'If It's Football, It's Vital'
Chelsea Upset By Curbs!
Chelsea believe Alan Curbishley's comments about Sir Alex Ferguson were 'unnecessary and inappropriate'.
The West Ham United manager praised Fergie in his column, stating that it would be an injustice if United were to lose their league crown. He concluded that most managers would like to see us over the line first and he would raise a glass for Fergie if it happened.
Chelsea expressed their displeasure over these comments which, I must say, are rather unfortunate but I don't think they have any right to complain. First, Curbishley's West Ham beat us three times in a row now so they really can't be accused of regularly rolling over.
Second, Chelsea play on a Monday afternoon at Newcastle, for no clear reason (at least it's not clear for me) apart from that they are guaranteed the most possible rest to recover from their Champions League semi-final. I would not mind it if we played our game on Sunday afternoon - but we are forced to take part in another morning kick-off on the Saturday. Is that fair? I don't think so.
Curbs since then insisted that West Ham won't roll over, claiming that their bonus scheme only kicks in if they finish in the top 10 - but in truth, they'd need to lose both their games with Spurs winning both to slide down to 11th. Anything can happen though.

Your Comments
Like you said those comments are unfortunate. And to be honest a disgrace. You cant go out and make comments like that right in the middle of the biggest title race in years.

*wrong
fenton_01
nothing round with speaking his mind!!, he wont roll over, he just sayin, if we dont win it, it will be injustice, and hes right
fenton_01
Why would it be an injustice? If they are good enough to win the league and get the most points then they deserve it... what has justice got to do with it?
FreidelNo.1
well i think we all know west ham fans wont want chelsea to win the league.
rooneyisgod
Whoever deserves will win it. We Chelsea, don't want somebody's favour.We will fight untill the death. Nobody has given the chance in september.So we are happy with the psoition where we are.

essientric sorry to disappoint you but my first united game was in 1979 when we had the mighty dave sexton as our manager.my Dad took me and him and my uncle split the cost of two season tickets between them so he could take his son one week and my dad could take me the next.We finished 9th that year and arsenal broke our hearts in the fa cup final.you call me a typical manc.What the **** would you know about mancs,you're from ****ing india for **** sake.now why don't run along with the rest of your 15 year old friends and stop spouting shi*e about things you know nothing about.I have never had any hatred for chelsea but it's little p*icks like you that's ****ing changing my mind.
java
java then you can zip it..if there any plastic fans in world football then they are with man utd...trust me on that one...you have been asking for this for a long...you can be supporting this club since 1900 and i could not care less...honestly a man utd fan talking about being a glory hunter..its nonsense..if the match b/w chelsea and livepool inspired someone to suddenly go into football and support our club...that does not make him a plastic..just as someone who became a man utd fan after their treble in 1999..so zip it mate...you sound like an old world cliche and who still in the stone ages...i thought you were decent, as did many on the chelsea board but you have gone down in my book as well as many others!!
essientric
well having stayed in london..and fallen in love with game there...i think i can honestly root for what i consider my local team too...so give a rest you xenophobic sod...honestly you are like the most naive and pre historic creature i have come across here!!
essientric

fenton_01

java

essientric
Who said I was in australia.i stayed there once...pleb
java
Talk about mountains out of molehills. You learn in football that when someone is quoted out of context, you don't get the whole story. He would not have been asked "Will you let United win?", he will have been asked something along the lines of "Do you feel United deserve to win the League?". And if you asked him would his players be trying to get a result tomorrow, I'm positive the answer would be yes. West Ham have a good record against you in recent years and no one in that team is going to want to give that away lightly - everyone wants to beat the champions. When West Ham and United get out on that pitch, it'll be no different than any other game.
