    Have you noticed how Chavs and Goonz have moved the goalposts regarding the FA Cup in recent years?

    Well, I know it's 57 years since you won one so there's proof enough. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    I'd say two titles in three years is pretty consistent, wouldn't you?

    Not necessarily, because in the interim years you finish nowhere.

    Surely it's better than 'consistently' finishing 2nd or 3rd.

    It’s an invalid comparison anyway, mate. Arsenal are a far bigger club than us

    Last publisher figures show turnover as:

    Arsenal £354 mill
    Chelsea £335 mill
    Spurs £210 mill

    So, they’re way ahead of us in financial terms.

    So you'd rather do an Arsenal than win a title every few years? <laugh>

    Arguably, but I’d rather see consistency. It seems to be a sign of the constant internal turmoil at Chelsea that they see-saw like this.

    As the figures I’ve posted show, we’re up against it financially. We simply cannot compete with the money thrown around by the moneybags clubs.

    Our record buy is £40 mill. You paid more than that for Bakajoko, ffs!

    i don't even think it's arguably.

    Obviously it's not good to finish far down the table and being inconsistent. Every year you should be striving for number 1 status but to argue that going 1st 10th 1st 5th is on par with finishing 3rd/4th every year is the sort of WUM material saved for HIAG

    Well you should be better run and develop your commercial turnover based on your wonderful Pochball

    Why not scour the rest of the world in your desperation to score a point,

    Or maybe we could just stick to the Prem?

    we paid the same you mean.

    The debate isn't about you not having the financial power and achieving well on your budget. It was about you thinking it's better to be 3rd/4th every year over winning a title and falling down for a bit
