Jesus....how utterly cringeworthy...

Sucks to be you!

Delighted to see Chelsea winning and also to see a nice number of opposition fans coming in and having the maturity and grace to tip the hats to Chelsea for their achievement. Fair dues to you all.

Congrats Chelsea and fans on here. Worthy winners.

Enjoy the celebrations!

I might be wrong but I think you will it hard to find another league winning manager who took off a midfielder for a defender at home to a team near the bottom of the league.

You usually don't for tactical reasons.

Maybe if Rodgers did it last season the Liverpool Echo may not have to drag up 10 year old victories to write about. I ain't bothered anyway Champions, Champions, Champions.

And a guard of honour from Stevie and Liverpool to look forward to next week.

So if your 4 nil up with a few minutes to go you bring a centre half for a midfielder and play 6 at the back.

What sort of argument is that?

The counter argument is basically being 1-0 bringing on a CB for a Forward. Give over. Stop talking bollix

It's a relatively fair one too. Early season Chelsea was like a young Mayweather, knocking people out, exciting explosive style.

After Jan, Chelsea have been like the older more pragmatic Mayweather, doing what it takes to win.

Both get lambasted by the casual but are pretty much universally admired by the purists.

Who was 4-0 up exactly?

Not quite the same as 1-0.

Liverpool go gung ho 3-0 up away at Palace draw 3-3 hope stupid is that

What game should Rodgers have taken off a midfielder and replace him with a defender that would have ensured Liverpool won the title?

Shanotheslayer

I also liked the way you used 4-0 and not 3-0 Niallo. As we all know what can happen when a team goes 3-0 and doesn't change the tactic :pac:

Palace, could have taken off Sturridge and sured up midfield/defence.

Poor Brenda isn't the most tactically aware though.

I'm certainty not a purist and while I do love watching Barca, there are more ways to skin a cat.

Chelsea are worthy winners.

Maybe Jose should have tried to score against PSG and they would be still in it. It's all maybe's.

Shanotheslayer

The hate is strong Niallo. Don't worry man, maybe next year.

Osmosis Jones

While it wasn't the most exciting of seasons, it is a testament to consistent, good performances. Every other team challenging had horrible periods of poor play while for the most part Chelsea just kept rolling. Deserved winners, congrats.

It's not hate at all. I just don't know why Chelsea fans find it hard to admit they are terrible to watch for the majority.

We scored against PSG three times!

We drew with them twice and their squad is made up of all stars.

I'm not fond of them or their captain either, but you're just asking for it posting that! Bit of a generalization too mate.

Deserved champions, not pretty sometimes but in Courtois, Fabregas and Hazard you've got fantastic players. Costa and Matic aint bad either!

The Palace result had zero effect on City winning the title. Educate yourself if you're going to try and be smart.

I'm not a Chelsea fan. I'm a neutral. You know you don't have to watch the match if you don't. Like it Yeh?.

Why would Chelsea fans be moaning about how they play when it won them a title?

GavRedKing

While the performances from Aug to Jan were very good the competition wasnt, City came close in that period a few times but since christmas only Arsenal and Utd, some what, have been on good enough runs to challenge Chelsea.

Subsequently, we got 4 pts from those 2 games only a few weeks back to end any slim chances of either team pushing us for a few more games and make us wait for the title that was pretty inevitable since about February/March.

Next year will be interesting and will be a closer run thing than this year IMO but right now, with a transfer window to come thats an impossible thing to call but I just feel we stole a march and everyone this year and were consistent enough to win it.

Theres no point winning a game 3-0 one week if you drop points in the next 2 games, this league can change in the course of 2 games and only once this year did we fail to win after drawing or lsoing a game and that was against Southampton 1-1 away and spurs 5-3 loss away, thats the consistency of champions if after dropping points you win the next couple and its something nobody else has done consistently over the 34/35 games so far.

You were against 10 men at home. There main scoring threat sent off. If you can have a go at Rodgers for not bringing on a defender you can equally have a go at Jose for not going for the kill.

No one said it's not terrible to watch, but does it really matter if you're winning?

"Chelsea win the league"

"...yeah but they didn't win the Champions League"

Who cares? Let them have this ffs

MythicalMadMan

Wow hell of a lot of bile in this thread, Jesus let them enjoy their day they won fair and sqaure and deservedly so. They have walked the league and everyone else would happily be in that position today. I hope Mourinhos comments are winding people up further.

Anyways congrats to chelsea 2nd most team winningest team in premier league history

GavRedKing

Consistency

L'prof

Not a lover of Mourinho or Chelsea, but they were too good for the rest of the league this year. 1st out of the blocks and never looked back. It's a tough ask to retain the league but they won't be any easier to beat next season either.

So your arguement over a tactic that won a league over 38 games is to point to one game in a knockout competition with higher level of opponents to disprove it, ever hear of %s or varience. Lay off the jungle juice dude, put down the laptop and try be happy for someone else for once.

Its a long road without a turn

Well done Chelsea.

Have a read back son. I didn't bring up a single game from last year that apparently cost liverpool the title. I was replying to that post. I never knocked his tactics I was just wondering why he changed a winning formula half way through the year.

GavRedKing

Courtois could win the golden glove too.

Be an excellent first season for him if that was the case.

Worst champions ever (ignoring Man Utd 2012/13 and Leeds and Blackburn, oh hell.).

DVDM93

As a Liverpool fan I seen my team play some of the best football I've ever seen played last season. They finished second.

This year, people argue that Chelsea played quite the opposite style of football (after Xmas) They won the league.

I know which of the two I'd rather, ten times over. A league title please and I wouldn't give two ****s if people called it boring. I'd argue that deep down everyone else feels the same but are just a little upset as Chelsea are unlikable at times, similar to Mayweather as they were compared to earlier. I doubt Mayweather cares that he didn't please people with a fight you'd see in a Rocky film. 48-0 and 120ish million better off, Premier League champions and 3 games to go. Why would you give a fcuk what anyone else thinks?

Congratulations Chelsea, and a fair amount of that done without their main striker. Worthy champions. They could only beat what was put in front of them, and they did. Whether or not the standard of the league was the worst in years is another question.

Enjoy Chelsea.

Combination of Chelsea game and Palace game. Had they beaten Palace would have made it a little more difficult for City the draw just handed it to City on a plate.
