Good question

posted on 8/9/12

I would say do! But not on support you have a little catching up to do there..... But on bragging rights certainly!

13 league titles to your 4. Bit of an overriding statistic.

no correction, I think you mean 'now that we have bought the champions league with stolen Russian oil money, are we a bigger bunch of twazzoks then the City Mob...

On the European front miles ahead. On the domestic front not so much

That's relatively besides the point Mr Khan. If you look at Arsenal's history, success, fanbase and club worth then you have to say Arsenal is a much larger club than Chelsea. Monaco also won the Champions League after all.

Agree Chelsea will always be a small club compared with the history and pedigree of teams like Arsenal, United etc.... I remember 10 years or so ago they always used to languish in mid table!

I would not say you are bigger than Arsenal, because Chelsea is not at the same level in many aspects, eg, titles, members, fan base, stadium.
More respect, definetely yes. Even though the way Chelsea won the CL was probably a nightmare for fans who love the pretty game.

Arsenal:
13 League Titles
10 FA Cups
0 Champions League Titles

Chelsea:
4 League Titles
7 FA Cups
1 Champions League Titles

Factor into it that Arsenal are larger in every way, excluding the CL, in which you define the size of a club.

CL is the holy grail though. We need to win it if we want to be classified as one of Europe's elite.

It is the holy grail. But then again, the Netherlands are an elite international team and they've never won the World Cup.

1 Champions League, especially one won in that manner, is not equal to 7 league titles and 3 FA cups however.

Now that we have won the champions league

Are we more respected or rather bigger than Arsenal?

This answer to this is

Do you consider Forest to be a bigger club than Chelsea?


posted on 8/9/12

This will lead to arguments and wumming

The way Chelsea parked the bus in the CL LOST them a LOT of respect. Everyone prefers to watch teams try to play football thats entertaining not the stuff Chelsea played. With your tactics the only people who wanted Chelsea to win were Chelsea fans.

So are they more respected than Arsenal. Imo, no.

We aren't a bigger club anyway, we just have bragging rights for the time being

---------------------------------------------------------------------
And that is their holy grail. They have been a classic example of playing pretty football without winning over the years (apart from 1988 in enemies land).

Yeh - Coz Arsenals early history wasn't tainted was it!

There are lots of 'Big' clubs, Sheffield Wednesday for example are a sleeping giant!

---------------------------
We only lost the respect of people who didn't want us to win it
Winning 4-1 against a good Napoli side after being 3-1 down on aggregate.
Going through and drawing against Barca after being down to 10 men and 2 goals down
Having 1 injured and 1 unfit Centre back in the final against Bayern and winning the game

Many found it admirable

Chelsea are certainly a more relevant club than Arsenal.

Arsenals goal is a top 4 finish to balance the books, And as we saw v Barca which was the biggest embarrassment to football that I have ever seen Arsenal are certainly not ready to challenge Europes elite

Oh dear, who let the Birmingham fan on?

Early History?? Have you been drinking mate, how long have Chelsea been around, yet when I was talking just 10 or so years ago...

Mr Kahn, when did monaco win the champions league?? You'll find they got stuffed in the final by porto

posted on 8/9/12

My mistake, not Mr Khan's. I knew they were in the final together, I just got them mixed up.
