Are Chelsea Officially London's "Biggest" Club Now??

Are Chelsea now becoming London's biggest club??

Catching up on Arsenal winning plenty of league titles and will continue to do so with Roman's money.

Winning plenty of Fa cups.

And now 1st London Champions League winners.

As long as Arsenal keep Wenger, who specialises recently in trophyless seasons (7 in row now), surely its only a matter of time before Chelsea overtake them??

That Champions League is a huge win for them.

Cantona07 · 19/05/12 - 23:28

Nope.

Belligerence · 19/05/12 - 23:28

Nada.

celesti · 19/05/12 - 23:28

Depends on whether 'big' has any real meaning, or is just something vague people make up to fuel arguments. They're currently its most successful club purely on cups most recently won, but then fell behind in the league.

linkinpark875 · 19/05/12 - 23:29

I think a new stadium has to be on the cards now though.

Have to keep up.

Tel69 · 19/05/12 - 23:30

Yeah bigger than all the other lahndun clubs put together. More money, more fans, more trophies, more history in fact bigger everything.

Since 05' they've won a bag full of trophies. Arsenal??

It's the trajectory I'm looking at. Roman's money keeps that going for at least another decade. Arsenal need to actually win something, Chelsea will overtake them in the long run.

The CL is worth about 5 English league titles.

Osusana · 19/05/12 - 23:36

Define "big" please?

Most money and highest wages - certainly

[Deleted User] · 19/05/12 - 23:36

They are at this moment in time.

batdude_uk1 · 19/05/12 - 23:36

Nope, and not even close to being that.

if its trajectory youre trying to manipulate then surely man city are the biggest club in the country then seeing as they have won more league titles in the last year than anyone else

Exactly just because Chelsea have Won One Champions League does not make them a bigger team than Arsenal. Chelsea like Man. City are still the new kids on the block and it will take them years to match Arsenal and Man. Utd's records.

Generalissimo · 19/05/12 - 23:43

Of course not. :rolleyes: Arsenal are, always have been and probably always will be.

According to who exactly?

Arsenal are head and shoulders above Chelsea in more than just the trophy department.;)

They also have what Chelsea can never buy.

Fergie86 · 19/05/12 - 23:58

By this logic Nottingham Forest are a bigger club than Arsenal and Chelsea combined as they have Won 2 European Cups to Chelsea and Arsenal's 1. Winning a Champions League is a big achievement but at the end of the day it is a cup competition and the best team does not always win it as has been proved by Chelsea tonight. Chelsea have done superbly since Abramovich came in with his money but it takes more than a few good years to match what Arsenal have achieved in there history. Also in no way is the Champions League worth 5 league titles, you have to play over 9 months and play the best part of 40 matches to win a championship against all types of different teams in different conditions were as you only play 13 games to win a Champions League.

I don't get why trophy history particularly matters. In truth, Manchester United became the biggest club in England, possibly the world, long before they overtook Liverpool's title haul. Arguably, long before that even.

Not sure about 'trophy count' being definitive.

Jokanovic · 20/05/12 - 00:09

Of course not but one things for sure they are the only London club to win the big one.
Gooners must be weeping. 15 solid years and they ain't won it

its true, trophies only tell you how successful a club is.

Successful, yes. But the definition was 'biggest'.

Were Manchester United not already the biggest club in England by 1999 despite having vastly inferior European cup (and to this day) and league title wins than Liverpool?

I think they probably were.

EDIT: I see you didn't disagree with me, sorry.But I'll leave my post as it is anyway

I dont know but some of their fans are the biggest tossers in West London, why oh why do they feel the need to shout and scream in the streets at this time of night , they won, be happy yes, swearing and bordering on lunacy is not a good image.

I see the helicopter has gone from over Fulham Road way now as well and the sirens are quiet .

We had to warn our neighbours before the match started tonight. Matches like this can bring out the best and the worst in you. We have been waiting a long time for this.

A case of following the leader perhaps?;)
