    Especially when you consider that some past winners are not really big despite having won it, eg Feyenoord, Porto, Red Star Belgrade. No wonder Ginger hates us! We stopped Chelsea from becoming big.

    Don't forget Marseille, Forest and Villa. Hardly the giants of the game...

    Lol Ginge, please tell me that next year will be your year <ok>

    But yes, probably only a matter of time before Chelsea win it. Although Abramovich's desparation to win it as soon as possible may see you getting effed up by the FFP rules when they come into force if he keeps replacing your talented youngsters with expensive imports...

    We have been close a few times for sure and with a little more rub of the green we might just sneak past FIFA's refs and win one :)

    Course not you daft ****er! Neither was yours. I'm just belittling Chelsea's achievements to wind you up a bit. No offence intended or anything <ok>

    Chelsea will see the difference between being a proper club who works and earns everything they win compared to one who buys it using some other guys money because there a shocking outfit otherwise.

    No amount of PL titles, FA Cups or whatever will change that and nor will winning the CL....

    Arsenal deserve to win it long before Chelsea.

    Beside Uefa will never let Chelsea win it.

    Probably not the worst considering he was an accademy player and did have a few decent games, but im going to go for Luke Chadwick, showed some potential, but really has bombed, though to be fair he did bag a goal against Leeds so its would be unfair to be too hard on the lad. But where is he now, playing at a the very mighty MK Dons (no offence, Dons fans!).

    As far as a player whom we actuallt payed money for as a flop, ignoring the obvious Veron's, Bosnich, etc; i would say either David Bellion, or Liam Miller i must say Miller was probable worse than Djemba-Djemba because at least when we Djemba he was a back up not in with a great chance of a start

    Its not Carrick anyway,even when he was in West Hams youth team,he was nothing more than a one paced Newcastle reject.

    It's funny that, because he was the only signing we made the summer before we got our title back after 3 years without it. Imagine Liverpool being just one player from a title-winning team <yikes>
    Instead of 4 or 5 <laugh>
