Mind you, the League last season was one of the most exciting ones.  Gap between 1st and 2nd was 1 point, closest since a long time ago.  Yes, well done Chelsea, but I wouldn't say Chelsea are miles ahead.

my point is when their team hasnt won anything, then they grumble and moan at other teams.  when they are winning, then they're happy.  get it?  if man u won next yr, then chelsea fans will start moaning and stuff.  get over it

Thats the general attitude of a soccer freak dude.

If united wins next season's EPL, OF COURSE the chelsea fans will grumble!

the wishes will be passed, but WHY WUDNT THEY GRUMBLE?!! all the other fans would...THEIR TEAM HASNT WON FOR GOD'S SAKE
@IVO - omer pointed out the exact definition of a glory seeker/hunter!! Yes, arsenal havent won a cup in half a decade now...but at least we know abt our history, abt the legends we once had...overmars, pires, bergkamp!!

cuz most (not all, most, i repeat, most) have no idea what manchester is, all they do is they accidentally hear the name of manchester and how they won the league three times in a row or whatnot or how they won that mosco final and TA DA! they have been born manchester fans! ask them who cantona is they have no flippin idea ask them who scored the goals of 99 they have no idea what happenned in 99 to start with
arsenal and chelsea fans have gone through lots of toughness, and the fact that neither of us won champions league is enough of an explanation to prove we dont have any glory hunters

Hey, Man U has loads of fans alright!  Theyh have a large fan base in Asia, so that says quite a lot.

Just get over it, let's end here.  Mind you, not all Chelsea fans have stuck by.

You said it. True fans = 20% of the "Large Fan Base" , the rest? "G-L-O-R-Y S-E-E-K-E-R-S"

If there are fans of a team who dont want their team to win, i dont know what fans are.

tell me, i was only wishing my team well, who said i was being disrespectful

they do, but they do not undermine other teams's achievments
ryte now as much as i hate barca fans i never take credit away from the team, if someone tells me they possess the greatest player of all time in messi i do not argue
if i tell arsenal fans they're retards for repelling anelka away from the club or liverpool for never signing him on a permanent deal they dont argue with me and so in
what manchester fans have been doing is totally ignore the "good sports" spirit, and either go on that overused phrases of how chelsea has no history or about how they will win it next season
how many fans actually said congratulations?
how many said the better team won? and dont get me started with how manchester fans think we beat them 3 times this season was unfair, i am really sick and tired of that, how many times did manchester ride their luck?! at least we won with effort!
we beating the Arsenal Liverpool and Manchester (also in the CS) home and away, we beating Aston Villa, a high quality side, 7-1, we scoring 7-plus goals on four ocassions, point me out one neutral who denies we deserved that title

You just said it
a lil part of me was happy we went thru such hard times, cuz all the fake fans desserted us through that time, making the remaining ones as loyal as it gets

Well thats my point: ASIA exactly! they are the ones who claim supporting manchester while they have no idea who da hell are the current players (except Ji Sung Park and Rooney) let alone the legends!

Well to be honest with you, and i suppose ull agree with me , Van der sar was a better GK than cech.

Cech got the gloves only because of Chelsea's Awesome defence.

Yea ill pretend i didnt see the first line :P
if you ask me i would have said Given or James, but its about the number of clean sheets, cech is a top class keeper but he made too many silly mistakes, and seriously, Zhirkov if he gets the minutes he is gonna be turning defences and attacks on their heads  8)


and ih yea speaking of James, Pompey relegated!  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

LOL!! come on dude, van der sar was definitely better than cech. admit it :P

pompey, that was very very unfair on their part...  :'( :(

Benitez quits - As a soccer fan , i must say this is sad news for EPL. He was a great manager and will always be remembered, 'pool should sell Gerrard/Torres, doesnt matter if they finish mid-table for a few more seasons, they have to stabilize their team now, financially too.

I have to agree, van der Sar has been a better goalkeeper this season, but not the best in the league.  I think that goes to Given, he has been great this season.  It will be interesting who gets the no. 1 jersey for City next season, with Hart so hot on form.  It's true Cech made quite a lot of mistakes and his injury in the middle of the season didn't help at all.

Well done to Drogba for earning the golden boot, certainly well deserved especially missing a couple of games due to the A.C.O.N.  

I'd say (again) well done Chelsea this season for winning the Double, thoroughly deserved, and it was nice to see them, especially Terry, pull through that saga earlier on in the season.  We'll deserved with the amount of goals scored, but the 1 point difference showed that everyone was falling apart at some stage, though Chelsea still deserved it in the end.

About Man Utd being lucky at times, yes of course they have been lucky, like that last minute goal from Scholes in the Manchester derby.  But surely Chelsea have scraped through 1-0 wins and last minute goals as well, surely that's what makes football so interesting, the unpredictability factor.

And lastly, can we just respect each other, amidst all the rivalry between clubs, we just have to accept that some fans are "glory hunters", maybe some of our "glory hunters" will be moving over to Chelsea now!  Who can talk now!  :P  There are always fans from any team who are "glory hunters" but then again there are so many other fans who are so passionately in love with their clubs.  About the Asia comment, surely it's good for the EPL that the football is expanding globally, maybe the likes of Chelsea will follow suit.  

And sadly, how unlucky it was for Portsmouth with their tough times, but I must congratulate the players and the manager, Avram Grant, for staying strong and guiding them through the final, and putting in a tough fight for Chelsea!

Now, let's concentrate on enjoying the World Cup and we'll see whether next season will be as exciting as this'!
