Chelsea winning the Champions League at our ground? Hard, hard pass.
Imagine Sunderland winning it at St James'. Not sure that one's going to work...

Chelsea aren't really a proper rivalry though are they? I think there's only really Millwall vs West ham that's got that kinda edge down there.. Arsenal vs Tottenham has a good rivalry too.

I get what you mean though I just think the champions league final needs to be more glamorous than villa Park.

Cardiff would be suitable maybe?

Is that the first time the words glamourous and Cardiff have been used together? <laugh>

Chelsea see us as their main rivals. They're second to Arsenal in ours, but a lot of our fans really hate them for a variety of reasons.
The Arsenal one isn't particularly nasty and doesn't have any real overtones outside of football.
Chelsea (and West Ham) have a historic racism and antisemitism element to it.
Both had to warn their fans about Hitler songs and gas chamber noises when playing us, for example.

There's a little saying that a few people have used that sums it up quite well.
"I hate Arsenal because I'm Spurs. I hate Chelsea because I'm human."
It's attributed to Gandhi, but I'm pretty sure he didn't say it...

When we beat them in the League Cup Final in 2008 they had a Jewish owner and a Jewish manager.
Avram Grant's father, a holocaust survivor, attended that game and had to listen to them abusing his son.

I'm sure that a lot of modern Chelsea fans don't even know about that part of the club, but it was rife for a long time.
The Chelsea Headhunters used an SS Totenkopf as part of their symbolism. This is from 2018 in Budapest:

Leicester have a dreadful top 4 run in. They have to go to Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge and then host Tottenham.
Could Leicester bottle top 4 again?

It's possible ... but given that we've beaten all 3 already this season (and Citeh, Liverpool and Arsenal) we really should be going into the games with a lot of confidence <cheers>

But think of the possibilities...

Kick off moments away, both teams lined up on the field. Ref puts his whistle to his mouth and simultaneously Levy, stroking a cat, presses the button to retract the pitch, swallowing City and Chelsea's entire teams in a modern biblical epic.

We could exhume the remains whenever we next host an NFL game, which could be months.
