The other day I was having one of those classic football arguments with a friend, the old my club's better than your club stuff, but how do you actually measure the success of a football club?
Now I'm pretty sure most people would turn to the trophy cabinet at this point, but some may say that football is a business and money has become the most important. As a Chelsea fan, I myself am sitting quite smug at the moment, of course there's the whole glory hunter and buying the league taunts I suffer through daily but that doesn't change our recent success, other clubs however may be a bit more harder to please so look at the history books for comfort.
Looking at it closely I came to realise what football is - football is a sport, a form of entertainment and so it seems that the most entertaining clubs should be given the title of most successful, maybe your Barcelona's and Real Madrid's come into contention for their style of play and wonderful football.
Well, for me, any club and every club can be entertaining. It only takes one match, one player, one goal to inspire all the passion and excitement in the world - so that just leaves me to say we can all be happy with the true excitement of our football teams, with or without a trophy.
