well, to be fair to the blues, their ascension over the last 5
years is astounding. With Roman's $$, they won the league with Jose
and that create a lot of supporters to join their
bandwagon.however, with top 3 having achieve more, and with a rich
history it is no surprise that Chelsea is still 4th.. And now with
Roman's squeeing the oilpipe, it may even slide further if no
success for this/next season..
As for newcastle, despite their die-hards, they are popular more
as an under-achieving club. Nothing much..
