Chelsea was the first team on the planet to wear numbers on the shirts, thats why during the legendary South American tour of 1929 the were called "Los Numerados", The Numbered Ones. Chelsea is big in south america.
Thats a bit of history, but the fact is that ALMOST EVERY team in EPL has history, for gods sake its birthplace of football. Every team has something, some happy, some tragic, Some may have won more, some less, but each one is unique in its way.
Lets not forget there are teams with more past wins doing great, and those that nobody wants to play for (Leeds) For example Steue Bucharest has won more CL than Chelsea, do any of the players want to play there "because of the history", or do they knock on Red Star Belgrade door ? The fact is that the BIG 4+City are the richest clubs in EPL, so its their history on the spot, it could be any other, QPR, Newcastle, Nottingham Forrest and then their history would be on the spot.
We can argue here for years, but the fact is that players want to be part of history, they want to be history, and only a strong team, good facilites, great staff and a good manager can do it. "
I just post it here because it explains well about the 'history' thing. So whenever rival clubs taunt us about history, here is the answer ^^
Bayern 4 times , Liverpool 5 times UCL Winner , Ac Milan 7 Times , Real Madrid 9 times , this is what i called history , your history for me is nothing, tell me history after u guy wear a badge of honor on the sleeve
