Congrats to the Kings of London on winning the Champions League.
Arsenal will never.
Not even a debate now. Chelsea are the biggest team in London, no one comes near.Things can quickly change in football, so never say never.
But yes, right now, they are the top dogs of London.
Anyone read or hear Perry Groves comments on Talksport last night? I don't listen to the show but saw the footage on YouTube. He embarrassed himself - adamant that Arsenal are still bigger than Chelsea but could only back up his argument with "but but but history".
As a Utd fan, I hate it when our own supporter's harp on about a European Cup that none of us saw our players lift in 1968.
Yes, history does play a role in the status of a football club. But so do many other things and right now, Chelsea is a giant of a club. Two European Cups in 9 years with league titles and Europa League wins sprinkled in there too.
I wish our terrible owners cared as much about our on-field success.
Not just history though. The global fanbase is bigger also, as it should be. Current Chelsea is the product of financial doping, nowhere near anything organic.Anyone read or hear Perry Groves comments on Talksport last night?

I agree completely. But it is what it is. Man City and PSG have thrown loads of cash at trying to win the CL and still haven’t lifted it.Not just history though. The global fanbase is bigger also, as it should be. Current Chelsea is the product of financial doping, nowhere near anything organic.

Financial doped?
From transfer market.co.uk
Chelsea's net transfer spend over the last 5 years is 262.34 million. Arsenal's is 308.60 million.
In that time Chelsea have won the league and CL. Way better value for money than Arsenal.
Over the last 10 years Chelsea's net spend is 496.94 million.
Arsenal's is 472.51 million.
For an extra 22 million over ten years Chelsea have two league titles, 2 CL's and two Europa titles.
Massive difference in value for money.
Furthermore, over the last 10 years Chelsea are only just behind Benfica in terms of money in from transfers with over 900 million sales.
Last season's huge spend was a one off after a transfer ban and huge money coming in from Hazard and Morata transfers.
Can play this game all day long, but I'm not going to. Occam's razor on this will lead to the state Chelsea was in before Abramovich took over the club. Yes, that has been financial doping. Regarding the other stuff the cherry picking is obvious and can easily be rebutted, but I won't, because I know these things can lead to endless exchanges that don't achieve anything.Hi, Chelsea fan here.
