Mr. Snrub Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Not that long since Chelsea's star striker was Paul Furlong. They just won the jackpot basically. Or Vialli and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Look, it's very simple and has been said repeatedly every time people try this revisionist nonsense. Chelsea were doing well just before Abramovich but were living way beyond their means and were about to go bust. Ken Bates got bailed out by Abramovich, whereupon they spent a spectacularly obscene amount of money which cemented them at the top. Without the insane amount of money he spent they would be either bust or mediocre...not least because that money would have gone to another club. Maybe even Newcastle. tl;dr - I'm bitter because Roman was talked out of buying Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Not much between Chelsea and Man City historically before the money came in. Plus Chelsea's money era stretches back into the 90s when they spent more than they could afford under Bates bringing in big names. Chelsea just got lucky that Abramovich swooped in when the shit was hitting the fan, unlike for e.g. at Leeds. The virtue of being in an affluent area home to billionaires rather than a working class northern town. I favour City over Chelsea because I see some parallels between them and Newcastle. Can't identify with Chelsea. Spend 5 minutes walking around Kensington and its a different world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Tickets-and-Travel/2014/October/City-v-CSKA-Moscow-exclusive-ticket-offer Bahahahaha. Having to offer buy one get one free tickets for their next home Champions League match because even against one of the best teams in Europe in Roma they had over 10k empty seats. They have the money and trophies recently but they'll never be a big club. Just an utter f***ing embarrassment. Least likes of Chelsea were winning trophies and playing CL footy before they had the money, and Liverpool have always been a proper club. This lot are just a bunch of charva lottery winners. Stop. City fans are having a hard time and they are really poor. I know you apparently have a good job, you are in no position to laugh at them. Worst post of the year in the next N-O awards wrapped up. Well done, whoever you are. Lighten up Pissi, I clearly wasn't serious ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the worst away trips as well, the one time I went there I paid 55 quid to sit down, no alcohol served to away fans whatsoever, smug as fuck fans, etc. Can't stand them.

Jack Flash Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 We drew a fair few 40k attendances in 2002/3 for our CL run while regularly getting 50k+ in the league. Hardly worth getting worked up about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea fans were the type to wave money at northern fans and chant about being on the dole during the 80s. Either that or they were members of the NF.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Their players were fucking horrible in the '90s like. Almost every single one of them was an absolute fucking cunt. Even the ones that weren't were fucking irritating. Wise Poyet Stein Spencer Petrescu Burley Hughes Gullit Morris Di Matteo Le Boeuf Babayaro Le Saux Flo All either absolute cunts are just irritating as fuck players.

Drogba signed in '04 and left in '12. Is Maths no longer on the curriculum in Norn Iron? Drogba was never an out-and-out goalcorer anyway. More a CF that could do everything. Stupid bringing him up. But yes, he was a far, far better player than JFH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
