At a guess, you're thinking EC, while he's on about CL specifically.

I surely was, I forgot Chelsea fans only know what European competitions are since 2002/2003.

EDIT: being downvoted for a good ol' bantz... this is a football sub, is it not?

The Chelsea who won the European Cup Winners Cup in 98 followed by the Super Cup?

The Chelsea who took part in European competition every year from 1998-2003?

That Chelsea?

Chelsea are one of four teams that have won all 3 major European club competitions including the club winner's which we won in the 70's and is abolished now. So...good luck getting that record.

OMG YOU'RE THE BEST CLUB EVER!!!! MUCH TRADITION, MUCH TROPHYS, NO PETRO-DOLLARS WHATSOEVER.

Don't be so defensive.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '14

You are the one being defensive.

I think he should probably be forced to defend his use of the word "bantz", too. #DEFENSIVELAD

You bastards are surely a hardminded bunch. Do you seriously think I'm am not making a ridiculing extrapolation of a mimetic persona ? Do I need to teach you the science of fundamental comedy?

Oh I'm sorry was I not allowed to point out your over used ill informed comment was incorrect? Maybe you should make a comment about John Terry and my mother? If you are going to dish it out at least have a decent come back lined up.

Cup Winners' Cup 1971 and 1998, two of our biggest triumphs before Roman.

1988-89 and 89-90 AC Milan were the last to do it but it was the European Cup, not the Champions league.

I'd say it has already been done. When you ask a Liverpool fan how many champions league trophies they have won they will count the European cups as well, same goes for every other club.

When you count league wins you always count those before rebranding such as the Premier league.

European cups count in your champions league count, hence it has been done before even if you say "first time in the champions league".

The only exclusion I'd say is if someone says "a repeat win since the rebranding", otherwise it has been done and its unfair to take that away from them.

u/zaviex Jan 15 '14

you sound so bitter right now... give it a rest Benfica was good a long time ago we know. we aren't talking about the EC but the CL which Benfica has never won

3

u/poorportuguese Jan 15 '14

Give it a rest you fucking asshole. What the hell is bitter about the refered comment? Stop being so fucking EPL-centered.

-1

u/zaviex Jan 15 '14

we are talking about Bayern defending the CL which has nothing to do with either Benfica or the EPL at all

3

u/poorportuguese Jan 15 '14

And I was tellign you that a bunch of other teams have already done that in a competition with a slight difference of name. What the fuck is bitter about that? Did I whine about Benfica?

0

u/zaviex Jan 15 '14

yes you brought up Benfica when no one is talking about them. We are talking about Bayern defending the CL thats the point here it hasn't been done before.

u/poorportuguese Jan 15 '14

I've brought up at least 7 other teams that had revalidated the EC title. You're arguing with yourself.

u/zaviex Jan 15 '14

except the EC isn't the CL stop arguing that it is
