The only thing Chelsea have less than Arsenal is the stadium, they could probably fill the same. But, without doubt they’ve won europes biggest trophies and Arsenal haven’t. 

Hmmmmmm .......  I hate to say this but google Arsenal and Chelsea histories.  Yes you are right actually but also wrong.

They’ve won two champions league, arsenal won none. Probably got more global supporters too.

 

 

 

It’s a pointless argument but are forest bigger than us? 
 

Arsenal and Tottenham are the biggest teams / clubs in London .

 

West Ham and Chelsea next.

 

then Fulham, QPR , Charlton and Millwall

Brentford currently well run and performing but historically below the above

Until Arteta came along anyway.

And the fact everyone conveniently glosses over club legend George Graham taking loads of bungs.

Arsenal definitely Londons biggest club. There's a good case for them being England's 2nd club as well. Liverpool didn't really start doing things until the 60s and in fact Everton were probably Merseysides biggest club until that point. I'm sure when we played Liverpool in the 1974 Cup Final we were level with them on trophies won. Not even sure if we didn't have 1 more.

 

They probably have overtaken Arsenal now, and I also think Chelsea have overtaken Spurs, Man City have overtaken Villa/Everton/us in the last 20 years as well.

I think they can safely play a strong side. Those CL ties are gimmes and manure aren’t up to much.

You need to rewatch the games from the wenger era. Gentlemanly my arse. Fabregas, Robin Van Persie, Overmars et al would like a word.

 

Not that Wenger ever saw it.

Yep, Sir Bobby called them out during that era. The 3-1 win there empahsised that. Over a century they've been a grand club overall, I'd argue.

Nah. They used to be, but in the early to mid 2000’s, something clicked and they became whingy, moaning, entitled brats with a lack of self awerness.

Nearly 30 years on and I'm still triggered to hate Arsenal by Lee fucking Dixon bahaha

 

They are unquestionably Londons biggest club historically aren't they? Like nearly 50 league titles to less than 10 for any other London club.

 

Wenger years were more magic than any of Chelsea's imo. Although the latter had some cracking teams when they bought the league.
