    • Won the last Super Cup
    • Won the last Champions League
    • 8 points clear at the top of our domestic league
    • One league defeat last season. Zero this season.
    • Undefeated at home in the league for 2.5 years
    • 7 players nominated for the Ballon d'Or

    What more do people want before we can say we're the best FFS?

    But you can claim to be world champions if you win it because that's the title it gives you. Just like European champions for winning the CL and English champions for the PL. In reality, the latter is the one we all want.

    I would use the term Champions League Winners. Although obviously it's ok to use variations, we all know what it refers to.

    If Chelsea had beaten us in the Super Cup, could they claim to be the best?

    Tbh, I'm getting bored with all this semantic nonsense - as you say, the PL is the one we all want. I don't see how anyone can, in all honesty, claim to be the best without it. The rest trail behind, with varying degrees of importance - the CL easily the best of those, the CWC way down the pecking order.
    In my opinion.

    Claiming to be the best or the champions of something isn't the same thing

    Well I certainly couldn't remember saying it. There it is though. <laugh>
    That's what I meant about checking morals I hadn't thought about it at all recently.
    Funny how time goes by. I look at what I said and I thank you for the reminder. :emoticon-0150-hands

    I will stand by what I said.

    I wasn't being a **** mate, just remember it clearly cos I remember telling you that Fifa won't care about one less Welshman cheering on anyone but England. Didn't think it'd be that easy to find though.

    I didn't think you were being a **** mate and I'm glad you reminded me. People shouldn't support this or the WC imo and I've had a read again this morning and some of the story's coming out of there especially in Doha are horrific.
    Wiki gives you a broad idea of what is going on and the estimates are over 4000 deaths of migrant workers for the WC to go ahead.

    "We are captured," Prasad told WDR. "Every day we nourish ourselves on water and bread. Without money we can't do anything else. Month on month our situation gets worse and worse. I'm not sure how much longer I can do it. I just want to go home. We can't even call our family in Nepal.
