Thank you for your history lesson, and the answer that you want is no, you were not in receipt of oil money during that periodWe did get the last Champions League place...by beating YOU on the final day. Free history lesson there for you, brother.
Between the 96/97 - 02/03 season, Chelsea did the following:
FA Cup (1997)
League Cup (1998)
UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1998)
UEFA Super Cup (1998)
Charity Shield (2000)
FA Cup (2000)
Qualified for the CL twice
Qualified for the Uefa Cup twice
Here's how they finished in the league table during that run:
1996-97: 6th
1997-98: 4th
1998-99: 3rd
1999-2000: 5th
2000-01: 6th
2001-02: 6th
2002-03: 4th
Now onto my question: were Chelsea in receipt of oil money during this period?
Just a simple yes or no answer, brother.
And I have a follow up question.
Funny you started your history lesson in that year though, let's go back a few more years to give you a complete history lesson.
Shall we start at say 87/88 season , the season you finished 18th in the league and had to play a play off against a team in the 2nd division being Middlesbrough and got relegated.
You didn't need oil receipt money for that year either
And I remember them years , I remember watching teletex on a Saturday the next season and seeing the likes of Millwall in the top flight and seeing you playing in the 2nd division
And you are lucky this year that the teams below ain't going to catch you, so you know deep down you ain't going to get relegated even though you might not even get another point again this season
As I said in my original post when oil money dissappears you could go back to being the club you were before oil money
It's just some people's memory is longer than others
Next question though

Arsenal take it easy on us today 
This guy any good, my La Liga connoisseur brehs?
He's probably going to Real Madrid or some other team, but the reporters are using our name for clicks.
For me, Grizzou is player of the season in La Liga, Veiga is young player/break out player of this season.
Great tekkers and he gets forward well and has an eye for goal. Passing isnt maybe what you’d expect from a Spaniard but for the price its promising.
They better sell Mitrovic once they sign Icardi because he will 100% punch Mauro up at some point.

Apparently, he said a tackle Son made was more like martial arts than football
tf martial arts arent exclusive to Asians.
like Kobe said: Soft! Thank you for your history lesson, and the answer that you want is no, you were not in receipt of oil money during that period
