Chelsea are champions again

Chelsea are champions of the English Premier League for the second consecutive year. They wrapped it up with a 3-0 win over ManU. They were always ahead throughout the year and it was just a matter of when they were going to win. The other teams were just trying to catch up. Although everyone might say that they had the money and bought the best players, but I think it requires a lot of teamwork and dedication to win the league.

Jose Mourinho is the best coach in the world at the moment. It is amazing that he has won the league for 4 years running (2 with Porto and 2 with Chelsea) and that shows the class of the man. He would be disappointed though that they did not go farther in the Champions League or in any of the cup competitions. He is a very agressive and a sharp shooter. Sometimes he crosses the lines with his comments, but ultimately he shows the results.

A few good ones i liked were

On his arrival - June 2004
We have top players and, sorry if I'm arrogant, we have a top manager.

On his new job - July 2004
If I wanted to have an easy job...I would have stayed at Porto - beautiful blue chair, the Uefa Champions League trophy, God, and after God, me.

On Roman Abramovich - March 2005
If he helped me out in training we would be bottom of the league and if I had to work in his world of big business, we would be bankrupt!

A thoroughly deserving victory for Chelsea

Coming soon: The gunners are in the Champions League final and hope they become champions.
