Chelsea to win the lot - could anything be worse?

I think if Chelsea make a clean sweep of every silver ware that there is,it is good fo football.U must realise that Chelsea are a very good side,determined and confident and indeed they deserve a clean sweep.I think the manager is a great one as well.

good piece...chelsea are like cash for honours..you buy privilege. so what is the big deal in winning!

Good or Bad? It is a very contentious question you are asking Donna. Was it the same problem when United won the treble with players when the cost of that team, though obviously not as costly as Chelsea, who were starting of a long way back in player class and a board of derectors who made mistake after mistake with business decisions. Was it contentious when Arsenal and United battled each other for the Premiership over the 3 years before Abromovitch. I can't remember reams of paper day after day downing those two teams efforts. Please be aware that this league has been a two way battle for too long. Surely you cannot say that 4 teams battling for the same honours this year. Don't forget that Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal are in reality on a level playing field with Chelsea. If you are realistic, you will recognise Chelsea as a team who just wont give up trying to be the best they can. Even though this year, I am certain they are not as good a team as three years ago, in the pure f

So was it "good for English football" when Man united won the treble in 1999? As for the cheque book jibe, remind me just how much Man Utd paid for Ferdinand, Rooney, Carrick and the long departed Veron?

Dear Donna Football is football fullsopt. Whether you like it or not chelsea play with the same 11 guys and one ball. If Mourinho gets the quadruple God bless him, he worked hard for it and so did his boys and staff. I didn't hear so much moaning when ManU was winning its titles in a row...

are forgetting that JM won all there was to win with Porto, with a budget that wouldn't do for Fergie's new suit...

As if having the team that's won everything - Man Utd - for the last 10 years would be good for the game? Did their treble damage English football - of course it didn't!

stop whingeing.....firstly it is still a very tall order to win he other three....just as everybody was seduced by man u s win over roma, that now every team will be beaten 7-1, everybody jumps on the wagon hat we will win every game in injury time....altho i would like to win all of the games, i am sure there will be a few more twists before the end of the season....the bookies re still maing untied favorites, quite ritly so, they have 4 more points than we.... secondly i didnt hear u complain when united walked to the title year after year... u could argue that without romans money, the prem ship would be a lot less interesting..i.e united would be 20 points ahead every year and the tv contracts would be lot lower subsequently.. as far as general englishness is concerned , where is it more embodied than at chelsea , who grind out result week after week...the main protagonists mite notbe english, but the spirit most certainly is........

It is not just having a dream team and it is not just money. What if M U won all those trophy what would the public said about such achievements? Chelsea have a team and had proven to be the champions and winning means hard works and teamwork. If Chelsea won all the trophies it is because they deserve it! Let the best team wins and let it be Chelsea!

First off, let's dispel the myth that money alone can buy success. Real Madrid are the prime example of a high spending, failing club. Chelsea, like Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds United, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, etc, etc, before them win because of excellent management, team spirit and sheer will. For the same reason ManU, Liverpool, Bolton, Arsenal, Everton and Newcastle could all still beat Chelsea this season. But one thing Chelsea ought to be given credit for is the current strength of the English Premiership. Do you think there would be 3 English teams in the CL semis if it hadn't been for Chelsea raising the standards required in the Premiership? I don't.

i'll just tell you one thing - it's not about the money. jose indeed is the special one, like it or not.

actually this question has nothing to with football or chelsea...it has all to do with that in england you do not like winners...u think heroic failure is a much more attractive concept...as highlighted in the adulation which is bestowed on failures like frank bruno,henry cooper,stirling moss, tim henman,jenson button, david coulthard..the list is endless none of them ever won the ultimate prize..daley tompson,linford christie,lennox lewis, steve regrave, damon hill...respected may be , but loved no...even nigel mansell won the sports personality of the year , when he blew the world championship, not when he won it...so how do u get popular and loved in england....HEROIC FAILURE...so one of us should be loved by june, but it wont be the winners.....

You're horrendous reporting!!!

i think its great cause this means one team is truly better then the rest

Why is it the worst articles get the most reaction? Donna you seriously have an agenda with Chelsea. You criticised us in your last article. We can't win with most people. If we win the quad most people will be like "Oh but he spent all that money" and also if a feat like that is done we won't get the credit we deserve just because we are successful and it happens to all teams that are. First up its not a certainty that we will win the quad. If we win the champions league and fa cup, good on us but if we win the premiership it would be more of a case of United losing it. Do you guys not think we should be credited for not giving up when we were 8 points behind at one point and everyone backed united to do it. I don't understand why that would be bad for english football. Do you not think that would say more about the english spirit in our camp maybe? If United do the treble how bout their english spirit?

i think you forgot they had to play newcaslte and winsomething which man u did not do anyway we still have the tree point lead.. and no disrespect but have you seen the fixtures they have, liverpool,bolton, liverpool,arsenal,man u,everton,man,u and man u again or ac milan. i hate chelsea but i will admit if they get though that night mare they dserve to win the quadrouple... but as for bluto, are you off your head mate, what are liverpool arsenal manu and chelsea the big four, because they have the big cheque books, i for one think that sbig sam at bolton and harry rednap are some of the best premisership managers out there but the reason why they are not in the big four is they cannot aford 100k per week for their player and the 20 mil it takes to but them ,so dont be stupid of course its the chequre book, up until abromavich turned up you never looked like winning a premiership or the european, i will swallow the fact as a man u supporter that you deserve to win the quadrouple but not that garbage, stop c

stop chesleas 100 million a year cash injection (and before you start i am an accountant and have access to companies house information on the income statements balance sheets and cash flows for their club and you are being proped up by on average of 103,728,452 and 52 pence every year that 103 mil for you financially brain dead people) you are not telling me you would win the premiership with out it... to be fair to you klaus you are right we alway back the under dogs but this time i think it because we can see the way our premiership is going, we want it to be open i am all for it being a six way competition next year, if everton and totenham can make it that way, i dont want chelsea to win it every year, it would be even boring if man u won it 10 seasons on the trott you want at least some challenge...

and a challenge what we have now...as i said its not over yet and i did say that before this afternoon....neither have u go past milan yet , but i think we have been there before...pse stop harki ng on about romans cash ..ts getting boring...in a way its the old tradition of a rich benefaktor without football would be dead anyway...just a slightly higher level..

0-0 The title race is back on!

Ive never heard such biased rubbish. This is nearly as bad as your article about man u bein the best of british and arsenal the worst. if chelsea win four they deserve it. but no more Donna Gee for me, the rubbish you write gives me a headache!

The CZelsh might be lucky amd win the FA Cup, but that's about it. We are gonna take the rest.

Hi klaus. yes i know its boring, about the money. i dont know if you noticed but i was only replying to someone called bluto. to be fair though i was only making a general remark about the big four having money thats why they are the big four, the can buy the players, they can pay the wages, they can push the fa around with soliciters, its not me harking on its a fact, not one of us would be up there without the money.. i am only pointing out that chelsea are there because of a rich benefactor, pluto is smoking something strange if he thinks otherwise. you will probably see liverpool do the same next year, the only reason why they are getting their stadium is through forign investment of the americans and they will have a nice cheque book next season, and after a full season of 60 thousand fans a game so will arsenal.. in some ways it does sort of level out the playing field you kind of wonder wit the status if man u had put the capacity to 90k with all this new money their would of been no one to stop them.

i have no problems with chelsea winning but if season after season will ruin the premiership, if we win it this season i will be happy for a few years. (p.s. i did mention you may be facing ac milan i know its probably 60-40 their favour know with our back four the way it is....) and i do hope tat totenham and everton can start to play big league, lets face it nothing better if it went to any one of 6 at the end of next season, and it would only improve the premiership therefor bringing in more sponvcership and improving thingsd again competition is healthy. look at scotland celtic won it again suprise suprise.
