Valencia, the comeback kings!

Hope Benfica can hold out here.

Markovic you nob, just screwed up your final.

Pogba just busted open Garay. Accidentally booted him in the face when on the floor. That is nasty!!

How many more billions will Chelsea need to spend before they can compete with the real giants of European football like Atletico?

You say that as if there is any kind of permanency.

And we did compete with them. Chelsea DO compete with everyone.

But the aim is to WIN everything. Chelsea could do that but they clearly aren't there yet.

Everything changes year on year.

Obviously the ultimate fallacy in football is that if you spend money you will definitely achieve success. Man U just spent £70 million on a league title winning team and finished 7th.

Arsenal spent £42 million on a world class player and are no better off.

Spurs spent £100 million on drek.

Every one in England holds Chelsea to a higher standard to their own clubs because we have been successful.

Nobody said boo to a goose when AVB ****d us. We then won a European Cup with complete puddings and people even tried to belittle that.

Chelsea are a proper team. If we weren't - people wouldn't be so lemon.

Speaking of Valencia.



Prime Mendieta was a beast.

Yes benfica! Piss of Juve.

Sevilla got a late goal to take it on away goals.

How does a team like Athletico who have to sell there best players every year...

Have a better side/squad then Chelsea? who have spent billions..?

Didn't chelsea spend 30 odd million in just the January window?? I doubt Madrid even spent that in the summer window.. but i am not entirely sure

Getting a bit sick of Chelsea now.. they should have won the league from Liverpool or City.. but bottled it to be frank.. just as they did over both legs.

I am not sure what other teams who were in the champions league this year are meant to be better then Chelsea?? P$G (well u beat them so..), Barca? are in decline.. and Dortmund are the same.. Chelsea would be favoured to beat all of them.. only Madrid/Bayern would be strong favorties vs Chelsea

So lets do away with the underdog tag.. didn't we do well crap.. no you didn't..

Didn't win a trophy.. didn't convert a semi final into a final (Mourhino's 4th time in a row now).. so basically they made the CL again.. something people laugh at Arsenal all the time about

Getting to the CL is an end in itself for Arsenal.

Chelsea will always foster a hope of actually winning it.

And actually as much as I slag of Liverpool. They will have genuine hopes of competing for the trophy. You can't say the same about Arsenal - some people thought their 2 nil win in Munich was glorious failure last season. That tie was over in 20 minutes of a two legged game at The Emirates. They got dealt with.

So why was Manuel Neuer jumping on the ball like a frightened girl I wonder?

Arsenal were a poor refereeing performance away from winning it in 06

We have beaten the biggest sides in European football over the years and we didn't need to camp 11 men in our own 18 yard box to do it

I am just pissed off at them for gifting the title to United rivals...

I think usually this would have been considered a very average season for Chelsea.. but given last year (knocked out first round/14 points away from United) you have to say they did ok.. who knows a small miracle could happen with the league.

So you think Arsenal are a bum club basically who can never win it? i mean Porto won it a while back.. as have some other unfancied sides. Or you expect them not to be in the CL after next season?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Chelsea are a bum club at heart. I don't care how much they win. They know what they are. The fans have a bum mentality. They have a manager who thrives on a bum mentality. That's why he bottles it when he has to actually take the initiative.

Even Hazard was quoted as saying "Chelsea don't play football".

[E-Thug]

I think Arsenal can definitely win it one day, they just need a bit of luck. They've been shafted the past couple of seasons by stuff like suspensions, injuries, someone getting sent off etc. Not to mention having to play teams like Milan and Bayern very early on in the competition.

They've just been unlucky, it happens to the best of teams and worst of teams.
