Overview
- O’Hara asserted on talkSPORT that Tottenham are the bigger global club and argued Chelsea’s stature stems from Roman Abramovich’s 2003 takeover and spending.
- Terry phoned in with a scathing voicenote dismissing the idea, joking he could tour Spurs’ trophy cabinet and still be in his seat by kick-off.
- Coverage cited Chelsea at 34 major trophies, including six league titles and two Champions Leagues, compared with Tottenham’s 25, with many of Chelsea’s wins coming after 2003.
- Pre‑2003 comparisons reported Spurs ahead on honours and all‑time points to that date, while Terry’s own record highlighted Chelsea dominance with 17 wins in 32 meetings against Tottenham.
- The exchange intensified in the hours before Saturday’s 5:30pm match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as O’Hara also derided Stamford Bridge and called Everton’s new ground a “toy” version of Spurs’ arena.
