Didn't hear you.

How many european cups did you say?

Did not hear you. how poor is your team?,financially and position in the table wise, whoever you follow!. Anyone can harp on about the past but how confident are you that your team is in such as good position to dominate the future as Chelsea?

Grayling

How many did you say

G

Gold Coaster

Sorry mate, I did not hear you?, what did you say............must get this broadband sorted out. Did you say something about your team were very poor and could not afford any players and had a terrible manager that has won you no cups at all and you will end up mid table at best and at least 35 point behind Champions Chelsea?...................or did you say well done for your success mate and have a nice evening and lets drink to that.

Grayling

I'll take it that the answer is none then

Yep its 9.45pm here chap............I heard that this time, did you say your team is short of cups???????. Perhaps you should look to the future and not be rosy about the past which no one remembers. Put it this way, if you asked any neutral football fans and non football fans in the world today which was the best team in the land and has the potential to dominate world football for many years to come they will all say Chelsea. But if you asked them who won the F.A cup or European cup in 1934 they would struggle to mention your team who ever they are?. You don't want to tell me who your team are do you ,in case I laugh too much. Anyway. going for a swim now cos it is pretty barmy here and don't want you to go out on a loosing post so have a lovely evening sir and lets raise a glass to the Champions of the English Premier League for the second season in a row and probably the Champs of Europe to boot. tootle pip old chap.

nice to have dreams

Several English clubs have already done that.

Can't find any record of Chelsea winning it though

Oh that is better, I am on my wireless laptop in the pool and hope that I can hear you better now . Yes......yes...... receiving you now loud and clear!. Modern technology ifs fantastic isn't it. Ow thanks for the congratulations you are not as bitter as I thought and welcome your praise of Chelsea. Your team is fantastic too and wish you all the luck next season and hope you do reach the top half of the table next year. good onya mate. So nice to not have a person attacking the team you have followed all your life and have some rationality and praise for something that is quite clearly very good at the moment. Oh no................I have just fell of my air bed...................glug,glug,glug. :scared:

Grayling

Only the BEST teams in Europe win the european championship.

Sweet dreams

the reality of it is that most people will look upon chavski as the cheap whore of football, passed from punter to punter!
I for one don`t begrudge chavski their success why should I? we`ve been laughing at em for years!
one point I do disagree with you on is the 99% of fans bit,we have been a successful club and hopefully this will continue in the future but we have also kept our integrity and tradition! history is one thing money cannot buy.

UAFA cup 3/4 seasons ago AND then went on to win the cup played for by winners of the 2 European cups ....Super cup or something like that

Weekend prediction - Nufc 1 - Cheltenham 1

Souness sacked and Cheltenham get 500K in the replay

Obviously the good point is shearers 201st record goal!

The quicker that FA/UEFA/FIFA do something to stop the West London Money Launderers ruining football (plus anyone else for that matter) the better.

My boss in Oz is a Chelscum "supporter" before that it was the Woolwich nomads and before that it was Manure, probably the Hubcap thieves next year.

Just ask most Chelscum supporters where were you when you were shit and it soon shuts them up.

I am 51 years old and I was born a Chelsea Fan, I come from a long line of Chelsea Fans. I have never waivered and crossed the line to support another team even when some seasons we were utter crap, thats 'cos I'm a real fan. I may not be a "local fan" anymore but why should this make a difference I can still follow them and cheer them on in the good tradition of a real fan.
There will always be the "jump on the band wagon" fans and the "I'm just here for a good old punch-up" type fans but there are also a lot of die hard, here for the long haul type fans like me. So whether we are at the top and have all the money and players we need or are going through hard times some of us will always support our teams.............thats me Blue all the way through...........Chelsea, the best!

Said it before and I'll say it again gentlemen. They're a freak show. Nothing more - nothing less.

Most grass root fans around the U.K. pubs on match day just laugh them off.

This isn't the great Liverpool of the 70's and 80's, or Man Utd of the 90's. They've been engineered by people that don't have Chelsea in their blood, like the boards at most other Premiership clubs. Just a man's hobby with dirty money.

When I sat in the North Bank in December and watched them out class us 0-2, you realise what a class outfit they are. But when their CEO announces a robust business plan to break even in five years, everything falls into perspective.

In essence, the success you're seeing on the pitch just isn't sustainable with the pantomime going on behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge.
