    All you need to worry about is maintaining your consistency of never troubling the engravers since this league's creation <laugh>

    Who, Leicester?


    Bit harsh mate, your keeper cost more than their sole title winning squad. But they did pay a fine after breaking FFP before they were promoted to the PL.

    Cheating to make it to the big league after relegation isn’t something City had to do.

    Indeed it does - economically way cheaper than contesting - and we had much more important things to spend our cash on ... winning a Premier League .... you know what I mean? ... oh wait ... you don't <laugh>

    unsure why you linked that comment to Leicester. Maybe it’s the shroud of guilt attached to a club that’s a history of cheating

    Leicester got a bit of the way in, then fell out.

    There aren't many other clubs to latch on to in Hertfordshire. The outer London home county areas don't have a great deal of alternative clubs, so people will look to London and get into the new kid on the block, which was Chelsea.

    If you think it's just the same in the NW, by way of population and by lack of alternative league clubs then, soz, you're completely wrong.

    And also, are Chelsea now a global mega club?

    No, they're not. They've found a level and plateaued.

    I think you underestimate supporters actual connection to their actual club, both at home and in Europe/the World.

    City won't just take those fans away. They'll certainly pick up new ones, but I very much doubt their global appeal will be as rapid as you think.

    Not saying it's the same ... just saying don't underestimate the power of success and the fickle nature of human beings ... there is a whole generation of none north-west Liverpool fans that latched on to the club during the 'glory years' and who now have offspring supporting them because of the 'Dad' legacy ... the missus Uncle and his now 40 year old son from Cwm Twrch, a mile from up the road from where I currently am, being prime examples <laugh>

    Chelsea aren't the most successful team in London mate. That's Arsenal.

    The only thing Chelsea have on us is a CL trophy. But in terms of Honours won, head to head match ups Arsenal are far more successful.

    Growing up in London in the 80's Chelsea were a two bit yo-yo club, with a **** hole stadium and a ****er fan base. They were pretty much on a par with Millwall.
