From any point of view, Chelsea deserve to be in the Champions League more than Nottingham there have been a lot of changes at Chelsea over the last few seasons and their games are more interesting, basically deserves to compete in the champions league.
Nottingham forest performance dropped towards the ending of the season, when the season started, from the way Nottingham forest were playing in their matches, I was thinking they will be qualifying for the champions league next season, but when the season was about to end, their performance dropped, and they started losing matches which they are not suppose to lose.
I agree with you, Chelsea will perform better than Nottingham forest in the champions league, and I like the idea of Chelsea qualifying for the champions league. Chelsea were just dedicated to end the season in top 5, and they were able to achieve that.
