Can't believe you made it there mate. Must have been truly incredible!!! Was going mental even at the pub

You’re dreaming if you think that team looks strong Mark.

Bayern Munich were definitely 14 points above us in their league.

Again - no need to compare Jase. Let’s just celebrate all our fantastic CL wins 💙

I am satirising Jason‘s playing down of our 20/21 win. I don’t believe that. Now you know how playing down our win under Tuchel feels to me 🙂

We won not because Drogba was a great player but because Bayern bottled in the last minute and on pens. Didn’t really count as a win tbh - we’ve only won one UCL really.

Give over Jason. Not worth the response.

And what was the gap to the top in the PL 2012? Nonetheless I agree with the rest of this bobbly, I think we’ve come together 😀

I don’t disagree with any of this 🫡

I don't think there's any through line between RA and Clearlake, but interesting moment Nobbly. Clearlake would have probably gutted any team that was left anyway. For me this has always been more of a Clearlake problem than the players or even the managers. They pick the managers. They buy the players. And sporting directors. They are responsible.

We finished SIXTH in 2012 Bobbly!!! SIXTH!!! 🤦‍♂️ We won the CL because Tuchel is a brilliant manager in the Champions League and we had some brilliant players that season (Mendy, Rudiger, Kante, Jorginho and more). Tuchel clearly knows how to go up against Guardiola and match him. Or yes we got lucky because City didn't show up on the day. Meanwhile the 2012 team was unlucky because Bayern were so brilliant that day. Last I am talking about luck and this topic. Have a great day my friend 💙

I'm not Bobbly. Believe me - I do not want to talk about luck AT ALL. I have repeatedly said this. It's an attitude - LUCK is a part of every sport and has played into so many title races and competitions. At the end of the day, we celebrate the winners as winners and we celebrate ourselves when we win. We don't want a bottlejob Spursy second place manager in Poch and we don't want to be a team that celebrates finishing second, no matter how much luck or decisions were involved along the way. We had this mentality under Roman - no excuses, the whole world is against us. We're still winners. But if you are to force me into a conversation about luck which I don't want to have then please don't try to come up with some convoluted argument about how we were lucky in 2021 and not in 2012. I'll write down the XG Stats again for you: Bayern (3.17) 1-1 (0.60) Chelsea (2012). Man City (0.86) 1-0 (1.29) Chelsea (2021) There is no credible argument to be made that we were luckier in 2021. It is not even worth debating. I believe what @Mark Kelly has summed up well is you and others believe that some of those players who won in 2012 deserved to win based on previous occasions. Maybe you liked and connected to that team more and they were more dominant in other trophies. But the players in 2021 had nothing to do with that. Again - for me both of the trophies were 10/10. We deserved both of them 10/10. I am not interested in talking about luck with either. But please, if you force me into a conversation about luck, don't try to argue 2021 was lucky and 2012 not. I am desperately trying to end this!

😂😂😂😂 Too much. That’s the last comparison I’m EVER making between 2012 and 20/21. You got me here @NoblyBobly but it’s not worth the time of day. Just a ridiculous argument. 💙 Let‘s just celebrate our wins and stop f‘in comparing them. Please!!!

We were lucky in neither. Every game has luck. You can’t rewrite games around luck. Let’s just celebrate our victories - you got me here with your ridiculous „lucky“ comment about 20/21. But if we were gonna do that - we were way more lucky in 2012.
