I think we're definitely stronger than last year. Torres is already looking better than last season and Mata gives is that extra drive going forward, we also have Sturridge back as well.

Chelsea FC were formed in Fulham (in the Butchers Hook Pub) which was then in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, Middlesex and to this day have no legitimate ties to the place known as Chelsea.

If there's anything else you want to know about Fulham's junior club just ask .

Exactly.So if your team is now stronger you would have thought they'd have done better and got a point

Being on the cusp of something isn't the same as being in somewhere

Now which definition of cusp are you using?

a : a point of transition (as from one historical period to the next) : turning point; also : edge, verge <on the cusp of stardom>
b : either horn of a crescent moon
c : a fixed point on a mathematical curve at which a point tracing the curve would exactly reverse its direction of motion
d : an ornamental pointed projection formed by or arising from the intersection of two arcs or foils
e (1) : a point on the grinding surface of a tooth (2) : a fold or flap of a cardiac valve

Just to confirm then that Fulham's junior club, aka Chelsea, are based in Fulham, The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, Middlesex and always have been.

Legally if we were not on the boundaries of K&C we would not be allowed to use the name Chelsea FC without the permission of the land owners, that is why we have had many problems relocating.

Must try harder

On March 10th 1905, a meeting convened opposite the stadium in a pub now called The Butcher's Hook. One item on the agenda was a name for the new club. Stamford Bridge FC, Kensington FC and intriguingly, London FC were all rejected. Chelsea FC was what it was to be - and the story had begun.

John Tait Robertson, a Scottish international was the first player/manager and a squad of respected players was signed, providing a league could be found to compete in.

The Southern League was the natural choice for our location but they were unwelcoming to these upstarts. Undaunted, Chelsea simply set our sights higher and went straight for the northern-dominated Football League.

On May 29th 1905, the Football League AGM dramatically elected us to the Second Division. Parker again proved persuasive as we became the first club ever to make the League without having kicked a ball.

Most football clubs were founded first, and then sought grounds in which to play,

but Chelsea were founded for Stamford Bridge.

Since there was already a football club named Fulham in the borough, the founders decided to adopt the name of the adjacent borough of Chelsea for the new club, having also considered names such as Kensington FC, Stamford Bridge FC and London FC.

The following is an extraction from your official website.

Most football clubs were founded first, and then sought grounds in which to play,

but Chelsea were founded for Stamford Bridge.

Since there was already a football club named Fulham in the borough, the founders decided to adopt the name of the adjacent borough of Chelsea for the new club, having also considered names such as Kensington FC, Stamford Bridge FC and London FC.

So either CFC is correct or you are. It can't be both.

Are Tottenham Hotspur the original Hotspur team?

130,000 Moscow, unofficial but widely acknowledged

Chelsea's record attendances are higher than any other London club, and by some way too

We were pulling in the same crowds as Arsenal and Spurs even when we were relegated to the 2nd tier

And Post WW1, We had by far the largest attendances of any other club despite being a newer club

It is very clear that financially Spurs are now struggling and have to rely on loans and cheap cast offs.

And you would know this because???

It is my belief that Levy is playing the long game, especially where HR is concerned. If his court case goes against him, Spurs might have to release him & of course if everything is alright then he will be England manager next year. Either way, I do not think Levy wants to give him loads of money, he wants to retain it & see how the land lies!

To the OP:
Why Sandro? why not say any player who is under contract? for example Torres, if Chelsea didnt win the Prem, or the Champions League, would he be happy with this, and could this cause problems for Chelsea?

Is it the length of his contract that is the issue, if so how would signing him for 3 years make any difference, except for making his re-sale value less?

Bubba................................so tell me, how does 130,000 trump 199,854???? Even in Chelsea La La land, this would take some explaining!

Stupidity must be requirement for followers of Fulham's junior club.

I assume by Arseanl that you meant Arsenal.

Dial Square became Woolwich Arsenal became Arsenal. Club first, name second

Liverpool were originally called Everton FC. Club first, name second

So - that's just Chelsea then.

No. It has been proved by their club historian.
