Yeah, with regards to the club receiving it's criticism, it hasn't really seemed practical to argue in defense of it because there will always be people out there who will continue to make disparaging remarks about the club, no matter what argument someone tries to put forth. KingMessi formulated a great argument against Zurich a few months ago -- even after that we were still seeing a lot of the anti-Chelsea platitudes. Oh well... lol.
As Iso said, we'll write history, not remember it. I hope we'll continue to win, get a better stadium, garner a greater fanbase so we can become more self-sustainable in the future.
I agree with you wholeheartedly with regards to work ethic - it's often been the case with our players.
