It won't change anything even if you post it a thousand times, people will just get annoyed by your postings the more of them you post. There's just no use crying over spilt milk.

Indeed, it's almost like a religious debate..

The creationist are just not susceptible to logic.

[Rambo 1,729]

Unless you have a crystal ball to look into the future, then you are the idiot!

It may or may not happen, but the fact that the possibility exists still poses as a threat.

[Spike 12,049]

Apparently we have been relegated.

[Wavy Crockett 190]

let's not act like City has been the best team in the world throughout the season, it's just that we've been very poor at times

there's no reason we won't be able to compete for the title next season if we make the right moves this summer

Bloody Arsenal...still chance to knock Spurs out at least

It may or may not happen, but the fact that the possibility exists still poses as a threat.

A possibility yes, but not an certainty as some people have you believe. Because you rule out unpredictability.

Could you honestly have predicted years ago that Juventus would win the serie A undefeated after having been relegated to the second division?

Sports is always unpredictable, and you can never say what will happen.

Bookies, TV and such had you believe that Chelsea had no chance after being down against Napoli 3 to 1. Or even worse no chance against the best in history, Barcelona.

Unpredictability is the name of the game!

People who preaches you otherwise, then it just shows that these people don't know nothing about this sport!

You're exaggerating...

In the midst of a victory brought by endless pounds Chelsea have finished a derisory 6th (our worst for 10 years) ending the United-Chelsea monopoly. But lets not forget. in the darkness a glimmering ray of light still glows bright aided by our exploits in the FA Cup - The UCL final. On the face of it a victory will give us breath in the Champions league next season, and a prestigious double. But the overtones are far greater. At this stage City with their Ethiad deal provide a most tantalizing prospect for any player to join with Man United being up their too. But winning can change it all - we can't forget our check book is not exactly eclipsed by City. Their purse is ridiculous yes, but with our clear need to replenish footballers looking to play football would surely be enticed to join the European Champions. City have a damn good squad and aren't going to stop replenishing by the looks of it, but Roman won't be so easily outdone. Competing in the champions league next year will go a long way and I firmly believe if we do, players like Hazard - who have shown footballing intellect - will choose Chelsea.Winning the League, will crown you champions of England but winning the Champions league will crown you club world champions. I know what I'd prefer.

No because as you can see, members on here are still not 'getting it' (case in point.. the latest poster ulsterchelsea). Heads well and truly in the sand, they probably still haven't understood the consequences of the etihad deal either.

you wanna pull me up on somethin you mug,then quote me!

Exept this time, City have found a way to dominate, which we failed to do. Thanks to that deal, and the current football climate under FFP, they have the monopoly, that's the difference.

That remains to be seen, i would say.They do have the best financial situation. But as we saw today, it didn´t matter to much, they were absoloutly lucky to win this.

You sound like one of these apocalyptic priests on a high street, repeating that same one thing all the time without any actual prove. For all the money they have, they just managed to win the title.

Who says that if we win the CL we won´t attract a lot of hot piss players ?

History won´t repeat itself you say, but also history never happens exactly the way we try to predict it also. So, let´s wait and see, and hope that Chelsea will do some good buisness over the summer so that we can attack in the League next year.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Why did they all look one way? Was announced on the PA or something?

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

just been watching that...genius.

think the cats fans started cheering first

[Kojo 4,676]

I don't think people are giving Man U enough credit though, have you seen the squad Man United have?, they had there best defender injured Vidic, who for me is the best centre back in the world.

They didn't spend that as much as City have. They've had to play youngsters most of the season fair to play to them, they did really well, yeah they got very lucky at times but still. City have spent miles more than we have, 38 million on Aguero, 30 million on Dzeko, 25 million on Balotelli, Tevez and Adebayor aswell.

Fucking Mancini brings back Tevez when he says he will never play again, also brings back Balotelli when he says he will never play again.

City won it in a poor season and still struggled, and managed to win on goal difference. For me they didn't deserve it.
