Chelsea Greyhounds v Scousers

[User removed 4]

With no axe to grind whatsoever...Spurs are a bigger club than Chelsea. It takes more than a couple of bought titles to have credibility. It always makes me laugh listening to Kenyon with his plans for world domination - as if that's how football history is created, with a marketing tour of Korea.

When Abramovich goes, as he surely will soon, Chelsea will descend back into the wannabe club they always were.

no axe to grind my arse, your post by its very anti chelsea tone disproves it.

Truth hurts.

Like them, despise them, or care neither way, trying deny that Chelsea are a 'big club' is pretty ridiculous.

Truth hurts.

as im sure you would know in the sea of mediocrity that is a life spent supporting spurs.

Is there a Chelsea messageboard? With Chelsea fans discussing Chelsea matches as well as the relative size of Chelsea the club compared to other London clubs? Do they have such a thing?

I think you may be in denial about what ordinary football fans think of Chelsea. You're temporarily a big club. That is all.

What makes me laugh is that people say that Chelsea bought the title.
Yet they'd be loving it if there team was taken over by another Roman Abramovic, and would NO WAY turn it down happening to their club.

What exactly makes a club a 'big club'?

Champions League in the current decade. There are only four.

The same could be said about the Albion when we won the 3rd division under Adams, He was given one of the biggest in the division and went on to claim top spot so in effect we bought the title as well. Thats how football goes.

 

[pork pie]

Remind me, why exactly are Spurs being mentioned at all in a thread about a Chelsea and Liverpool Champions League tie?

Because the twat Paxo stuffing cannot get anyone to talk to him on a Yids' board!

Leeds and Newcastle would count as 'big clubs' under this criteria, wouldn't they?

Chelsea have been a "big club" for as long as I remember. They dipped down to the Second Division at one point - but so did the cheating Yids who stitched us up with Southampton and made us wait another year to go up, and Manure.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Don't worry, this isn't a Tottenham thing. I don't think you're as big as Villa or Everton either. Maybe about the same as Newcastle. As I say, you can't in all honesty judge Chelsea on solely the Abramovich era. It distorts everything.

I bet no Brighton fan was moaning about that...

Anyone remember the 'Big Five' in the 1980s?

Arsenal
Everton
Liverpool
Man Utd
Tottenham

If consistently high league positions are the main criteria for 'big club' status, it would be very hard to argue that Chelsea are not a big club now

Only if you are looking for the full half-hour argument.

Ha - you forgot "the Team of the 80s!"

Cue AJ's spunk monkey!

are you quite sure that " barrel of fun" is the right username for you ?

HIGNFY was infinitely more entertaining than watching two teams that I do not support. I was only started watching it as my flatmate is a 'plastic' Liverpool fan and he disappeared for work just before 'pool got their second.

I am not the remotest bit upset that I missed a further six goals and perhaps the game of the year. The whole Champions League saga is eating away at football, an oligopoly making the rich (same teams each time) richer.

My interest in top flight/euro football waned a long time ago. If that makes me Barrel of Glum, then so be it.

How could I forget! What was actually said of the 'team of the 80s'? - was it that they would be in for a period of domination in domestic football in the same way that Liverpool dominated the 1970s?
