Ledley

So have Chelsea

As I said it doesn't matter what you've won, winning does not define history.

I'm sure Huddersfield and Leeds would happily trade one of their titles to be in the PL now

There is a difference between winning things and being dominant.

All of my comments are in response to your statement "Spurs have a hugely loyal following as well, they have been carp for most of their history and lived in the shadow of the other London clubs for all decades of their history bar the 80s."

In the 60's Spurs were the dominant London club - the most successful London club and all the other London clubs were in Spurs' shadow and not as you stated Spurs being in theirs.

I have prove that you were incorrect, again, now be a man and admit it for once.

Chelsea relegated, 1 title and 1 cup

Note - no other London club were relegated so hardly "on par"

Chelsea, Spurs and Wham win cups Arsenal don't even make a final - hardly "on par"

Arsenal 0 cups and below Spurs every season bar 1, hardly "on par"

Both Spurs and Wham win European cups - Chelsea could have but didn't - hardly "on par".

Jeez you're as stupid here as you were on the other 606

Where are you Ensil?

Dominant

Most important, powerful, or influential: "they are now in an even more dominant position in the market"

Spurs Form over Main London rivals from 1960-1969:

Chelsea:

Wins: 10
Losses: 8

West Ham

Wins: 9
Losses: 9

Arsenal

Wins: 11
Losses: 6

As I said you were by no means dominant over the other London clubs
Losses: 7

Arsenal

Apologies

I ignored Chelsea's league cup win in 1965.

I also ignored Arsenals 2 league cup final defeats

So those cup stats are now:

2 FA Cups and a Cup Winners Cup for Spurs
1 FA Cup and a Cup Winners Cup for Wham
1 FA Cup and 1 League Cup for Chelsea

I also ought to make mention of Chelsea's 2nd place finish in the 2nd division too.

And no cups for the goons

And the 60's as proven.

But Ensil that doesn't make you dominant, there is a big difference between dominating and simply being slightly better.

Since 2005 for instance, Chelsea have been head and shoulders better than all of the other London clubs in every aspect, that is irrefutable.

The same could be argued for Arsenal from 97 up until that point. Even though Chelsea won more than them in 97 itself and 2000

I repeat - all of my comments were in response to "During that decade no other London club won the league - my comment was in response to that written by Bubbles where he wrongly stated that Spurs were only the better London side in the 80's."

I have proven the above statement to be incorrect and it is my opinion that Spurs were the dominant London side in the 60's.

That you might disagree with my use of the word dominant is by the by however I have successfully proven that spurs were under no London club's shadow in the 60's.

Ensil I agree with you in that you weren't under the shadow of any other London club in the 60s. I just think the 60s in general was one of those decades where there were so many big clubs competing.

Generally speaking London clubs tend not to dominate and have short periods of success at a time.

We will have to agree to disagree for the time being

Thank you.

The 60's was a decade where no club really dominated the league;

Spurs
Ipswich
Everton
Liverpool
United
Liverpool
United
City
Leeds
Everton
7 different winners, 3 of which won it twice

FA Cup
Spurs
Spurs
United
Wham
Liverpool
Everton
Spurs
WBA
City
Chelsea
7 different winners - 1 winning it 3 times 4 of those that won it also won the league.

League Cup
Villa
Norwich
Birmingham
Leicester
Chelsea
WBA
QPR
Leeds
Swindon
City
10 different winners

Maybe that's why to many the 60's were such a great decade - no dominant club - honours being distributed evenly - no big 4 (or 5) - relegated clubs bouncing back to win the league, wage caps - a decade when the purity of football existed and before money started to ruin the game.

Isnt it strange that we have no history, you are obsessed with the 60s and we were the only club during that decade to win the League, The FA Cup, The League Cup and a trophy in Europe as well.

How embarrassed will you be in your first CL group season, after Sugga Daddy FC giving you all that cash, if you don't :

1. top your group

2.score about 3 goals per game (home and away)

3. beat the current CL champions at least once


Anyway, Thursdays on Channel 5.
Our 3rd/kids team will have a laugh playing bib boy et al in the Europa League.

You missed out being relegated and only finishing runners up in the 2nd division

How you can suggest city fans are bitter,when we are in the strongest position weve ever been,is a mystery.All youve done by dragging up stats from 60 year old history is embarrass yourself,i was expecting you to either make yourself scarce or come on to apologise after yesterday once you had slept on it and realised that you had in fact been a tool
Hope this helps

DC5 :

He can give it, but he cannot take it.
Always the sign of a poor WUM wannabee.

He asked a "genuine" question. So did I.
His one got a reply from me. My one made him go .
