I do wonder if I used to like the CL more when we did actually have a realistic chance of winning it. I don't think I did, really. It's always felt a bit artificial.

Well I was down the pub for our game and it is fair to say if the players were in any way of the mind-set of the public then nobody saw that game as even a challenge, it was simply a chance to stretch some legs before the decider v England (which itself was going to be relatively easy).

I kept my counsel.
I am stuggling to sustain the fiction in my mind that we have to be in the CL to be beaten by Bayercalona in the last 16 every year just so we can attract and retain good enough players to keep playing in the Cl to be beaten Bayercalona in the last 16 every year.
How many top players did Chelsea lose by not being the CL this year? Which good players did they sign despite this, and how is their league campaign going?
Oh.
