Tuchel, Chelsea manager 12 months ….3 trophies.

Not bad i suppose :wenger:
 
If you’re a Chelsea fan (guessing you are but don’t know), how do you feel about it right now? Happier than if you get 3 points in your next PL game. Happier? I’m not knocking it by the way; when you get down to it all sport is essentially worthless, or rather it’s value is only in the eye of the beholder. I do seem to remember SAF talking about it’s importance, perhaps in the year they dropped out of the FA cup? Might be mixing my memories to be fair.
No I am no Chelsea fan. I am a fan of ÖSK. My club recently got relegated to Superettan, the second tier of Swedish football. I barely watched this Chelsea game.

I watched Napoli Inter on TV and I had this one on the computer, but kept switching it with Leverkusen Stuttgart.

Manchester United is by far my favourite foreign sports club. And United winning this trophy on top of the Champions League would make me feel much happier than a random 3 points in a season with almost zero hope of wining the PL.
 
Since 1992 (the inaugural season of the Premier League) no non-Premier League team has won the FA Cup. The last time a non top flight team won it was WH in 1980.

Maybe the FA Cup is a useless competition.

In terms of determining which is the best team in England, yes utterly useless.
 
The thing that we United fans don't like or want to here. Only deluded fan will still be happy the way Manchester United are run right now.

So Chelsea beat Palmairas by an extra time penalty in a pretty awful game and your first thought is to come on the Caf to the Chelsea thread and start blowing smoke up their arses whilst moaning about United?

Pretty odd. No one who supports United is particularly happy at the moment but some of you lot need to seek help.

Maybe it's people like you who need to come to reality. If you have so much problem about others comments or praising other team then stop replying to them or asking them to seek help.

Chelsea are run in a better way than us. Nothing wrong or controversial in that statement. If you have problem or cannot admit that then you can live in your bubble and rewatch the 2008 CL final and enjoy the past
 
Absolutely don’t have a drink to celebrate. Not unless someone is with you to supervise the use of your devices.
I'm gonna go out now and I hope to spend a long time with some coppers.
 
Thread title is too modest. Should be "Super World and European Champions"

Ahh so you much prefer people who wallow in self pity. Gotcha. Crack on!

Jeez No one is self pitying. Saying they are run in a better way is a fact. Again if you love to live in a self bubble where all look rosey and deluded then carry on. No one is stopping you but stop replying to people who have higher ambition for the club than you.
 
We get to run around telling people we're Champions of the World for a year, so definitely glad we won it. :lol:

Why are you making things up? Where have I said everything is rosey? I’m not sure you even know what point you’re making. Here’s a clue. You aren’t making any point and you aren’t posting anything insightful. It’s quite obvious Chelsea are being run better than United in many ways given we are saddled with the Glazers and have struggled to do anything of real note post Sir Alex.

I don’t need to watch Chelsea amble to victory in the world club cup to have that lightbulb moment which is why your comments seem odd and a bit weird.

You were the one who replied to me. Why are you getting so butthurt on what people post. One one hand you say it's obvious chelsea are being run better which is what I said and then you replied to my original post asking to seek help.

Stop policing people and maybe for a change post something good. If you don't like someone's opinion then reply with facts rather than asking them to seek help or posting shit which you seem an expert at. And if it makes you so upset seeing chelsea getting praised at the cost of United , stop coming to caf and stick to watching United past glories.

Anyways wasted enough time on you. Enjoy
 
Do Chelsea fans even give a shit they won this?

My enthusiasm for this tournament was largely dependent on whether we won it. So yeah I'm buzzing that we've won this. Nice little holiday for the players. Pick up a nice trophy. Not bad.

Perhaps we’ll interact again when you hit puberty.

Yes I do. It is the first time the club has won it. It is also the second cup this season and three for Tuchel in one year at Chelsea. Winning cups never gets old. Losing them gets old real fast.
 
Palmeiras is the 4th best team in Brazil and they actually always struggle when facing better teams and had to use defensive tactics. Their win against Flamengo was a defensive display, they did not have the fire power to match Flamengo's squad.
So, this E.T. is not a good sign for Chelsea, IMHO, despite wining a sort of friendly cup.

Anytime you get to a cup final, teams play conservative. It is a great sign to win. Also great that Havertz had that penalty and was ice. It should boost his confidence.
 
Ouch. Not what you want to hear. Hope it's nothing serious.

If it was a stand alone tournament I would agree it was pointless but you have to become champions of Europe to even get in it.
 
Really clever from Dave to keep the ball before the pen until the final moment. This video shows how much the Palmeiras players were shit talking him before the kick they thought he would be taking. He said in an interview afterwards he knew they would do it so he didn't want Kai being put off.

That's some pretty fantastic captaining from the captain. Great to see.

Yeah, I’m inclined to agree. You’re the only club in Europe to qualify for it after all! Financially speaking the prize money seems to only be £5m so an extra 1 or 1.5% of your turnover. Not a huge amount but it’s the unquantifiable aspects. The Middle East is a wealthy market and it can’t hurt to be crowned world champions there.
 
Chelsea are going to end up with some kind of record surely, for games played. They’ve played 40 this season (Utd are on 33 for comparison) and they’re still in all competitions. They could easily play something like 70 games if they go deep in the FA and CL
 
Congrats to Chelsea, fantastic achievement and triple crown (CL, European SuperCup, Club World Cup) completed.

It is laughable to dismiss such games as mickey mouse trophies, they are the pinnacle of the sport and you do not get there by invitation. This also shows the PL really is a top 3 league, with Liverpool (both PL and CL winners), City (PL warriors) and Chelsea (cup warriors) the only consistent super powers in ten years.

Also, it is laughable to claim top 6, top 10 or whatever… for all the monies tier 2 clubs have, the best players in football are wary to join tier 2 PL clubs instead of European top clubs because nobody likes to fight for the 4th place trophy in England… and rightly so: who cares, really?

Again, very well done to Chelsea… if one, the Russian oligarch showed that big monies can buy competence and build a competent, self sustaining system after the initial bounty.
