Bigger team you guys don't get it the only reason players like Torres came to Chelsea was for the money. But now all the more discerning mercenaries are of to Citeh and Paris!

liverpool reminds me of an old scruffy washed up tart who cant accept she's no longer relevant now.

Torres only came for the money

Can't have had anything to do with ambition and a desire to win trophies, a concept that has totally vanished from Pool

Pool strained themselves finishing second. We finished there despite having our worst campiagn since the Ranieri days

liverpoo fans bring up the 2nd place finish like it was some sort of achievement

I think if the premier league has taught us anything it is that 'istory will trump astute signings, technical ability, strong management and desire everytime.

I mean that's why Liverpool have won the PL so often......

What I mean about Torres coming for the money is that not only could Chelsea afford him but they have spending power in the transfer market. That makes a small club in London artificially big. The bubble will burst now that clubs with more history such as PSG can compete by paying big fees for players.

Incidentally PSG are a sleeping giant, a little like our good selves but we will always be around. You can't buy what clubs like Liverpool and Man Utd have, although you try to imitate it (a bit like how you chavs imitate the middle class) it's all rather embarrasing.

il tell you whats embarrasing. its paying £35m for carroll

Sleeping giant, hmm, kind of reminds me of how we were often described in the past. Well we are wide awake, back to bed now scouse you are clearly getting a bit grumpy being up this long.

Mate, we stopped thinking of you as our rivals some time ago

As for us spending money and distorting the market-haven;t you just spent £103 million to try and get 4th place?

Agger, you call us chavs but Liverpool is known for the highest rate of teenage pregnancy, youth gangs, crime, shell tracksuits, perms, ugly women, men who grow moustaches to look like their mothers and you have the cheek to call Chelsea fans chavs??

Haha you are a joke like Liverpool FC.....

30m shevchenko ring any bells?

£30 million Shevchenko




































Never failed to finish above Liverpool

scrotu.m

shevchenko was probably one of europe's most lethal strikers at the time

andy carroll is a lager lout masquerading as a footballer yet he cost £5m more than sheva

here's an idea of how the two are rated in world football

You've been watching too much Harry Enfield. You must have ventured north of Watford when you used to support Man U? You would see our beautiful city of culture is nothing like the sterotype.

Never failed to finish above Liverpool
--------------------------------------------------------------------
so finishing above us is your definition of success.

kenny, do you want david villa for 34.2 million

no thanks, give me andy "drogba" carroll for 35m

Christ a Liverpool fan bringing up culture and history, absolutely shocking, they usually have such forward thinking fans.....

ere kenny, do you want mata for 20m

no thanks, get me jordan "xavi" henderson instead

And that Messi chap's not a patch on Joe Cole apparently

we didnt pay 35m for carroll. we used 35m of your squandered cash to buy him leaving us with 15m

At least u spent the remaining 15m wisely on Henderson.

Which you then used on Jordan Henderson

Torres, Alonso and MAscherano to Adam, Carroll and Henderson

I don't know any other sert of fans who would call this progress

15m wisely on Henderson
----------------------------------------------------------
player for the future. you see were not all about the past
hate to see what yours holds if you dont win the cl AGAIN this season.

Agger - I've been a Chelsea fan since I was around six or seven so over twenty years now, never supported Utd or anyone else thanks.....

What time are you due to sign on today? Enjoy my tax money

Seems that the OP has a genuine inerest in culture, specifically being voted European City of Culture. I suggest he does a bit more research into how a city is voted to be ECOC.

A quote from the EU "A 2004 study conducted by Robert Palmer for the European Commission demonstrated that the choice of European Capital of Culture served as a catalyst for the cultural development and the transformation of the city.".

Therefore you were ripe for transformation and London is not.

You will find that this award is such a joke, just look at year 2000.
