yeah, i think they would make it into europe, but not the Champions League, although saying that, with Everton getting in that spot this season, and Liverpool's unconsistent league form, it isnt too farfetched to think that they could be pushing for that 4th spot |

sure u could argue that he could have bought any club, and it's only a matter of chance that he came to chelsea, and i argee, but i think it's good that abromovic came along, though. the premiership is full of losers. the only real contenders it has ever had are manchester and arsenal. abromovic added competition to the league. |

But Manchester United and Arsenal worked their way to the top with great management, clever buys on the transfer market, good tactics etc... we didnt just buy the best, we grew and nurtured them, unlike Chelsea, and it wasnt just chance that he bought Chelsea, he had his eye on Manchester United, but he didnt want to spend 800 million on a football club apprantly, and he was recommended to look into Chelsea, as they were a Uefa cup sort of placed team, and cost 500 million less. |

yes, i never disagreed with the fact that chelsea's approach was an unfair one, all i'm saying is that it turned out to be in the best interests of the premierleague because it increased the competition. look at the italy, with juve, milan, inter, parma, lazio, roma, the league is basically up for grabs! look at spain. but in england it's always been just man u and arsenal. regarding the purchase of chelsea, of course chelsea was the smart buy, but what had stopped abromovich from buying norwich or everton? instead of chelsea, norwich could've been #1 right now....they could've had all the good players. not really a matter of chance...i meant to say that it was good fortune on chelsea's part. |

in italy its usually just juve and milan going for the title, and in spain its usually real barca and valencia. basicly im saying its not just england that the top 2/3 are far ahead of the competition |

this season is not an amazing reflection of the competition i was trying to depict because it has been a little one-sided in every league, but usually the serie A and the liga have a lot more competition, at least a lot more than the premierleague... |
