As for my small club quip?....Well, to most football fans who were around before Sky ruined the sport, then Chelsea will always be the equal of a club like West Ham, rather than Arsenal or Spurs...Bit of a yo-yo club, play good football but with little success.'"
Whilst your memory goes back to the 1970s, do a bit of research and you will find that Chelsea were consistently the highest supported club in the game between the 1920s and the early post war years.
The level of a club in the game's history is not simply based upon where it is now, but it's more relevant than simply basing it upon some random year in your childhood.
Jibes about clubs with "no history" usually come from clubs with "no future".
