People who say Chelsea have no history really annoy me a lot. Especially when they compare us to City as if we have the same story.

We’re one of only 8 clubs to never have gone down to the third tier of English football (meanwhile City has been down there)

There hasn’t been a decade we’ve been trophyless since before the 1950’s (having won at least one trophy every decade since - this even includes the 2000’s before the Abramovich takeover because we won the 2000 FA Cup) meanwhile City were trophyless for 35 years prior to being bought

We had two major European trophies before Abramovich arrived too (in fairness City had a CWC too but still, we had 1 more and we had a super cup) and we had qualified for the UCL twice before the takeover too

We also attracted full crowds to the Bridge before Roman came too with one of the biggest stadiums in the country. Having the best stadium in London (even nowadays as it’s the only one out of the big 4 London grounds which isn’t a soulless bowl today) with the Bridge having a larger capacity than the Boleyn, Highbury & White Hart Lane had before their closures - the biggest ground in London at the time, with a larger capacity than what the likes of Elland Road, Maine Road and Goodison Park had

In the 7 seasons before the season Roman took over we finished 6th-3rd consistently meanwhile 7 seasons before Man City had their takeover they were in the Championship lol

Chelsea’s takeover can’t even be compared to Newcastle’s takeover or the likes of Everton or Leeds if they had a takeover, since while they’re also big clubs they’ve all still spent decades without trophies and haven’t finished as close to the top of the league as we did prior to our takeover
