Product Description

Cup Kings! The Official Chelsea Football Club Season Review 2006/7 The 2006/7 season has proved a rollercoaster ride for Chelsea FC and its fans but once again the club emerged triumphant with two more cups to add to the trophy cabinet and many more wonderful memories to savour. For the majority of the season, José Mourinho and his players battled to achieve what no other team had ever managed in the history of English football - the quadruple! Eventually injuries, which had dogged the side throughout the campaign, and fatigue caught up with them and they had to settle for a cracking double with victory in the Carling Cup and FA Cup. The Blues defeated their arch-rivals Manchester United with a dramatic victory in the first FA Cup at the new Wembley Stadium to complete José Mourinho s collection of medals in English football. In a season of adversity there were heroes throughout the team from Petr Cech, who recovered from a serious head injury to produce a series of stunning displays, to Michael Essien, who played in almost every position on the pitch, and Didier Drogba, who became the first Chelsea player to score over 30 goals in a season since Kerry Dixon. This programme is packed with the action, drama and goals from this incredible 2006/07 season. Re-live all these wonderful moments time and time again. Fantastic DVD extras include the Top Ten Saves, Top Ten Goals and interviews with José Mourinho, Michael Essien and Didier Drogba. ALSO INCLUDES THE FULL FA CUP FINAL ON A BONUS DISC!

I don't ask much of a season review. All I want to do is to start at the beginning of the season and follow events chronologically, getting to see every single goal and the occasional save or near miss. I also prefer to see at least one replay of each goal (I know I can rewind but how about showing another angle). A useful added feature would be to flash up the team sheet before each game.

This DVD fails on three major counts:

* It splits up the competitions instead of going chronologically, this despite referring to the other competitions in the commentary and possibly in the grainy flashback sequences if it were possible to make out what they were. This just makes it a mess.

* For some games, including the Carling Cup Final, it uses very grainy video, abysmal camera angles and pointless music and so totally fails to give any useful highlights of those games.

* It completely leaves out the entire FA Cup run apart from the final on the 'bonus disc' without any explanation.

These points, and the last one in particular, mean it is not a 'season review' in my book.

Other complaints:

* It is in 4:3 instead of the more obvious 16:9. I can't believe the vast majority of the matches were not recorded in widescreen.

* Many of the goals don't get so much as one replay so you blink and you've missed it.

* The DVD is interspersed with lots of pathetic compilations sequences featuring unwatchable video, annoying music and unhelpful camera angles, and for some games they seem to do the same with clips from previous seasons.

I understand the manufacturers of the DVD claim there wasn't enough room for the 'road to Wembley' on the DVD. Sure there was if they got rid of all the unnecessary compilation clips. I haven't viewed the extras like the greatest saves of the season but I am sure they could be usefully chopped. After all if they are so good they should all be in the highlights already and I can form my own opinion of what the best saves and goals were thanks all the same. And of course there would be plenty of room on the 'bonus DVD' anyway if they stopped the childish pretence they are giving something for nothing when the DVD is a premium price anyway.

I think the very least the club should do is issue an apology for the abysmal quality of this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Embarassingly Poor Quality 20 Jun 2007
How can Chelsea, with all this money, not afford to put together a decent end of season DVD. Firstly why, oh why, cant the matches have commentary from SKY,BBC, or even ITV instead of the bunch of clowns that has been on all three of the last Chelsea DVDs . Secondly, The music they attempt, note attempt, to use for dramatic effect is so bad that I can only assume they were on acid at the time, either that or Chelsea has put someone who is tone deaf in charge of the music. Thirdly, the editing, If you buy the dvd you want to see the goals from the standard angles with half decent commentary and NOT ACCOMPANIED BY SOME OF THE WORST EDITING AND MUSIC KNOWN TO MANKIND!!!. Plus where are the FA CUP matches?? they are not on here, just a whole seperate disk for the final where you have to fast forward a hundred and twenty six minutes to see the goal. Every single thing about this disk is wrong. Its not exactly rocket science to put together a DVD on a football season, but somewhow they have managed to mess even this up. What about menus where you can go to the exact match you want, My advice to the makers of this is watch Arsenals DVD and copy the format. Even if you are a Chelsea fan please do not buy this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 23 Jun 2007
It was a great season in so many ways but this DVD does little to bring it back to life. It's made in 4 by 3 (colour!); hasn't everyone moved to widescreen? The sound is very poor. There is a commentator shrieking non stop from start to finish and the recording levels are set far too high. The editing is dreadful and rather than follow events chronologically we have to view each campaign in isolation. The interview snatches add nothing and I doubt whether anyone would ever want to watch the whole of the FA Cup final again.

It's time Chelsea took a fresh approach to the season's highlights DVD.
