zolayes 14,489 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I was convinced it was 47, but googling it I find it's actually 42. So you were closer than I were! Was it 7?I would have been at that final but gave my 2 tickets to my sons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My question:Which player had the shits from Spurs buy his flights before he saw the light? I heard he got a call from Abramovich and then off he went to Stamford Bridge, or something along those lines? He also quite possibly hates Tottenham.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Which player's surname had 3 letters and he made Crouch's ball control look like a child's (for a big man) I'd love this guy as our backup now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What was unique about our 6-0 win vs Wigan in 2010?Oh gawd. I remembered I saw something about that but can't recall it! When was the last time we lost a home league game where the winner wasn't scored by an ex blue?That 3-2 debacle against United - Hernandez with that blatant offside goal!

That 3-2 debacle against United - Hernandez with that blatant offside goal! No corners although it was unique in another way, I have never seen a team play so bad yet win 6-0, we literally scored with every single chance we created.

OhForAGreavsie 6,091 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 That's correct. Which is also a European record. We won the other leg 8-0 also. 21-0 on aggregate which is another European record. One i doubt will ever be beaten.I heard a story that Ossie had a bet with Peter Bonetti that he would score 6 goals against them. He got to 5 and we won a penalty and Bonetti ran from his goal and handed the ball to another of our players!! Not sure how true that is though Also i think one of their players only had 1 arm.... again not sure how true that is.Maybe one of our older members can shed some more light on them stories.I don't think I've heard the story about Ossie and The Cat but it sounds too good not to be true. One of the Jeunesse Hautcharage (Luxembourg) players definitely had lost a part of one arm however. We used to run around the playground re-enacting the game by holding one arm across our chests.And now my question...What is unique about our seven FA Cup wins?

boshman 1,073 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I don't know if this is unique but I am going to take a punt at us having 7 different managers.SextonGullitVialliJoseHiddinkCarloRDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other team has achieved three or more wins without at least one manager leading them to triumph on more than one occasion. You have also robbed me of my supplemental question which was going to be, 'Name them', so, sticking with the number 7, I am instead going to ask....Without looking them up, I can think of 7 Premier League records held by Chelsea. Can anyone : -Name those seven, andTell me if we hold any others that I haven't remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
