We Are No Longer Champions

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Didn't take em long, on the team graphic on Sky yesterday they had removed our gold badges and in fact we didn't have any badges on in that graphic.

Any roads well done to Chelsea they have been the most consistant team over 10 months so they deserve it. I just hope we come back with a bang right from the off in August.

Great win yesterday City, although this high defensive line will be the death of me I tell thee!!1

We were champions of LAST season anyway. All this "we're champions until Chelsea mathematically win it" shite I've been reading for weeks is a load of fucking rubbish! We stopped being champions of LAST season the moment the first ball was kicked for this season back in August. From then on nobody was a champion of anything as nothing had been won for this season yet.

You have three months in the Summer to celebrate being the champions of the previous season. Then that's it, it's consigned to the history books and you have to then concentrate on the season at hand.

And thank fuck I won't be hearing that shite mispronounced Spanish chant "championes championes ole ole ole" - fuck me is that one of the worst chants of all time or what, and made up by the fucking Rags at that.

we are still the champions till the last day of this season, then it is Chelsea, like Wimbledon and the open you are the defending champion till the next person wins

Yes we do, we are the Champions and until 4.45 on Sunday May 24th 2015 we remain the Champions.


So tell Sky. BBC, all the print media that!!

We could shout it at them until we are blue in the face and they still would sneer at us, wait until Stelling's mob have a go on Saturday

Sorry, but we aint. It's called a title race for a reason. Chelsea raced well to win the title by 3rd of May 2015 and will hold the title now till they get beat or come first again in next seasons race.

Ah right, so Kipchoge wasn't the Marathon champion until the last person finished?

 

[I Hart Man City]

....I will never congratulate that guy, from my own perspective they won this championship for grinding out results, but what sticks in my throat was the backlash when mancinis side used the same tactics when he first arrived at the Etihad, ....

I remember Mancini's first full season where we drew 0 - 0 with Arsenal at the Emirates which was a great result away from home to top 4 rivals (who by the way ended up in 4th and us 3rd so an excellent result) and our play was criticised from every corner for being a park the bus performance, overly defensive, we didn't try and play football etc while Chelsea do it and it is called tactical and pragmatic. You just have to laugh, other than that the only option is to go insane.

Titles in the bag that is the main thing. Chelsea finished in 3rd spot last year. Only as good as yer last campaign.

Actually you're wrong.
Technically the league isn't over until all games are played, and it's possible (albeit remotely) that a club could suffer a points deduction. Of course, it won't happen, but theoretically it could. If Chelsea were to field an ineligible player, they could be deducted points, and in theory that could be three times for three games. They could also lose 10 points by going into administration. So, despite all the media, technically they aren't champions yet.
