FA cup wins in 97 and 2000, runner up in 02. Wish we had a little bit of that averageness. Cheers Stuk, way to do the Chelsea troll's job for him Edited by Seth (14 Feb 2013 11.16pm)

Living in West London I know many Chelsea fans. Some are like this guy, love to give it large to smaller clubs like a playground bully and go on about how great they are and how they're better than everyone else (when they clearly aren't even at the moment). Some are JCL's who just support them because they've won stuff recently, but quite a few (who I call their "real" fans) are desperately worried about what will happen when Abramovic gets bored and moves on. They feel their club could well implode without the Russian mafia cash and could go the way of Leeds or Portsmouth when it all becomes unsustainable. Things tend to go in circles in football, especially when a castle is built on sand. Make the most of the gloating now chelski, because it's likely all you'll have in a few years are your memories.

I don't really see the point of this thread, I don't remember our chairman bragging about our youth team beating Chelsea's youth team last season but I'll take the OPs word for it. As much as we love our academy here I don't think even die hard Palace fans would go on Chelsea boards bragging about winning a youth game. Either way I genuinly believe our academy is better than Chelsea's. More importantly we give our young players a chance, other than Bertrand recently Chelsea cannot say the same Actaully he did.

But do you though? Can you show us some data about this? Most people will believe you when you say Chelsea's turnover has increased, but that doesn't always mean a profit. Baring in mind how high your wage bill is I simply don't believe it. Also chairmen don't last forever. I doubt Abramovich will leave in the short term, but like all club owners (even ours) they eventually move on. Chelsea may have grown leaps and bounds in the last decade but that is no guarantee that your next owner will be so financially generous.
