We will get to three and Uefa will come up with a different competition and tell us it's nothing like the CLFerguson won 2 cl titles in 26 years what the rest should worry about is when we win it and we will win it we will win it again and again this next team pep is about to build is gonna be the best they will dominate for the next 10 years I've had a bet with a rag that we will get to 4 cl titles before they do I will collect that bet
I think we still have two seasons of the current format to win it before that new format kicks in. We better win it next seasonWe will get to three and Uefa will come up with a different competition and tell us it's nothing like the CL
Loads of reasons, but Chelsea clearly weren’t the better team, luck, injuries, suspensions, form, fixture congestion and mistakes (including from refs) have more impact on one off matches than over a 38 game season.The counter-argument to that is how come a better team lost to the European champions 3 times in the space of 2 months ?

That’s why to win the PL you have to be the best, but to win the CL can clearly do it without being the best, you don’t necessarily even play the best teams as teams have off days and get knocked out.
A league is much harder to win, and a truer test of if you’re the best team in a competition.
Nobody thought Wigan were the best team in England when they beat us in the FA Cup final in 2013 (they got relegated ffs); nobody thinks Chelsea were the best team in the whole of Europe in 2021.
Cup competitions don’t mean much, I’ll take the PL every time.
We do need to win this competition, but you do need luck to win it. You need luck in the draw, you need luck with injuries and you need luck with referees. City had some luck, this year but ultimately it was bad luck and injuries that cost us this year.But that's the whole point, we're yet to win it. It's the biggest trophy in club football and would cement this teams status as true greats. We can't just pretend it's an irrelevance because we haven't won it, our failure to do so is now as conspicuous as a flashing neon sign, and it will only get worse the longer it takes to win.
And this b******t that it's an easy trophy to win needs to stop being peddled. If it were we'd have won one by now, simple as that. It's a monolithic, psychological obstacle that we're yet to overcome. The margin for error is slim to nonexistent, and that in itself is a major challenge posed. Luck doesn't enter into it. You make your own luck in football.
