Frank Arnesen, latest in a growing list.

Chelsea are after 50% of Tottenham's dream team. Our Danish Director of Football, famous for spotting new talent and (up to now) respected the world over has been 'tapped up' and it looks like he wants to go, not surprisingly.
With the Malcolm Glazer affair, Cole-gate, Abramovic's rise with claims that Chelsea have 'bought' their title, and now this. Add this to a season with some on the pitch 'incidents' and I must admit to feeling a bit jaded about the game in general.

The team I love has made big progress nevertheless: Out of a league of 20 teams. . .

Only Arsenal scored more goals at home.
Only Chelsea and ...one other team, have shipped fewer goals away.

If we hadn't had our 6 game losing streak when Santini left we'd have got into europe via the league with points to spare, and finished above Liverpool who, as we know, are the greatest team in the universe. (sorry Henry, ho ho ;-)

(we're half way there!)

I'm not going to say we're the best team in the world yet. But if we can get away from the lies and greed for money in the papers then such a young talented british team are bound to achieve something very soon.

Chelsea's money is starting to overbalance the topflight game in this country. Add that to an apparent lack of morals in the Stamford Bridge management team. What about the future?
