Dummy what's your point, Chelsea are a plastic club. The next season they finished 5th and Sunderland were seventh.. Some of Us remember Ruud Gullit, Winston Bogarde and Brian Laudrups running thru that club..

They were probably the 3rd/4th most consistent team the decade prior to Roman. You know as well as I do that Wandsworth and Mitcham have a shyt load of Chelsea fans from around that time.

Now I will agree with you that Chelsea do have some plastic element about them, as I know Chelsea fans were complaining about the atmosphere changing at the Bridge back in the early 00's as their season tickets were getting higher under Captain Birdseye's ownership. But you cannot dismiss the fact that they were a successful cup team the decade prior to Roman. They were no different to what Spurs were in the 80's.
