    I assume you mean Chelsea so I would like to point out that winning the CL one year and then embarrassing an entire nation of people the following year to win the European rejects cup should be considered nothing but a failure.

    Half decent sides win the rejects cup then win the CL. Porto, a club 4 or 5 times the size of Fulhams noisy neighbours are a good example of this.

    True. That, and using young players where possible. The emergence of Beckham et al saved us a fortune, but getting the most of of Phil Neville, Butt, Brown, O'Shea, Fletcher et al has also helped us avoid wasting a lot on squad players to keep the money for the big purchases.

    Yes. Whilst finishing so far behind Utd that our turds had gone white and crispy by the time they reached them <ok>
