The British mentality is to moan about what we are jealous of.
Yeah, everyone knows Johan Cruyf's really british and he has a lot of reason to be jealous doesn't he! I guess he's talking shit too, cos you obviously know more about football than him! And Barcelona's players must be jealous too, in fact Mourinho said the whole world wants them to lose so I guess the whole world must be jealous!

I'm talking about genuinely world class players, not just good players. Robben and Duff don't have the quality to threaten decent full backs so they can hardly be classed as world class. It's easy to shine in a 5 man midfield or in such a defensive side as Chelsea, but Lampard and Terry haven't really shined for England.

And most of Chelsea's goals come from long balls and set pieces where useless lumps like Drogba can be quite effective, plus most teams are scared shitless of them anyway and were never going to get a result.
