Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

You've been in it twice in the last twelve years. Got knocked out at the round of sixteen stage both times.

But not in the last 10 years ! I think we might have nicked it once or twice under Pep don't you !?

Yes I would agree that the Europa is a major trophy, comparable to the uefa Cup, but this guy is trying to say the league and fa cups are not major trophies when clearly they are.

Not at all. To be fair I don't think it's really worth arguing about, and the lad here who mentioned the dad energy is absolutely on point.

I think it's subjective regarding what's 'major'. The domestic cups do not have the gravitas they once did. Money rules these days, to the point where big clubs like City can field a second team for most of the League Cup comp and still win it!

However, for a Brighton, Wolves etc. to win the same trophy, that would be rightly regarded as major by their fans - hence why no one should sneer at West Ham for their Conference success.

Realistically I think we just need to see a degree of stability at first. Some semblance of a cohesive unit.

A lot has been made here about Poch's comments about the last 15yrs, but for me the most important thing he referenced yesterday was only wanting players who want to play for our club.

My opinion is there's been quite a few Chelsea players who downed tools and decided to abandon us long before the season was done. It's been disappointing to say the least.

If we can establish a new sense of who we are then my hope is that we can make a challenge for a top four spot. However, that task is not an easy one so certainly not an expectation.

Top 4 should be a minimum target,but I'm not convinced on the old Spurs boss to be honest helping you achieve it,but we shall see

As a target I agree. However, you asked for realistic.

Yea,I did,because realistically you'll probably be about 10th,agreed,which will be an improvement on last season..............just

Who knows!

We can only go by the facts. Chelsea fans like myself are very proud that when we've contested that trophy we've won it both times, regardless of who's managing us at the time.

That's a shame. I thought we were having a sensible chat, and you've gone WUM. All good.

We'll see.

We are having a sensible chat,well I'm being honest anyway,not wumming in any way shape or form.

Hope this new kid hit's the ground running to score a couple,because you shouldn't rely on Sterling,(not that you were) and with Havertz gone I'm struggling to see where the goals are coming from,not that I'm too concerned as you can appreciate,but there's always Lukaku to come back into the fold I suppose,oops looks like a wum line that I suppose again.

To be fair in the last 10 years they’ve won quite a bit, only 2nd behind us on trophies won last 10 years so see where poch is coming from.. saying that it’s been 6 years since there last title and no sign of getting near it in those last 6 years..


2 premier leagues
1 champs leagues
1 Fa cup
1 league cup
1 Europa league
1 Uefa super cup
1 FIFA Club World cup

Last two don’t count as they’re just like the Community Shield.

How long ago was the last time?
