so he won a major european trophy right after a trophy laden year, one ofthe hardest thiings to do. remind me, how many times have Chelsea won the europa cup?

 

[MikeH72]

remind me, how many times have Chelsea won the europa cup?

Well they’re never in it?

 

[Kev50]

Well they’re never in it?

no, they drop into to it half the time

 

[MikeH72]

no, they drop into to it half the time

Well they don’t do they? The last time they were in it they won it, then the last time before that was Benitez’s season when they won it again. If they drop into it this season I would expect them to go straight to favourites to win it again.

A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying:

"You are mad; you are not like us".

well Ferguson is of the Allardyce generation, but he also won one or two pots along the way.
you will not find any fan from any club he has ever managed comparing him to Allardyce, not one.

Not really a like for like comparison, Ferguson would probably struggle in this league.

What was Allardyce winning while Ferguson was stacking Silverware?

 

[PaddyJames]

We do not have any reason to be optimistic.

With fans like you on our side I can see why

That doesn’t make any sense?

 

[PaddyJames]

theyve played in it five times in the last twenty, so yes not half the time but they've been there a fair few times.

 

[MikeH72]

It does. Negative nelly.

Being optimistic isn’t going to make our players any good or our financial troubles go away.

nothing, he's never won a thing. Which is why it's nonsense to compare him with Benitez
