Just back from Bolton. Strange place
I smiled, I cried, I smiled, I cried ...and then smiled.
Bigtime.
There is a God after all.
He just happens to go by the name of Jose ...
Super Chelsea!

You realised I'm going to get endlessly pestered about this when I go to Russia in the summer?
It was bad enough last year, but now Abramovich has actually won something .....
Congrats on winning it. And special congrats to Ranieri for proving that money alone can't buy trophies.

You've been remarkably subdued about your successes so far this season John. I guess it would be churlish to complain now. Let the carpet-bombing commence.

It's funny, but it felt a little bit anti-climactic finally winning the title this way, because for a while - and everyone else thought so, so I don't think this is arrogance - it felt like when, not if. Or maybe I just can't compute the idea of my team of misfiring Blues finally being champignons. Oh well. I shall enjoy letting it sink in. I have a feeling this might just be the first instalment... Roll on Tuesday, anyway...

Aye, congratulations from a Man City blue, it does all feel a bit of an anti climax from here. Loads of money, top players and the top coach leads to champioship. As an observer it was a foregone conclusion from far too early...
Top coach underlined as I do recognise it's not just money.
(What's that, we played them twice? Beat them and drew one you say? )

not wishing to be a party pooper...but:-
with £214,000,000 spent even Sedgley Blind School Old Boys XI would have won the title....
still, respect either way, 50 years is a long time to wait for a title and i am sure a few ales will be quaffed in celebration....
reckon can they do the Champ League as well???

Ales? I very much doubt that any Chelsea fans know what an 'ale' is.Dave R wrote: ... i am sure a few ales will be quaffed in celebration....
Let's face it, if they don't win it this year, they'll spend another few hundred million quid in the summer to make sure they win it next time around.Dave R wrote: reckon can they do the Champ League as well???
Not that I'm bitter, or anything.

Money is certainly an essential element here. But it's not everything. It's a moot point whether Ranieri would have ever won the league, even if we kept on spending 100 million every year. It's also a moot point whether Mourinho would have still won even if we had only spent 30 million. I don't know the answer, but I do know that OVER TWO YEARS most of that spending money was wasted, and had little effect on the final result. And believe me, whatever Chelsea fans say, we'd much rather have done it without the money. If what Kenyon says is true, we may have to from now on...

Didn't see many snake-belts tonight. Shame.
Liverpool annilation against AC. Oh dear. I thought we'd struggle in the final and be the underdogs.
We'll all cringe.

To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

it was weird watching the game in london, as a celtic supporter I knew all the songs that the anfield crowd were singing and I found it really hard not to sing along with fields of athernry - still classic game to watch - not sure about the goal tho
on reflection, being born turned out not to be such a good idea after all
