That is ridiculous. Man City were lingering in the 3rd tier of English football as recent as the late 90s, whilst Chelsea were winning FA cups and playing CL semis in the 90s with players like Guillit, Deschamps, Desailly etc. If you talk about history, well Chelsea beat Man City in the semis of the Cup Winners Cup of 1971, so there's that.At least city have some history and we're still well supported in the bad times. Chelsea are built on a foundation of sand.
