Chelsea's Abramovich the most successful club in EPL.

[Henrique 9,133]

Everybody knows that Chelsea is an old club...but it´s history as a great club started when Abramovich's took over 7 years ago. Maybe its difficult to people living in England realize it, but today Chelsea is one of the greatest clubs in the world.

In Brazil EPL is really popular, and only Manchester has a larger base of supporters. You can see lots of people wearing Chelsea´s shirts...7 years ago you couldn't even find one in stores. I remember one day in one of these stores, there was a guy with his kid. When he realized that his son was looking for Real Madrid kits he replied: you should buy a Chelsea shirt, one of the best teams in the world.

Despite the bad luck in Champions League, in last seven seasons, Chelsea has by far the best record in domestic season:

Chelsea

Premier League: 3 times champions, 3 times runners-up, 1 time 3th.

FA Cup: 3 times champions. ( Portsmouth game is a mere formality).

Curling Cup: 2 times champions.

3 times the Golden Boot: Drogba (06/07, 09/10); Anelka (08/09).

Manchester

Premier League: 3 times champions, 2 times runners-up, 2 time 3th.

FA Cup: 1 time champions.

Curling Cup: 3 times champions.

1 time golden boot: Ronaldo (07/08).

Arsenal

Premier League: 1 time champions, 1 time runner-up, 3 times 3th, 2 times 4th.

FA Cup: 1 time champions.

Curling Cup: 1 time champions.

3 time golden boot: Henry (03/04, 04/05, 05/06).

Liverpool

Premier League: 0

FA Cup: 1 time champions

Curling Cup: 0

0 time golden boot.

Ok, Chelsea has spend 30 millions in Shevchenko, but City and United have paid the same, or higher, to characters like Berbatov and Robinho...I think who keep saying that Chelsea "bought success" are outdated. Days ago the FA Youth Cup glory showed that the so criticized academy is starting to flourish and despite the inital big spend, Chelsea have become really calm in market transfers and still managed to score 103 goals in this season...all this prove that Chelsea don´t need to spend big again to stay on top.

Carlo's succes also removed Mourinho´s shadow.

Chelsea will get the Champions League crown soon or late, and I believe that 20 years from now the Liverpool´s supporters will struggle to convince their sons that one day they song "Fuck off Chelsea you ain't got no history" at Anfield.
