    We won the CL 2 years ago. Arsenal haven’t won a significant trophy since 2004.

    We won the PL in 2017. United last won it in 2012.

    We’ve been the most successful PL club in the last 20 years, although City might have equalled or passed us with the treble last year.

    Yes, we’ve been shit for 2 years now, but that was obviously going to happen with Abramovic leaving. It’s our time to suffer for a bit now. I think that with a few more signings and the current youngsters developing a bit more, we have potential to be competing sooner rather than later. It might take a season or two, but we should be fine.

    You can tell when someone’s a new fan when they become worried after their team doesn’t win a trophy for 1-2 years lol. Teams have ups and downs, this is football, get used to it.

    Arsenal finished 8th in back to back seasons and are now title contenders for the second season in a row.

    Liverpool finished above 6th only ONCE from 2009/10 till 2015/16.

    Some Chelsea fans need to realize that we’ve been absolutely spoiled for trophies in the last 20 years. It’s absolutely normal to eventually go through a rough patch.

    The owners of most big bulgarian clubs (apart from Ludogorets - aka the billionaire club) tend to scout free agent foreigners and bring them in by the dozen.

    The script they all follow is standard by now: bring in foreigner for no money, hope he does well, sell him in a season or two for profit, rinse and repeat. Because of this, clubs never really improve, because even if one of them has a good season, chances are by the next season they will sell half of their team and replace them with new free agents.

    This basically means very few youth players make it into the starting 11’s. Also because of the way the BFS has managed our football for the past 20 years, the youth systems are completely fucked as well. You can walk into any age group of a big clubs youth system and it’s almost guaranteed you’ll see at least 3-4 kids in the starting 11 who are absolutely shit, but they’re playing because their parents are paying.
