Surprising stat of the day
At this stage of the season the best team these shores have ever seen THE INVINCIBLES had only scored one more goal than the current chelsea team.
Incredible but true

And weren't the Invincibles lauded for their attacking displays? Thought I read that somewhere. So you see this Chelsea team isn't just the best of a bad bunch of teams, they're actually pretty good.

Oh come on jackson, there defenders have scored 20 odd goals between them, they aren't an attacking team.

I'm pretty sure that no one has said Chelsea are no good, you played some great football through the early part of the season but you can't really argue that you are now playing pretty stagnant boring football to ensure you get over the line.

Liverpool will wish they'd done it last season and no Arsenal, City or United fan would care how our respective clubs closed out a title winning season.

But take on board which ever team was doing it you can guarantee opposing fans would be chanting boring boring whoever.

Enjoy it mate, Chelsea deserved it. :-)

When spurs beat then 5-3 that hurt Jose and he won't play free flowing football for a while now. I feel for hazard

Facts are facts Jackson mate and they show the two teams scoring records are almost identical, its a bit like finding out West life had as many number one hits as the Beatles.
Its been over 40years since the Beatles broke up but their records are still played all over the world and todays teenagers all know who the Beatles were, but the stats say there was nothing to chose between the two bands ;-).
Funny old things stats

G69, great comparison! Although my feeling is that you and ed02 really need to get out more, maybe you could have a date together?

Well yeah, no one's said that this Chelsea team aren't good. But I have seen people that are of the opinion that they're going to win the title only because the other teams have been bad and not because Chelsea have actually been good. Of course everyone's entitled to his own opinion :-)
I agree that the attacking displays have been less than thrilling, but that's also down to Drogba playing much more than he should. It's hard to do much attacking wise with him up front. The whole pressing game collapses as well as he doesn't have the legs to close down defenders. Matic and Fabregas are obviously tired as well as Mourinho hasn't rotated much during the season. So I think that's a contributing factor as well.
I understand people calling us 'boring', but I myself find some defensive displays remarkably entertaining. Seeing wingers try to go past Azpi is just so much fun (emphasis on 'try') :-) Defending is a part of football, and when a team defends well I can actually enjoy that. For example, I really enjoyed the game vs United. The defense was amazing and being a Chelsea fan I can take pride in that.
