Champions league 09-10

[AnfieldEd]

So Chelsea are a small club? Everton have only won 4 league titles post-war, small club? Leeds? Ridiculous criteria for the size of a club Ed.

Everton are a special case because of their longevity in the top flight and their overall trophy cabinet.

Chelsea because of their longevity and domestic cups make them an exception and Leeds because of the 60's and 70's decade when they were are force.

There are always exceptions.

 

[Super Pippo]

It does apply, Napoli are not a big club either, but they are still bigger than Fiorentina.

so basically

"I pick and choose who I want to be known as a medium club based on whatever."

I mean, you're free to do it, really. I dunno why nolan and I are debating with you. you're a stubborn little chap and your mind is already made up. this is a waste o' time.

good luck to ya.

he didnt mention tottenham

Napoli are obviously more popular than Fiorentina, they had similar success (though Fiorentina had more periods of success), but Napoli comes from a bigger city with a notoriously large diaspora (the Italian side of my family is half-Neapolitan as I've said before), this is a fact. Internationally however outside of Neapolitan communities there isn't much difference as both clubs attracted fan bases through their players. But I mean hell, everyone likes Napoli.

Yeah why are you talking about which club is big and which isn't in CL's topic?

 

[Cal-FCB]

So Sunderland is a medium sized club and Fiorentina isn't? This sounds like the desperate cries of someone who is afraid of their club's slip into irrelevance and only has the past to brag about...oh wait, that's exactly what it is.

LOL owned. There are plenty more medium sized clubs who could listed too.

IMO Sunderland are bigger than Fiorentina yes.

If you have a past why not brag about it!

We are fucked no two ways about it, things are more fucked up behind the scenes than you all realise and trust me on that we are deeply fucked.

This isn't desperate cries for help and I wouldn't come on here for it would I? I salute la viola on their success which is earned but they are a small club and nothing you have said as made me changed my mind.

Improving a club's status well there is only ONE THING that does this and it is winning trophies. Anything else is piecemeal.

 

[yusuf]

lol at sunderland being bigger than Fiorentina

 

[Valon]

They are. They play in EPL, Fiorentina doesn't.

good point.

so I think we have a very good chance to qualify and even win the group.

it'll be very interesting to see who finishes second out of bordeaux and juve, and then real and milan. that could really spice up the EF.

Aren't we like qualified? Unless Kiev beat us 3-0?

 

[Cal-FCB]

Sunderland have no post-war titles, and have 1 FA Cup victory in that period too. And they are bigger than Fiorentina because?

Aren't we like qualified? Unless Kiev beat us 3-0?

Correct :beer2: was working out the scenarios earlier after the game. Kiev only move ahead of us if they better our 2-0 win at the Camp Nou the other week. So we're virtually already through. But winning the group is important.

 

[La Furia]

I guess Roma is a tiny club too, they won the scudetto a whole 1 more time than Fiorentina.

If only those minnows like Roma, Fiorentina, Napoli and Lazio were medium clubs like Bologna, Genoa and Pro Vercelli.
