Congratulations Chelsea

[ThaiPauly]

Gotta hand it to them.. they totally outclassed MU, who were on a roll of their own to lift the Premiership crown on their own ground, Congrats to you 2 Lampard

A fantastic goal by Cole.

A solid team display (apart from Robben!!)

Worthy Champions indeed

The only blight on proceedings was rooney's injury.. hope he's gonna be OK for the World Cup, and what the heck did Jose do with his medals

Cheers mate..........we must have posted around the same time. In fact if my cat had not helped me so I had to do it again I might have been first.

Yeah, well done Chelsea. It must have been even nicer to have done at against United

Alex fergusson didn't even do an interview after the game and didn't even congratulate them. Red nosed, whiskey drinking, sore losing, big bag of wind Scottish bag pipe

Match report of today's away defeat in the early game against Chelsea

Chelsea are Premiership champions again after clinically dismantling nearest challengers Manchester United 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

No-one can now be in any doubt that the squad assembled by Jose Mourinho deserved the back-to-back titles only achieved previously by United in the Premiership era.

Goals from William Gallas, Joe Cole and Ricardo Carvalho sent the 42,219 Chelsea fans into delirium.

Even before the final whistle, Mourinho and his staff were up off the bench and dancing down the touchline.

With just a point needed to clinch the title, Chelsea boss Mourinho restored wingers Cole and Arjen Robben to his side from the one which lost the FA Cup semi-final last Saturday to Liverpool.

The positive team selection reaped its just rewards within five minutes of the start.

A Frank Lampard corner was powerfully headed towards goal by Didier Drogba and up popped left-back Gallas at United's right post to nod home unchallenged from four yards.

United striker Wayne Rooney's clumsy challenge on John Terry's shin after nine minutes saw the England defender prone on the ground for three minutes.

Thankfully for him, and England, he recovered quickly with only cuts on his foot from Rooney's boot studs. But the Chelsea captain was at fault on 22 minutes when he allowed Rooney to skip past him and arrow towards goal.

Facing a one-on-one with Petr Cech, Rooney scuffed his shot wide of the Blues keeper and the goal.

Seconds later Robben found himself with the ball on the United by-line but his lofted cross just missed Drogba.

United's best effort of the half fell to Rooney on 42 minutes, but his right-footed daisy-cutter was well held by Cech.

John O'Shea produced a header right on the half-time whistle, but the ball went over the bar.

Cristiano Ronaldo fluffed a gilt-edged free-kick on 54 minutes and two minutes later Robben tried a speculative 25-yard effort that too sailed high and wide.

A minute later and the game was over as Cole delighted the Chelsea faithful with a sensational strike.

With his back to goal ten yards out, Cole back-heeled the ball, twisted around and raced towards goal. He then smashed a vicious right-footer past Edwin Van der Sar at his near post.

The third goal in the 73rd minute was a delight as Carvalho started a counter-attack and finished it himself in style.

Bringing the ball out of his own area the Portuguese defender fed Lampard. The midfielder passed the ball wide on the left to Carvalho who had continued his run. He took the ball inside the area and rammed home a powerful left-footed strike that left Van der Sar floundering.

Chelsea had won the title and United's misery was compounded ten minutes from time when Rooney was stretchered off with a foot injury and is now a doubt for England at this summer's World Cup.

We will have our trophy back next season, cos, thats the good thing about a football season. Theres always another after it......

Be honest Red.. they anihalted you... I think you are a few years away from coming close enough to touch them.

But I wish you the very best of Luck.. Do you honestly think there will be no new quality personal arriving at The Bridge before the season starts again?

But you are a supporter of Man U and you expect the best.. Good Luck Mate

TP, were you watching the same fookin game. How many players/referees did they have. Lets not talk about the foul on Ronaldo that led to the first goal.

I'll admit freely that only one team deserved to win the league this year, the gap is not that wide TP and I think you're taking the piss to believe it is. Remember who beat them this season, flukey goal or not, a goal is a goal as is a win and three points.

If not for some very unexpected results, 2 losses to Blackburn, Boro away and the draw to Sunderland. Add the points tally up for those games that we would normally take and, take a look at the table again.

After one season follows another, we will have our trophy back next season. I will bet a lot of money on that fact.

I am a good loser though and, well done Chelsea.

I did.............................................after we put put on our three points for the same unexpected loss at Boro, three points for our even more unexpected loss at Fulham and our home draw with Charlton. Not much different to now.
