I guess it's no surprise that anyone related to Chelsea are positive about us doing well and all others aren't. Well, time will tell all.

Uh oh....you got the kiss of death from Raneiri. :eek:

Now all you need is for Pele to chime in!?!

(Realistically speaking...i think its highly probable Chelsea will get a double... a treble a bit chancy, and a quadruple? well, then we'll all have to bow before Mourinho...and of course, I don't want that to happen!?!? :D )

I read that this morning as well. SAF sure has a way with words for sure. I think we have still yet to see the full potential of this Chelsea side for sure, but to win all 4 tournaments is a HUGE ask. Arsenal really were going all guns (sorry bout the pun) last season and we still managed to not make the treble.

The problem with doing a treble or indeed quadruple is there are 2 cup competitions involved, and all it takes is for one bad game and its all over. Besides Chelsea will likely have to face Arsenal in the FA cup at somepoint. THere is a history there you just cant ignore.

Of course, it would bring much joy to see Fergie's spleen break if Chelski did do the quadruple...so maybe it is worth it! :p

Well, SAF is Scottish or all UK residents(Wales, Scotland, Ireland and N.Ireland) are considered brits?

Yes. British subjects.

He could get an honourary knighthood for foreigners – like the one Bob Geldof got.
