there really isn't much to argue. It's been forever since they won a title. It was like 30 or 50 years, I can't remeber.

They won the EPL only once in their history

yeah, i think it was about 50 years ago

martini · Division 2 Rookie

yeah it was, this is the 50th anniversary this season, which is supposedly giving their title challenge extra special Confused

ah well, we all know they've bought their way to the title in a way no other team has ever done, i don't want to be called a bitter man united fan because we havent won the league, because that isnt it. Last season and seasons before when Arsenal have won it, i have had respect for them, because they earned it fair and square (well as fair as possible with robert pires in their team

), but i have no respect for this chelsea side, as it has been down to a multi trillionaire that they have won it. (Altho JT and Lampard have had a fair say in it 2)

Technically money buys your way into everything, isnt it money that got Nistelrooy , Giggs and others to United anyway? Chelsea finally got some money and they bought the right players, played their cards right and won the league. we cant say it is just the money, you know UNited can beat chelsea anyday anywhere anytime... its just they got lucky and did better overall... and oh well, about time they win... pff
