Wow didn't know that the first win for Sp**s at Stamford bridge since 1990! 28 years ffs
LlorisHe reminds me of Adam Crafton, the Daily Mail journalist, who said not a single Arsenal player would get in the Sp**s side . . . just before we beat them 2-0
Football's very simple for some people.
You have very cute retorts/replies without saying much. It's a very clever tactic, well played.It's very simple for simpletons mate.
Chelsea vs Sp**s today was such a nothing game, we all know Chelsea are absolute dogshit this year and the players have basically stopped trying (Barca home leg aside). Let's see Sp**s truly win a big game when the pressure is ACTUALLY on, not these pointless games that mean nothing. 2015 League Cup final, 2016 battle of the Bridge, 2017 FA Cup semi-final, 2018 CL last 16 vs Juventus. Those are ACTUAL important games with a lot riding on them, mainly actual trophies and not just the pride that comes with beating Arsenal or finally winning at the Bridge or "putting the pressure on". 2 of those 4 could have very well resulted in them winning a trophy, the other two would have kept their hopes seriously alive and they failed in all 4 attempts in the last 4 seasons. In the past 4 seasons they managed to finish 5th, lose a title race to Leicester and then end up 3rd in a two horse race, be the "best of the rest" in any easily title win vs Chelsea and in this season finish 4th in all likelihood.
I think Poch has done a good job in terms of making them a top 4 side but let's not pretend that this is a side that can go that extra mile and has a different mentality because at the end of the day they're still 10 years without a trophy, 27 years since they won a trophy that wasn't the league cup and 67 years since they won the league. When Poch manages to changed these facts and end their barren run then maybe we can talk about this being a great Sp**s side. Until then they're a side that have slightly overachieved in the league with not much to show for it.
They're 6th in squad cost, so they're 3 or 3 places above where they should be. Which is good.Chelsea vs Sp**s today was such a nothing game, we all know Chelsea are absolute dogshit this year and the players have basically stopped trying (Barca home leg aside).

If we had to go to the bridge in a massive game for top 4 we’d be brushed aside easily.
Sorry but this isn't true. There are a lot of us who until very recently praised Wenger! Mostly for those top four finishes on basic budgets. People wanting Wenger gone has nothing to do with the austerity years. It has to do with the now and the fact that we're being left behind by the rest of the league in many ways.Never got the recognition he deserved for that. Just fans mocking his top 4 finishes and calling it a trophy drought.
