouped.

My point is that Chelsea are not as good as they are potrayed or how their fans think.

This is more aimed at CLRNC. I hate Chelsea and people have been saying United are shite for years. Well Chelsea aren't as good yet if I criticise them then I'm a United fan. Always the same.

Unless you are strange we should obviously be striving to get the success that they get.....NOW. Trying to fob me off as a United fan won't get you extra points. I don't need credibility from you or anyone else here to be honest. I've said this upteenth times. Also I was one of the few that stated that i'd prefer Barca to win the CL over United when some of you were busy cursing them or saying you wouldn't care. I was delighted they reached the final.

They stopped spending big and the trophies dried up. ManU have always spent big and the trophies flow.

What Chelsea fans sing is about as relevant as us singing we're the greatest team in the world.

Still don't get your point other than some nonsense praise of United but ho-hum...

United had a bloke on the bench and two players on the pitch today who cost indivually as much (more or less) as our starting team today. That's why they don't worry about Chelsea's spending and 'just regroup'.

It's not relevant but it gets to you. It's fan culture. And don't you speak to any Chelsea fans or hear their views on TV/Radio/internet?

And they still spend big. Torres, Luiz, Ramires etc

Surprised at the level of respect for Chelsea if i'm honest.

They have respect because they have a quality team.

Chelsea have been cutting wages and selling players for seasons. Don't let the splurge in January confuse you.

And yes, I know plenty of Chelsea fans, so what? I know plenty of ManU, Liverpool and Arsenal fans who chat alot of shit too.

How much did the players on both the pitch and bench cost relative to Chelsea's pitch and bench?

At least we can say we don't spend as much but Chelsea can't even say that.

**** Chelsea.

Hasn't there debt gone up? They spend bigger than any other team bar City don't they?

Still they could be worse. They could be winning nothing at all like us.

:glee: We're nearly there Lagos my friend, Wenger has only 3 years left to run on his contract and then we'll be rolling in silver again.

The club's already rolling in ill-gotten gold.

In news today thieves have broken into the Arsenal trophy room at Em***tes stadium.
Police have asked people to be on the look out for very expensive carpet on sale cheaply.

Obviously it isn't the first time you praised or defended united tbf, thats why I said that. You always big them up whenever they win and then scoff at us gooners who said they were shite. Always often defend them when it obvious the refs throughout the season is showing double standards for them. Just note how many times they escaped this season.

Chelsea were so good last season its unbelievable. They were whacking people for fun and even won united at home. Yet how you can say it was a blip, it wasn't as good etc etc is beyond me. And you also conveniently chose to ignore how shite united is this season, the ref favouring them and just simply praise them as the dominant team while chelsea's the blip.

Hat trick for Maxi Rodriguez. Smashing 3rd goal. A drive from outside the box on his weaker leg.

Liverpool and Citeh could blow past us next season. Hell, Citeh might even do it THIS season.

Suarez is such an exciting player. He moves brilliantly off the ball and is full of creativity when he needs to get past opponents. I would like an exact replica of him in our front line.

If the roles were reversed, you'd be carping about us only being able to do anything when the pressure is off.

Liverpool will challenge for top four because they are a good club, but don't get carried away. Without significant investment, their real battle will be with Spurs for fifth place again.

Chelsea were not unbelievable. They won at Old Trafford with an offside goal. They won the league by a point and were not as dominant as in 2005/06.
They lost six games last season.

Having said that they were obviously the best team in the league that season.

But why are you praising Chelsea?

I was just thinking. 12 Premier League titles in 19 years. That's just pure dominance. In a league where rich owners and great managers have been coming and going, Ferguson has just owned his adversaries. What he has gotten out of his team this season has been extraodinary. Nobody would claim they had better players than us overall, but they had a better balance of skills, size and experience/youth and that helped carry them to the title and a CL final.

I don't care which team you support. I don't care how much it pains you. You have to salute Ferguson for what he has done this season and in the past two decades.
