Ok cocksucker. Point it out instead of saying pretty much. Pretty much as in, oh wait, nothing. Chelsea always underachieves in Europe. Every year people say "oh this is the year for Chelsea" and bam. They're out in the fucking quarters and semis because they kill themselves trying to win the league. I'm not sure why United haven't played well in Europe the last couple years, but they were a little banged up by the time knockouts rolled around (the Italian teams don't play nearly as physical a game as England which is why they're more fit in the spring when Knockout phase rolls around). Liverpool made it to the finals thanks to a good draw and a lack of injuries. Had the rolls been reversed injury wise with them and say, Chelsea, then Chelsea would of went to the finals (probably would of won the league too). Chelsea didn't start to get very healthy until the end of the season. Not only that, but not having Cech cost them a SLEW of games.
It's still early. We're only past the first weekend of the season. I think Liverpool will win the league because they're starting out the healthiest, they have no African mainstays that they'll lose to heavy international duty, and they have the most depth. That's not laughable buddy, it's logic.
