craig 5,195 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 He has had numerous serious injuries throughout his career. Not sure that makes him injury prone or just a full-blooded, combatative midfielder - I would take the latter and hope he isn't the former. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Don't be so fucking stupid, every club has real history. You stated that it could be argued that they were just below the top three or four in Britain, something which is patently nonsense. Enough of the personal derogatory remarks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I don't think it's a tricky question, it goes without saying. Otherwise you could say that Linfield's trophy haul is better than Man Utd's. By the way, I had not realised how close Chelsea are creeping up to Arsenal! No history they say? In 10-15 years Chelsea will have won more than Arsenal. Away ye go man. They are 14 trophies behind Arsenal at the moment. You are placing an awful lot of confidence on Chelsea having a Net trophy gain on Arsenal of 1 per season over the next 15 years. Over-confidence in the extreme, pretty much the same as you suggested Chelsea were pretty much a stick-on for the Champions League last year, only to bomb and fail - and only then came the "the English teams are shite compared to the Spanish teams". Arsenal may not be as strong as Chelsea but they are only a couple of players away from mounting a proper challenge. Arsenal also actually try to win the Carling which may hurt your assertion that in 10-15 years Chelsea will have more trophies than Arsenal :fish: Either way, Chelsea still don't have, nor will they ever have, the history of Arsenal. Are Arsenal not the only team to have never been relegated from the top flight in England ? Buying trophies doesn't buy you history either BTW.
