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
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.
Crikey, I just remembered how different the Bridge was! Memories made of watching Wisey, Zola & co. And still the greatest team in London! #Carrrrrrefreeeeeeeee
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..

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.
I just laugh when people say Chelsea were nothing without Abramovic,I remember having the Autoglass kit back then
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
This is so nostalgic. Thank you so much for uploading it.

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
I remember my first trip to the bridge this season... Watching the 1-0 win against Leeds that secured 3rd place!
Haha loving the low budget commentary for West Ham away game. "where's the stretcher?!"
Lee Hendrie scores for Villa... “and here’s Hendrie...oh damn”
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.
Injuries and a lot poor ref calls cost us a possible prem title this year.
And Brian Laudrup leaving?

My first full season as a supporter. Havent looked back since. Why should I?!
You’re a Real Chelsea fan not those glory hunters
Before Lampard, there was Poyet.
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?

That game against Leicester still haunts me damn duberry
1:40 what a goal!
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...
The current chelsea side wouldn't even lift a candle to the 1998/99 Chelsea side.
THIS IS THE YEAR THAT IJOINED CHELSEA AS AFAN 1998 /1999
Thank you and you're most wellcome
Great upload thanks alot!
3rd for Chelsea in 98/99 with 75 points. From Joe. X
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?
Viva el chelsea fiel seguidor desde boliviaaa
When Dennis wise said I lost a lot of money but back tracked on it was funny
i still remember when Casiraghi were dashed by serious injury !!! devastated us and Chelsea
Why? He was complete rubbish
@@brianlaudrupchannellike your mom
we would be the EPL champion
We should have won the league that season IMO
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
I think Chelsea would have won the league had Poyet not got injured in december
+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.
Casiraghi too, big blow

yes and they would have done with without Abramovich
Sam Robinson Laudrup aswell big blow?
12:32 the fantastic Alan Parry on commentary, always thought he had a soft spot for Chelsea. Shame hes no longer on comms
I thought Dennis Wise was Rod out of Football Factory on the thumbnail
Please upload more!
There rotation system was why they didn't win it
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..
