How does that change the fact that Chelsea were going into liquidation and they needed to be bought by an Abramovic to avoid being another Leeds? And when they were bought in 2003 all they had done in the last 3 seasons was scrape 4th in the latter and win no major silverware. Speaking of Leeds they finished Top5 five seasons in a row 1997/98 to 2001/02 did that give them unlimited funds? No. Other teams like Spurs if they just get top4 did it give them unlimited funds? No but even if teams are bought now there's so many very rich teams now that it won't be as rewarding as when Chelsea were bought a while before ManCity and others so there were less title challengers for Chelsea to beat and it was quite new into 4 teams being allowed in ChampionsLeague as well so with those funds they didn't earn it guaranteed them ChampionsLeague every year for over a decade. Also anyone can be top at some point in the season and ManUtd were bottom after the first 2 games of the Premier league but didn't mean they were crap they nearly won the league the season earlier then won it despite the bad start.
Great memories, I do feel had we not lost poyet for 3 months and Flo for two months with injuries we would of won the league that year, excellent team back then
Crikey, I just remembered how different the Bridge was! Memories made of watching Wisey, Zola & co. And still the greatest team in London! #Carrrrrrefreeeeeeeee
So many strikers (including 2nd strstrik were at the same season. : Flo , Hughes , Vialli , Casseraghi and Zola. But at that time the main formation for most teams was 4-4-2.
We were so close to winning the league that year. Everyone forgets that and thinks we only existed from 2003 onwards yet we were so so close that year. Most people only remember it as the year Man Utd won the treble and to be fair they had a bloody good side but so did we. What did us in was not adequately replacing Casiraghi. He's remembered as another "chelsea striking flop" but he really wasn't. He was incredibly unlucky. He only scored 1 goal in 11 matches but the amount of times he hit the post, bar, or keepers made miraculous saves against him was ludicrous. If he hadn't got injured I'm sure he would've been a twenty goal a season striker that we were crying out for. What screwed us was the board. As soon as we realised he was out for the season (and eventually his career was over) we should've bought a replacement (don't forget, this was before the days of the transfer window, we could've bought a replacement any time in the season), unfortunately we didn't and had to rely on goals from midfield. Made worse when Poyet was out for 3 months after busting his knee on boxing day... Oh well, what could've been....
+Keith Fitzsimons poyet got 11 gls in 21 league starts from midfield but he got injured in december, they wud hav won the league imo if he hadnt got injured, poyet wud hav won player of season also.
got injured against west ham just when he looked like he was getting into his stride, such a shame his career was ended as a result of that injury. overall a real shame the blues didn't go all the way that year.
Didnt chels win a super cup v real madrid at the begining of the season. Plus finished 3 for there first ever champion league spot. Not to bad a season realy..
15:33 Flo had only been on the field 5 mins scores 2....later that season fellow Norwegian Solskjaer came on with about 14mins to go and scores 4 vs Forest lol

So many people think we were only any good after Roman bought us, but there we were at the top of the league in 1998. What a season this was.

@@FootkerSnooball Never mind, dear
I just laugh when people say Chelsea were nothing without Abramovic,I remember having the Autoglass kit back then
The current chelsea side wouldn't even lift a candle to the 1998/99 Chelsea side.
Duberry was such a liability. £6,000,000 for him from Leeds is still the deal of the century.
That og against Leicester why did vialli bring that donkey on
Great memories, I do feel had we not lost poyet for 3 months and Flo for two months with injuries we would of won the league that year, excellent team back then
Someone laughed at me when I mentioned Poyet as one of Chelseas great midfielders
@@JamesG89poyet based on the highlights ive watched looked good but i wouldnt put him as one our greatest midfielders
@@Theraiman616 he was unbelievable mate, the longevity killed him due to a few injuries but that 97-99 period he was unreal
Before Lampard, there was Poyet.
This is so nostalgic. Thank you so much for uploading it.
My first year as a Chelsea fan, I was 12 years old. Never looked back. Favourite players were Wise and Zola. Should've won the league that year.
I remember my first trip to the bridge this season... Watching the 1-0 win against Leeds that secured 3rd place!
Injuries and a lot poor ref calls cost us a possible prem title this year.
And Brian Laudrup leaving?

i still remember when Casiraghi were dashed by serious injury !!! devastated us and Chelsea
Why? He was complete rubbish
@@brianlaudrupchannellike your mom
I had this on VHS as a kid, I watched it so often than it ruined the tape.
Marvel O Varvel what did you think of the riddle that is Laudrup?
I think Phil Babbs missus would have been worried. Ouch.
THIS IS THE YEAR THAT IJOINED CHELSEA AS AFAN 1998 /1999
Thank you and you're most wellcome
Definitely should of won the league that year, I think Luca's naivety hindered us. But great memories.What ever happened to Mikael Forssell? KTBFFH!
In what way did it ruin Chelsea.
Should have beaten United comfortably at home if Flo hadn't missed chance after chance. And as for that Leicester game?

Viva el chelsea fiel seguidor desde boliviaaa
When Dennis wise said I lost a lot of money but back tracked on it was funny
we would be the EPL champion
Man I had that home shirt as a kid and used to idolise Zola so much! Also when I was at school I saw Vialli and Flo at an airport, memories...
3rd for Chelsea in 98/99 with 75 points. From Joe. X
We should have won the league that season IMO
1:40 what a goal!
Viera no class fouls Cassiragi in the box clearly then starts shouting at him for diving when it was a clear penalty. What a player Patrick Viera
12:32 the fantastic Alan Parry on commentary, always thought he had a soft spot for Chelsea. Shame hes no longer on comms
I think Chelsea would have won the league had Poyet not got injured in december

yes and they would have done with without Abramovich
