Great joy in Russia at the result. Must warm you cockles to know that tax payer money is funding a London footy team.
Can I top up your pint of sour grapes DF.....? How about a small bitter chaser....
This cup win was down to hard graft and teamwork, a tough season for Chelsea with little investment based on previous millions spent (wasted)....
Scolari proved that money doesn't buy you success....it's the leadership, tactics and inspiration of a man like Guus that builds success.....
Thats a bit rich Coxey. Especially when you say it to an Everton fan. You won't find a harder grafting, underfunded team in the Premier League than Everton. An when all Chelsea's recent success has come from Romans billions investing its an even more ironic statement.
Look at the relative benches for the cup final. We had Nash, Gosling, Baxter, Castillo and Jacobson compaterd to Hilario, Ballack, Kalou, Belletti etc Hardly a team short on expensive/experienced players.
If a previous coach couldn't get things out of that squad then there is something wrong behind the scenes.
I have to admit that as an Everton fan I am jealous of the billions Chelsea has to spend on players but would not swap that for the passion and determination that Everton play with. Moyes has made a very small squad with little investment consistantly the best club outside the 4 billionaire clubs for the last 6-7 season.
Thats my 2 cents worth anyway. Gutted we lost the final but extremely proud of the season we've put together.
