HAPPY NEW YEAR to all posters and the Ed's.
Let's hope 2026 brings another successful trophy winning year for the only club that's "won it all. ".
{Ed001's Note - Happy New Year Tom. I have to say though, I don't understand why you keep mentioning this winning it all thing. It is a bit sad to admit that you have been so bad enough to have chances to win the lesser competitions. It is very cringe each time you mention it. You are celebrating a bunch of consolation prizes as if they are a big deal. Even Moyes won the Conference League, with West Ham as well. It is a competition so weak they even named it after our old non-league competition!}

IED001, i did say a while back that the likes of Real Madrid would not be happy to say "we won it all".
{Ed001's Note - it just reminds me of the old Bob Paisley quote, when asked about why he had not won the UEFA Cup and he just said that we don't finish low enough to qualify. For clubs like West Ham and Palace it is a big thing, but Chelsea, especially after spending nigh on 2bn, it just feels a bit of something to just put in the trophy cabinet and move on quietly and not bring attention to it.}

Because it makes us unique and I like that.
I’m proud of all the trophies we have won.

Tom, whatever makes you happy. As Andre Ward said:” You’re only as good as your last fight”.

Well put Ed.

Bill, that would be nice but it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Unfortunately, the beginning of 2026 will bring me back to the treatment table. I must have the same doctors as Lavia.

Tom mate, you carry on saying it as it winds the oppo up a treat. Champions of the world, we know what we are.

I love it and we can sing it for seasons to come!
