If Chelsea were some plucky lower division side coming to Arsenal in the Cup and trying to escape with a draw and a replay then you could grudgingly admire them for playing that way and getting the result, but a team with the infinite money cheat on really have no excuse to be playing that way.
They'll be champions but really poor champions, no-one will remember this side like they do with the Wenger side in the early Noughties.
There was some MOTD Extra thing on Sunday morning, with journalists on instead of the usual idiot pundits. Even they were waxing lyrical about Chelsea, saying how it's impossible not to admire them.Quote:

They haven't lost a game against the top 4 this year. When they decide not to lose then they pretty much don't.
It depends what you think the whole point of football is. If you view it as a sport and if as a fan you view sport as a competitive form of entertainment then there can be no excuses for the chavs. They are simply the most horrible blight imaginable.
However, if you view football in terms of money and publicity the chavs are worthy champions.
The trouble with money is it usually makes you lose sight of everything else and everyone around you becomes equally blind. That's why these pundits are into day 3 of apologising for the chavs. Underneath it they know how shabby the game (which is no longer a sport in the true sense) has become. They have all contributed to the fall.
I was reading about De Gea wanting £200k per week to stay "loyal" to Utd. I have no sympathy for that club after they dumped £300k per week on that scrote Rooney. You play the money game and it works both ways. But still, a goalkeeper wanting just shy of a quarter of a million a week so he can play his part in a broken parody of sport.
All the definitions in football are now inverted. That's why Maureen is admirable, the chavs are worthy and the pundits are experts.
I hear the third Manchester club won promotion. Good for them. I hope they reach the top BUT remember why they exist in the first place. They probably won't.
The accurate definition for Maureen and his chavs is despicable. That word sums them up best.
Arsenal aren't virtuous either, of course. But we haven't crossed that line where the intent of sport is obliterated. In some ways we owe the chavs becuse they have pushed that line a further mile into the distance.
Some light relief

Hazard was superb on Sunday, btw. A real big game performance.

F1, boxing, UFC...there are certain drivers, fighters that are efficient at what they do and it's not always entertaining to the average fan. Chelsea are no different. We just have to find a way to beat that style of play and quit moaning.
