Default Chelski are just trying to buy the title....

But really, whats the problem with that? I think it's great, and I'm not a little envious.

What is brilliant, however (and Clan 'I was in the army you know' Blue, feel free to correct me on this) is that the ticket price (that of the lowest priced tickets) has gone up to £49! Lol. Time to get out a loan, guys!

1. Uh yeah, we are trying to "buy the title". Why do your sides buy players? So they can look pretty in uniforms? I love these arguments - if your side had the money to spend, would you turn down Duff or Geremi? Yeah, I thought so.
2. Tickets - not living in the UK this doesn't bother me, but judging by the audience the last time I was at the Bridge last fall, they can afford it.
Me, I'm more interested in seeing how much the Arse are going to charge for seats when they finally complete their new monstrosity. 120 quid for seats with obstructed views anyone?
3. At least we're not the Spurs - we actually have a chance of winning something this year. That doesn't really have anything to do with the discussion, but its always relevant.

I'll say we'll win the league (naive optimism), with Manure second. Chelsea and Liverpool will get the other Champions League spots.

You berk! I wasn't dissing Chelski. I said I was envious of 'em for actually having money to spend. READ THE POST PROPERLY!

Um, yes, i have seen that the prices of the season tickets, catagory "A" and "B" matches all went up for this coming season.

What you failed to mention-whether by simple mistake or intentionally i don't know-is that these prices had gone into effect before the take over.
Now, whilst your point still stands (somewhat) i would hazard a guess that it will be many a year before they actually go up again.

As i always say though, never let facts get in the way of a good piss take though.

You should know that one though lad, i mean, you lot "were the first to do the double"...ha ha ha ha ha.
