When I was at school, something we'd always do when rivals lost is work out how our teams did against the team they'd just lost to. If we beat them, we could then argue that we were better than them.
For example, Chester beat Fylde on Saturday, and Fylde knocked Wrexham out the FA Cup, so we could argue this means Chester are better than Wrexham and would beat them.
Using this method, you can argue that pretty much anybody could beat anybody, especially if you make it into a chain. For example, we beat Eastleigh last season and Eastleigh beat Swindon. If you look at the League 1 teams Swindon beat last season, you'll probably find that one or two of them beat a Premier League team in the League or FA Cup, and it can go on from there.
So, here's your challenge for the pre-Christmas week - using this theory, demonstrate that Chester could beat Barcelona.
Try and keep the chain as short as possible, and results reasonably recent (say, post-2000). And you can't include friendlies, they don't count!
