Hmm... lets see... 5 substitutions (automatically 2:30 added time), Luis Garcia rolling around on the ground, and not one but TWO pitch invasions...
Anyone that says 6 minutes was excessive is full of shi-ite.

I think the squad was rather a lot more than 150Million!
Total spend by Rom is over a BILLION dollars / half a billion quid including buying the club etc
Starting XI transfer fees were about $130m v $104m for MU this year. Still not as expensive as Real. In fact, Chelsea has only 1 of the top 20 transfer fees (Drogba.... probably a waste!)
Total spending is 140 million pounds to buy the club and assumed debt, 200 million on transfer fees, and 88 million operating loss last year.
That crap the Sun printed about a billion dollars doesn't take into account that salaries and other costs are made up for by a little thing called REVENUE. Chelsea was one of the top-ten earning clubs in Europe last year.
Also, count the fact that the club is valued at 400 million pounds now vs. 60 million it was purchased for, and you can see where some of that investment is being recouped through equity. When you guys learn business, then maybe you'll have something to say.
And I'd still like to remind you all:
