    You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

    United are considerably more lower class than Chelsea, and have been for years. Without the Glazers money Utd are no bigger than Leeds. And don 't forget, Utd started the big money input, and for years outspent everyone else, hence their success. However that's all over now red rover, look forward to seeing you try and hang on to top 4.

    Seriously?! Seriously?!?!

    Yeah, without the Glazers taking over half a billion quid out of Utd (as much as we've spent on players in the last 20 years) we'd be absolutely ****ed <laugh>

    The whole "Chelsea are nothing without Abramovich" argument is bollocks, but jeez mate, think before you post...

    Oh, and of the 21 seasons since the PL started, we've only been the top spenders in two of them <ok>

    A lot of people still don't understand the United debt, so it wouldn't be surprising if he did believe that lol

    Very true. They choose to believe it has somehow helped us financially, just so they have an excuse for our continued domination of the PL since the takeover.

    Of course there are still people who believe Martin Edwards provided us with financial support, rather than selling his shares off for a massive profit to any pikey he could find. Whatever helps them get to bed at night <ok>

    Yes, it was just coincidence that after the share issue you went out and bought the best talent. Pure coincidence <doh>

    Their names shall be forever removed from history as they do not fit in with our glorious past of buying success! :shocked:

    No diego don't panic, my original comment was an attempted joke trying to show that the" Abramovich dough is all Chelsea have got" arguement is pretty rich coming from Man U , who started record spending and for years outspent and beat everyone else. Kettle, pot black arguement.
    Glazers have suprised as many people as RA by hanging on as long as they have. Time the money bollocks was put to bed, so many Clubs are cashed up now its moot.

    Would agree with the bits in bold but must point out that although we have probably broken more transfer records than any other English club we have not often been the seasons highest spenders ;)

    Chelsea have not produced a homegrown 1st team player since the Russian money started rolling in 10 years ago, at least Utd has a core of mainly British young players that have come up through the ranks. Sorry but Chelsea´s way of buying titles is one of the reasons why the National team is so shyte. Now its even worse as you buy promising youngsters that are lured by the glamour, yet they can get nowhere near the first team and then get farmed out on loan to waste a few years of thier developement, young Josh springs to mind

    Yes because England had been so dominant on the international stage prior to Roman's acquisition of Chelsea! <doh>
    Utd have a core of young players who have come up through the ranks?
    Name all the players in Utds starting XI who came through United's academy?!

    Dont talk bollox mate. <laugh>

    Chelsea's problem is they just want to field so called world class players in each position. That's why they would rather play Torres then Sturridge, and that's why he was never given a chance. Just as Lukaku will never be given a chance, all any player coming through their ranks
