Basically Stanny, the quicker the rise the faster the fall.
So whilst it would take decades for Man U and Liverpool to lose their powerhouse status, it would take about 5 years out of Europe for Chelsea to lose theirs.
It took Arsenal 10 years so fair pointQuote:

Arsenal might be the 4th biggest club in England. But the only clubs bigger than us are Man United and Liverpool. True fact.
Spuds are a bigger club support wiseQuote:

You lost 3 games that season and drew 12 times, Not to mention you actually played to draw and not win a fair few of your games. United won three trophies and We broke the at the time points amassed and goals conceded recordQuote:

We can argue who was the better side forever the Man U treble side or the Invincibles it is a good discussion to have
But you trying to throw Chelsea in therr is just ****ing laughable
No **** outside of Chelseas supporters would even consider including Chelsea in this argument
Just another one of your delusions in relation to your club

Shows much more quality and skill and character to lose a few games along the way. Winning the competition while losing is much more difficult. Ask Huddersfield this year, it’s gonna be a whole lot harder for them than it will be for City.
Now we're back onto some real hard truths. Mooy, Sobhi and Terence Kongola to fight it out for the Ballon D'oh, haha. Obviously the "make a wish" kid from Australia to win it.Quote:

Actually, 3 times. If Poch does wander off to Madrid we are in big strife.
Looking forward to the Carabao Cup. Poch would be advised to take that game very seriously with the mood around the club at the moment.Quote:

Arsenal got lucky against the powerhouse that is Blackpool, geez that ref was handing out cards like candy on Halloween.Quote:

Arsenal may very well have burned bridges in other competitions in the Invincibles year but no one can ever take away that shiny golden trophy.. unless they raid Arsene Wenger's house and steal it.
They cant take it away but other teams have had more impressive seasons and that's just lifeQuote:

I'd say it is in its own tier of special. They don't compete, but both are wonders that should be cherished for a long time to come.Quote:

Our attack looked superb in patches. If we could get to this level for 90 mins week in week out we would be very serious title contenders.
I only seen the 2nd half and I thought that you guys were far better than us. We looked dangerous on the counter everytime but you guys controlled the game, Lucas Torreira was brilliant.Quote:

2 things after watching the highlights.
Mkhitaryan should have had a penalty after Allison clattered into him.
Mane's goal should have stood.
I don't think the Mkyhi one should have been a penalty. Because the same thing happened against Van Dyjk from Leno in the 1st half that wasn't called. Happy for both not to be called but can understand if they were.Quote:

It was an awesome game, I highly recommend you watch the entire thing if you get a chance. It was so quick and both teams went at it.
Fully agree that Mkhitaryan could go either way, the VVD one was probably less of a penalty shout but he was offside anyway so it's completely irrelevant what happens after that.Quote:

FA wants to cap the number of loan players a club can have at 8.
Chelsea currently have 39 on loan... I wonder if that is a deliberate shot at the Russian by the FA?
Has Stanny gone into hiding or something?
