NO HISTORY!

Spirit

"Of course we would. Wouldn't mind a cash injection of 800 million quid either, though."

800 mil ffs, you could rebuild the whole of the city with that sort of foldage.

We had to have the riches because we are from London, you know where our Queen lives.

That was not an invite to come and dirty our streets with your northern germs and illnesses, we had some geordies down last year, and have only just managed to get the stains out of the pavement

800mil indeed

No,I don't think it's a failure but I wouldn't include them in a list of your greatest accomplishments.

----------------------------------------------------------------

who said these were our greatest achievments?????
my point is we were winning things in the years leading up to the take over.
the point of the post is to rubbish claims that "Chelsea were nothing before Roman"

and i believe my article does just that.

so if those years are failures then how has the last decade been for Pool?

and shortly afterwards they won the League multiple times along with domestic cups

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We certainly won the League with the help of the Abramovich money but we were already winning domestic cups, European trophies and qualifying for the Champions League.

The Abramovich money was just the icing on the cake that allowed us to step up to the next level where we could finally win the title.

"the icing on the cake"

That's a hefty amount of icing.

Don't worry pal, we can afford it!

Indeed, interestingly City don't get this fake club stuff half as bad as we do n they hadn't won a trophy since the 60s before the Sheik arrived. Still puzzles me that.

N what's yet funnier is i can make an argument that says we have a real history that goes deeper than counting medals. e.g. CFC was the first footballing organsiation to be portrayed in cinema ..... NOW THAT'S HISTORY!!! N there's a few more where that came from.

It is indeed puzzling but I gave up giving a sheite what others think long ago.

What I have noticed with Chelsea FC is that we seem to attract jealousy and that goes back before Abramovich and the money.

Maybe because we´re a London club in the most fashionable part of London etc.

As I said before though I don´t care what other people think as most people are spoon-fed what to think by the media and they don´t know any better.

Chelsea won nothing before Roman came and dragged us out of mid table to go and win the league...

just look at how rubbish we were the years leading up to our takeover...

The first stat you show is in 1997. Not 'really' history is it?
History happened yesterday, an hour ago or a minute ago. 'Football history' to most, (apart from the OP) is success that spans more than one generation.

That aside, all the best tonight and hope you win

"most" being the operative word.

most also believe what they read in the papers!

history is indeed any period of time before now

anyway the article is for the people who say "you were nothing before Roman!" That is why it is recent history!
