Another year another failure (Chelsea FC)

Well today ended the last hopes for Chelsea to win the elusive Champions League tournament, as well as winning any trophies period. The Champions League tournament is considered by many to be the most prestegious and difficult tournament to win in the professional soccer world, even beating out the World Cup tournament. Chelsea came within inches of winning it three years ago, if it wasnt for John Terry, (Chelseas Captain) hitting the post in penalty shootouts. Well it has been quit a turnaround from last years amazing Double winning campaign. The double for those of you who do not know is winning two major trophies in one season. Its hard enough in professional soccer to win one trophy so winning the double in two major english tournaments (FA Cup, FA English Premier Leauge) was quit the accomplishment last year. So it was fair for every Chelsea fan in the world to expect great things this year. The begining could not have been any better. Chelsea was scoring 5 to 6 goals a game. It was like watching a video game. Three weeks into the season I could feel Chelseas grasp on the trophy becoming tighter and tighter, man was I wrong. Injuries began to plague the team, and poor form away from the Bridge (Stamford Bridge, Chelseas Stadium) became regular. Now the best Chelsea can finsish is third place. Another year is about to be over for Chelsea, and all I can do as well as the rest of the Chelsea nation, is wait for next year.
