Just a question to everyone on the forum. I have been getting a lot of grief lately from friends who support arsenal. They call chelsea a small club. I realise that we didnt win that many trophies in the 20th century compared to some teams. Have we become a "big club" or are we just a "small club with money"

Dont really care whether other fans think were a big club or not. Were Chelsea, thats all I`m interested in.

Yep the stance Im taking. Still we arent a small club fu*in annoys me though being labelled small. I hate arsenal and their fans, bunch of stupid twa**

Just tell them they should be ashamed that their big club has been bested so often and so easily by our little club then. Oh and f**k em.

Hah will do mate!

I've heard lots of reference to teams being a big club or a small club. What would be interesting is for you to ask your friends how they're measuring the 'size' of a club. Global fanbase? Revenue? Competitions won? I'd wager that we've been consistently better than Arsenal in all of those categories over the last 5 years. Or do they want to be so picky with their definition that they deliberately exclude those that have had more recent (or should that be relevant) success by stipulating that such achievements must have been maintained over 10, 20, 50, 100 years?

I refuse to be drawn into arguments with people claiming that we are a small club because in reality, what does the 'size' of a club matter anyway? We are currently one of the most successful teams in the world and, whatever some jealous Arsenal/Liverpool fans want to believe, that's unlikely to change any time soon.

Yeh totally agree mate. They are just living in the past. We will just continue to show them up in the football.

Any derogatory names for arsenal fans?

c**ts?

Ask them what the view's like down in 4th.

Im being called a rentboy, how original.

Tell them there is a reminder how 'big' their club is..

Hah quality link mate, now these mugs are calling me a chav, thinking they've got class what mugsh

I think without Fabregas and Nasri next season, that website could last sometime!

Ask them if they enjoy being big clubs feeder club. Cole to us, Adebayor to City, Fibreglass and nasri leaving this summer.

I enjoy telling people we're the other club in Fulham. There reaction is priceless.

Does it matter? Does it f**k!

Who is Arsenal and who the f$&k would want "Arse" as part of the name? No wonder no one wants to be associated with them internationallyî¡î–

Al

We should take Nasri from them...that'll piss them off ;)

This whole "big club" thing to me is something fostered by SkySports. You can't judge the size of a club accurately. And its commonly used as a defence by clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool who are jealous of our success, which should discredit it even more.

We are Chelsea.

Nothing else matters . . . .

BIG CLUB, WEE CLUB its all means f**k ALL!

True. Look at Liverpool. People would say that they are a "big club", but look how well it's going for them

We are a small club with a big brand

Now that I think about it, the last time Arsenal won a trophy was hallfway through my first year of high school..
