us/chelsea/history etc..

[badpiggy]

this might have to be moved to footie forum but...

on the basis of conversations/arguments i've had in the past few days which of these is the more correct view?

1. chelsea don't actually exist. they are a group of mercenary players under a mercenary manager who could actually be based anywhere in the world - premiership is the most profitable league in the world at the moment. their achievements mean nothing because of this and will be recorded as a blip in football history becuse they are not anchored to anything thet people can ever love for or feel afinity with or even really respect. unlike ourselves - and lots of other clubs to a lesser extent - where our history will always mark our achievements as what football is all about. eg champions league against milan - an unbelievably exciting football night. one of the gretaest in sporting history.


2. chelsea have unsavoury beginnings as a football power but that's professional sport - ultimately they're worthy of no less respect than us to the neutral.

Chelsea are here now, we have to deal with the now, their fans won't care one **** how they win the PL or the CL, just that they win it.

We have a glorious history, but we also need now to look forward.

We cannot just sit by and allow them free reign to continue winning everything in sight, we either raise our bar to their level or forever just moan about it.

I prefer we fight & compete on the field, where can hold our own.

Let battle commence, and eventually hope that their benefactor walks away, sooner rather than later.

was just looking at the all time prem points table and chelsea have overtaken us this season, think that says enough about the more recent period since sky invented football
