They are of course about to play in a Champions League quarter final against Real Madrid, and we respectively are excited about playing a team from the fourth division in the FA Cup. They also won the competition in 2021, whereas the biggest competition we’ve ever won was the England Supercup in the 1910/11 season.

Not meaning to piss on your cornflakes but a sense of perspective is needed here…
Don’t you just like a Chelsea fan?
My point was them getting another poor home result against a team of donkeys. I’m sure their fans are over the moon and relishing a hammering from Madrid.

I will never forget where I was and what I was doing when our win against Plymouth was announced as getting us promoted in 2001. I remember thinking how supporters of the "big" clubs could ever get the level of joy I was experiencing following our promotion from the 4th tier, after everything we had been through. Everything is relative, supporting teams like Chelsea is easy.

PS I still love Micky Adams!
I had some patronising Man Utd fan telling me in supercilious tones that 'it was good to see you small clubs doing well' the other day. I told him that he may have seen glory days of winning things, and 'disaster' to him may be not winning something that year - but I had Hereford and everything that led up to it, and that I pitied him because that was a far more important and meaningful experience than anything he and his club had ever, or would ever go through.

I e had similar discussions with people who can't understand that for clubs like ours or any club for that matter it's not just about trophies and not winning the league regularly isn't an issue

You can see how uncomfortable he is. Defensive body language, Folded arms, rubbing his nose. He knows he’s full of shit.
He's had a rough ride for sure. At one stage I was feeling a tad sorry for him but the recent video clips show he has really sold his soul (which fits in fine at a club like Chelsea). Real will beat them easily and then I can't see their league form picking up thereafter. Would love to finish above them just to rub it in further.

My Chelsea STH friend said that they battered Everton and just lack a striker (sounds familiar). He's also been saying all season that Koulibali is a yard too slow, as shown by the equaliser yesterday.

I was at the game that was a good day, I drove that day and remember a convoy of Albion fans hooting all the way out of Plymouth, good times.

And this is why I was saying ‘of course we’ve won things’ when people subscribe to the plastic ‘never won anything’ line. That title win means as much, probably more, to Liverpool ‘fans’ or Man City winning the prem. it’s relative and it’s golden and it’s us winning a very important trophy in our history!

Sticker in the north apparently… Swansman will be out to tell everyone how childish it is and he would never wank off dogs unless they were a Crufts competitive pedigree etc etc
No, no. Not childish at all. Very mature and clever stuff. A fine example of how British wit still manages to entertain dozens of people all over the world.
