@razer4660 He's a complete tool. Funny how Chelsea were nothing before Roman yet here we are in 1970 walloping the Goonies on their own ground! BTW, we finished 3rd that season, they finished 12th. We were also getting attendances of 40,000-60,000 back then. You know, all those fans we never had before Roman, lol.

chelsea's ground a shithole? you ever been to your own ground you goon cunts? your areas like a fucking domino, just like your home support. you need the floodlights on just to see your supporters faces.go and munch on another kebab you vile fucking north london wannabes from woolwich. i'd rather support chelsea in the blue square premier than be one of you lot at the top of the premier league. fuck trophies - we took more away than you and theres more pride in that.

@chavmanx If you really didn't want to continue you wouldn't have typed out 3 more messages for me, lol. So, to clarify. Yes, Arsenal are a franchise, however much you try to fudge it. Yes, Chelsea were historically big spenders (I love how you think Chelsea spending big money doesn't actually count as spending big money!). And so it was Blackburn as well as Bolton where the Emirates was less than full? Even better. Cheerio now.

[chavmanx]

@FlaviusConstantius On the Bolton jibe 1. we played Blackburn 2. Bit rich criticising our current crowds when you've rarely averaged more than us in the last 80 years. Even then tickets have been paid for and people chose not to use them out of protest at our "underachievement". Anyway I'm done with you, your arguments are all over the place and your contempt for Arsenal is clouding your judgement, not much point in me continuing to debate with someone so blinkered, good day.

[chavmanx]

@FlaviusConstantius Like I said go and read a dictionary (business or otherwise) as you clearly don't know what franchising is. Unless you have your own definition, I'm dying to here it! Anyway once again moving a team from one locale to another is not franchising, pure business yes, franchising NO. Nor is changing a name or moving stadium (as many other clubs have done).

[chavmanx]

@FlaviusConstantius Always big spenders? The transfer deadline was introduced to stop you (or others) spending your way out of relegation, not to stop you buying titles. You spent to avoid relegation because you didn't spend what you needed to in the first place. Your owners only spent when financial ruin could come calling, good example. Your last line is ironic as it is you who has found yourself in this pridicament not me.

[FlaviusConstantius]

You should have said if you wanted a laundry list. Chelsea were always big spenders. In fact we were the reason the transfer deadline was introduced after the board spent a then-unheard of £3000 trying to avoid relegation in 1910. Whether the money was spent wisely is another matter entirely but it was spent nonetheless. So wrong again. As I said, best not to get into an argument with someone who knows more about this than you.

[FlaviusConstantius]

I wouldn't expect a Gooner to understand what franchising is. Especially one who bleats about me talking about stuff that happened a long time ago (ho hum). Being a prototype MK Dons with more name changes and ground moves than you had empty seats against Bolton is as much your history and tradition as the marble halls or Nick Hornby. The Emirates is soulless, and it's either tourists or real fans who are attending matches disguised as plastic seats....

[chavmanx]

@FlaviusConstantius Secondly reeling off 2 players does not a team make. It is a known fact that the Mears charged high rents (to avoid the FA's dividend rules) and kept all money (except Chelsea gate money) to line their pockets. The amount of money Chelsea were making they should've had a far better team, but like I said the sheep that supported them back then didn't demand it, so the owners laughed all the way to the bank.

[chavmanx]

@FlaviusConstantius Firstly you need to learn what franchising is, moving from one town/area to another is not it, I suggest a dictionary. The fact that you criticise Arsenal for things that happened 100 years ago shows the weakness of your argument. As does critcising the fact that our ground is like a library (and yours isn't) soulless and full of tourists (false). It's ironic that this is the same route you and spurs want to go further down.
