Chelsea - Double title

2 out of 4 titles wont be bad for most sports organization in any country, any sport.

FA Cup and Carling Cup winners, Chelsea - was just amazingly resilient. Just doing enough to win both these titles. Runner up in EPL and semi-finalist in Champions League is not all that bad either.

What attracted me to Chelsea about a couple of seasons ago was its character. I hated ManU until then, and didnt really care who played against them, I would support the other team. Along comes Chelsea and Roman. Beats ManU in its own game (spend a lot of money and build a winning organization). Now, Chelsea is worth about 3 times as much as it was worth before the Roman era. Business success. 2 EPL titles, 1 Carling cup, 1 FA cup... U name it, they have it... Champions league will come in due course, undoubtedly.

Mourinho is a genius, say what u may about his unconventional, almost irrational bragging. The chosen one, has done not many things wrong... Winning should absolve him from some stupid mind games.

Players I love: Terry, Eissien, Drogba, Lampard, Cech, Carvalho, Ballack, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Roben, Makhele... With so many amazing players, its not a wonder they win or atleast lose less:) Now, add one or 2 decent strikers and the goals will pour in...

Go Mourinho... Go Roman... Go Chelsea!
