Ahah, i just saw the funiest and/or the stupidest (i really don't know how to describe it lol) newspaper article on Cheslea...

It's from a spanish website 'Sport' : here you go (I reckon there's no need to speak spanish to understand lol)

If you ment to say Bos is great, then you got the sign right. However, if that's what you truly believe, then you are very VERY wrong. Which is often expected from a good supporter, but lets stay realistic here and look at your comparison without rose colored glasses. Bos is good, but Lahm and Ramos are on a whole 'nother level.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I don't really see any evidence that suggests Lahm or Ramos are better than Bosingwa. Ramos and Bosingwa are very similar when it comes to an attacking sense. If you want to use the 'Ramos scores more goals' argument, then I will point out that it is far easier to score in la Liga than in the Premier League, simply because our league is far more physical and played at a faster tempo. Plus, teams in our division seem to be able to defend, unlike in Spain. Lahm is possibly a better play defensively but he's very one-dimensional going forward. At this moment in time I only see one right back better than Bosingwa, and he's called Maicon.

I think Lahm is, not Ramos.

Wow. This passes as 'journalism'.

"It has been many a long year since Chelsea supporters looked upon those who swear allegiance to Tottenham Hotspur with an envious eye, but that might just have been the case this week.

Carlo Ancelotti's Blues may be riding high at the top of the Premier League table and assured of a placed in the last 16 of the Champions League after this comfortable romp against an outclassed opponent, yet such serene progress becomes a little mundane when it is the norm.

This game against Spartak Moscow was an anti-climax in comparison to the other Champions League game in London this week, which saw Tottenham see off European champions Inter Milan in truly exhilarating fashion. Unbridled joy flowed from the stands as Tottenham announced their arrival on the biggest of European stages and the buzz that carried over from a thrilling evening of football was still in the air as the press pack gathered at Stamford Bridge for an impromptu pre-match debrief from the night before.

After a season when extortionate salary demands of disgraced star players and the sex scandals they seem determined to be a part of have provided a seedy subplot to the action, one scribe suggested the exhilarating passion that oozed from Tottenham's players and their enchanted supporters must have reminded Chelsea fans of what following their team used to be like and he may have had a point.

A new breed of Chelsea fan has discovered a 'love' for this club in the era when Roman Abramovich's money has backed their ambition, but the Stamford Bridge diehards will confirm that their most cherished of memories following the Blues came long before this somewhat manufactured era.

Their cup successes of the early 1970s and their 1997 FA Cup triumph are higher up the list of favourite moments in the eyes of a bulk of Chelsea fans who were forced to live through the grim times before their team reached the promised land. To the old guard who view Kerry Dixon and Peter Osgood as their heroes, the new breed who have started supporting the club belatedly are little more than hangers-on attracted by success.

That Spurs have edged towards parity on the pitch with Chelsea without a benefactor who has funded their rise could make their achievements seem somewhat more pure, but it remains to be seen whether the rise of Harry Redknapp's men can be sustained in the latter stages of this season's Champions League.

On this occasion, Chelsea barely needed to move out of second gear to dismiss a poor Spartak Moscow side and they could even afford a less than convincing first half before they took control after the break.

Goals from Anelka and Drogba and a two more from Branislav Ivanovic brought modest cheers from a sell-out crowd who deserve credit for beating the London tube strike to attend a game that could easily have been missed given the transport chaos around the capital. However, this was not a night that will live long in the memory of anyone present.

In many ways, it was a fixture the reeked of everything that the dwindling group of football romantics despise in the modern game. One team financed by a Russian billionaire whose backing has propelled his 'brand' into the unofficial European super-league against a team propped up by another Russian billionaire hoping to put his beloved team on the same pedestal as Chelsea.

Spartak Moscow owner Leonid Fedun has much in common with Abramovich as both made their fortunes from Russian oil and they share a passion for playing fantasy football in the Champions League. Here, though, only one of the money men will be have enjoyed the experience.

There may have been more goals in this game than the feast at White Hart Lane on Tuesday evening, yet those of us in the neutral camp at Stamford Bridge couldn't help but feel we had picked the wrong Champions League game to attend this week. "

Soccernet

Note that this is supposed to be a match report, and all it talks about is how supposedly Spurs usurped Chelsea's glory this week. Can't miss the jabs at the new supporters and the by now done-to-death 'Russian oil money' gag. Guess the 'reporter' is a closet Sp*rs fan and is afraid to admit it, considering how complete and utter tools fans of that club are known to be. It's a fucking disgrace.

I wouldn't worry about it, Spurs fans won't be the only envious ones when we win the Double again this year.

Agree with that so an extent.

But this is just another typical anti-chelsea article..

"Roman Abramovich bank rolls Chelsea"

"Chelsea can't survive without Roman"

"Chelsea have no youth product"

Here's the facts:

• Yes, Tottenham are doing well. Bale has been an amazing find
• But, Chelsea are already through to the next round of the Champions League
• We sit 5pts clear at the top of the table
• Our youth products are emerging and gradually being integrated into the squad
• Tottenham have spent more than Chelsea, ManUtd & Arsenal in the last 4 years
• Chelsea have not been this quiet in transfer markets since before Scolari back in '08

Putting this under media bullshit because I fail to believe this is true.

CaughtOffside report Ancelotti keen on Lahm

You can see why I'd put this under bullshit because WHY would we want to sign Lahm if we have Cole?!

Carlo is probably dead tired from praising Ashley every day, absolute joke how people come up with this stuff.

Ow, it's so pathetic... How can people hate Chelsea like this ? They could have at least write one sentence on the game...

Won't deny that it is true to an extent. Some of my mates have jumped ship from United to Chelsea after the Double. But it's not fair to paint everyone with the same brush.

A stupid Sky News article (yes Sky News, not even SkySPORTS News) making a comparison between Rafa Benitez & Carlo Ancelotti. I'm sorry, but when's the last time Rafa won the double?
