A big congratulation's to Chelsea...
Champions on merit, Clearly the best team this year.
Good luck with the double.
-
I think no team deserved to win it this season, maybe they should have raffled it. I'd despise Chelsea far, far less if Drogba wasn't such a to55er, and if Anelka wasn't such a to55er.
-
As a gracious gooner....... it sticks in my throat..... but
-
I think there is already a long running thread about no one deserving to win.!!!!!
-
The team that finishes with the most points always deserve to win a League.
As regards Drogba, appalling behaviour. But there was only one winner in the confrontation between him and Frank Lampard :)

Indeed. The one about the greedy bar/restaurant owners and the tourists ;)
-
They won over 38 games and are deserving winners,
BUT, Drogba is more than a to55er, dont know how the supporters put up with him,
-
Well done Chelsea - put fergie in his place :)
-
Not the best season for Chelsea, the JT story unsettled the whole team and we lost the way a bit but we've won the league. Drogba- well of course the bloke was hungry to win the golden boot and of course he spent 6 weeks out of the game at the African cup do he had less games to increase his goals. Lampard was very gracious after the game about the incident -"he's hungry for it that's what make him the player he is". Well done the Blues more of the same next weekend please.
-
Had forgotten that Drogba was away in Africa. That coupled with the fact that Rooney has 4 penalties is his total makes Drogba a worth winner of the Golden Boat. A pain in the backside, but a worthy winner.
-
Ashley Cole, John Terry, Nicholas Anelka, Didier Drogba.
It's always nice when such positive role models for aspiring kids win the league.
-
Nicholas Anelka winner of Golden Boot last season = to55er
Didier Drogba winner if Golden Boot this season = to55er
Ashley Cole and John Terry both had affairs, WOW! can't think of another player who has ever done that
Typical blinkered Man u response, gracious in defeat as ever.
-
Man U response?

Maybe it's just the colour Blue that Scunner can't stand ;)
-
you are a man u fan
-
I'm a Luton Town fan
I'm intrigued by the thinking that scoring more goals than everyone else in a season excludes a human from being a to55er!
-
you also like man u, you told me that, ok then why are they to55ers?
-
I much prefer Man U to Chelsea, that is very true :D
Why are they? Drogba: Because he's a big 32 year old spoilt baby. Anelka: Another spoilt brat. Pathetic examples of the human race.
-
Pathetic examples of the human race? thats how I would describe the likes of Ian Huntley, not professional footballers at the top of their game, even if you don't like them.
-
Come on Tinx, would you like them if they were playing for another team. I wanted Rooney to get the golden boot,
-
Pathetic role models, pathetic professionals "at the top of their game". Any better? :D
-
Clearly the best team not just because they scored more goals, they also have the most clean sheets, did the double over man u, arsenal and Liverpool, broke the record for most goals scored ever in a premiership season, finish off on the highest score they have ever done, scored over 25 goals on 6 starts without drogba and a mid fielder that consistently scores more goals then most forwards and it was not like the Mourinho days were it was all 1-0 but instead beautiful attacking football. Also the top of the table changed 22 times this season and I think one of the best seasons in a long time when one time doesnt finish up with several games in the season to go.
Chelsea deserve to be champions by a long shot.
Just 15 more to break Liverpools record.

Would you hate them if they played for your team?
Obviously not after your season:D :-\

If they played for Liverpool Tinx, I would make Leeds my first team, I even heard your own supporters booing Drog the gob yesterday.:P
-
I'd wager a sixpence that the vast majority of fans south of the border would have a different opinion of Drogba if he was English and would forgive him his sins ;)
-
Fickle fans:D:D:D
-
I don't think they would. We don't like prima donnas like that, especially when they pick up 50 grand a week+! If he was 17 you might give him a bit of leeway - but this is a 'mature' man who has been in the spotlight for ages! He's lucky he can't be thought of negatively under the Tinkerman Law of goalscoring. We might have liked Fred West a lot more if he had been both a mass murderer and a twenty goals a season striker :D
-
Be fair........ We dont know what Drogba is like laying a patio!!!!!!!!
-
He certainly goes down easier than one Barry!

As a United fan it's been a funny season for me, I've watched some belting games at OT, watched some dross as well, Wigan, Leeds and Wolves at home for instance. As for the title well, Chelsea deserve it they have the most points and that's that well done pat on the back now let's see if they can win it three on the trot. It's funny but they still look and play like Jose's team, how long will that last I wonder.
Also I'm not 'bovvered' about the the character of any player, I'm only interested in watching him play football. I remember singing along with a few thousand others that Vinny Jones was a *anker, it then dawned on me that although I didn't think he was the best of players on that pitch, he was playing and I was paying. Who's the *anker now I said to myself.
So from then on I have never really wasted my time hating this or that player, I want to watch good football full stop. How can you not watch say Ashley Cole and think, yes I'd have in my team, he's brilliant. I would not want Liverpool to win at tiddywinks but Torres Carragher and Reina have been great to watch this season, in my opinion. I just don't get hating a player because he's a sulker or cheats on his wife, I'm not paying good money to judge his bedroom antics I'm paying to watch him play football.
On the role model aspect, yes they do have a duty, why not introduce a sin bin for decent, any back chat or swearing at the ref then your off for 10 minutes. No booking required you have just cost your team big time. Just a thought.
Actually there was a bright moment in the Wolves game, Michael Mancciane, he had Rooney in his pocket all night what a brilliant game he had.
Anyway now the season has ended COME ON ENGLAND! Whoever is picked from whatever team I hope they play well and win, I don't suppose the Jocks, Micks and Taffs will be too happy but who cares, COME ON ENGLAND!
-
Thats a great post Java,
Come on England.
-
It's a surprising post from JC I'd say that :D
I can't agree with one point. Ashley Cole is not brilliant. No Chelsea player is. I can't think of any player really who is 'brilliant'. They do good things sometimes but just how brilliant can you be when kicking a ball? A player scores with a 30 yard volley into the top corner and almost invariably we hear the commentator scream "That's brilliant!!!". Well, I don't think it is. Someone who gets paid for kicking a ball should be able to do it quite effectively. To score with a long kick isn't "brilliant", it's what they do. It might be an effective example of their talent, but that doesn't make it "brilliant".
If I did it, that would be closer to brilliant, because I did it with far less talent and it could qualify as brilliant through my chances of doing such a thing being much lower and far less expected. If a giraffe did it, now that would definitely have to be considered as brilliant, but not someone who is at the top of their tree for doing exactly what they just did, kicked a ball and got it to go where they intended.
Discuss? :D
-
Brilliance is in the eye of the beholder :)
-
I don't think so :)
I believe there can be flashes of brilliance from these top players but maybe once or twice in the careers of one or two percent of them. Scoring from 30 yards is not brilliant from a top division player, I've seen loads of top division players score from 30 yards. A Zola or Bergkamp moment perhaps brilliant, but there haven't been many in my lifetime ;)

Bank's save from Pele in 1970 [?]
-
Actually, for me no [:o]
This might make a good topic of it's own [?]
-
Was think the very same - which IS worrying ;)
Perhaps not just confined to fitba :)
-
I think that to be a fair comment,Keith.Brilliant is akin to that much abused word " unique " . Brilliance to my mind is consistent excellence and that is very hard to achieve.
-
New topic {A Link to an old CBF topic was here - no longer available}35489
Interesting Frank, so you can't see something that took 2 seconds to achieve qualifying as brilliant? Anyway, we have a new topic to discuss this :)

it wasnt dross as you say watching a 3rd division team knock you out of the F.A cup at home, when the home fans started leaving early(probably to get the 1st train back to london) it was priceless ;) ;)
-
The pass of the season was Gerrards cross to Drogba against Liverpool,should have put Gerrard up as Chelsea player of the year.
-
Scunner, you have to look past his faults as a person, I'm no fan of the mans personal life but having seen him play against Utd for years i have concluded that he is a brilliant full back. I'd have him in our team like a shot.
Same with Drogba, what a big girl but what a player, the personal stuff gets us nowhere in the end because we don't know these people. I might sound sympathetic to some dubious characters but I'm only considering their football talent. I loved booing Shearer but at the same time I could not wait to see him play against us. I certainly don't enjoy watching a team of no marks shut up shop and have no chance of experiencing some good football, win or lose I want to see something that I can appreciate. Torres for example, just because I'm really enjoying watching Liverpool struggle I would be gutted if he leaves the premiership, what a talent.
Don't get me wrong I love having a dig at the other teams and their players personal faults, with my mates, but I don't really mean it, I'd always look forward to watching a good player from any team.
