It’s not something any one of us would have noticed about Chelsea. They have been referred to as Chelski ever since though. They were labelled as buying players to stop others buying them, for the sake of it. Probably loads of shit too.
We notice it as it’s our club. Newcastle fans will notice it. In fact days after their take over their forums were full of comments about what was being said.
The difference between us and Chelsea though is that they we’re already relatively successful, so the added success wasn’t really a thing. It was more they could buy players, loads of them, and not care.
We were nowhere. Nobodies other than little old City. Yet here we are now, dominating, attracting the best of everything. Deep down nobody means what they say, it’s just football fans. They all want what we have. All of them.
