i have never liked man utd maybe cus from the time i been following football they wont a lot of things. i have been a supporter of chelsea for over 10 years now and are we the new Man UTD? everyone hates us playing they hate our manager and they thing we are boring?

If this what it feels like to support man utd or do liverpool and so on supports just hate the fact we are winning for once?

Just watching tv then and they going on how NO SWEARING, Big Kev chelsea are and boring and just should go back to the way they were to be liked? i was like WT* u want us to start coming 2nd and 3rd every year again to get liked again!

This is just me thinking out loud really hehe
 
People dislike Chelsea for the money and for Mourinho and of course because they are running away with the title again.
Had it been Charlton or Portsmouth that had been bankrolled the way chelsea have then I think the feelings towards them would be the same.

I wouldnt worry about it , nobody dislikes losing sides.
Hate towards other sides stems from their success , something I have never experienced.
 
I have never liked Chelsea. Kerry Dixon used to get right on my wick.

I think Chelsea are disliked a lot more now because they are not gracious in defeat or humble in victory. The players and manager swagger around oozing arrogance and demanding respect. Respect is earnt.

You would never have seen any of the old school players or managers behaving that way. Bobby Moore, Bill Shankly/Bill Paisley, Tom Finney, Bobby Charlton etc are all perfect examples of footballing legends that were gentlemen at the same time. Until Chelsea players and management learn to conduct themselves with more decorum they will be looked down upon by most of football.

When I went to the Benfica vs Liverpool match in Lisbon, I was chatting to some Portugese blokes in the bar. Some were Sporting Lisbon fans, some Benfica and a couple of Porto fans. Although their teams were rivals, they all agreed the same- Mouriniho is arrogant and rude.
 
Couldn't care less if no-one likes us, I don't particularly like any other teams domestically (bar Brentford) that's what being a supporter is all about.
We're the best team in England, stick that in your pipe & smoke it you envious rat bags:)
As long as people don't just make up reasons for their gripes, so what...

Name one instance of a player doing that:)
 
and loved more than anyone else don't forget.

I think it's the way you play that gets on some peoples wick. I mean when United and Arsenal dominated there was a huge degree of attacking flair. Now i'm not saying that your players are any worse than theirs were but the style you play see's you function more like a battering ram than a cavalier attacking side. Now at the end of the day that gets you results but it's not called the beautiful game for nothing and people are naturally attracted to fast, creative, free flowing football whereas mourinho likes his players to serve as a function for his team. Not that you don't ever play that kind of football but it's not the core of the identity of your team.

Of course other people are also jealous but they were jealous of Arsenal during the invincible season as well but they were still singing their praises about the football they were playing. Thankfully it's not all about statistics and results.

Just think if you were a young billionaire looking to buy a club at the moment would you want them to play like Chelsea? or would you want them to play like Barcelona?
 
Not even close to the new ManU
its only 2 seasons of dominance for a start and its been done in such a boring (yes effective,but ultimately boring) style that it doesn't bring the same level of jealousy that i had whilst ManU were at their best.

Who? Chelsea? Well, they've certainly improved in my eyes but I wouldn't say I love them.

If you're on about manyoo you're vastly mistaken.

name an english side thats been loved more on a worldwide basis. Of course a bitter fan isn't going to see it. I'd be interested to see the average attendances of clubs since inception as well. * edit Post war might be fairer

I didn't say we were the most successful club in england simply that we have a greater following. Face it you don't tend to love any clubs other than the one you support, if your club is the most widely supported in the country and also has the largest overseas fanbase by some margin then who exactly would you consider better loved?

other then newcastle i used to support chelsea in the Zola/Wise era a few years back, a liked there players way more then todays team, they had some real characters, like zola/wise/vialli/di matteo etc.

i wouldn't say i hate them now i just don't like the way they've bought there way to the title, the team just seems way to commercial and apart from the english players the others just seem to have 0 personality.

a no its not based on personality, but i wanna see real ppl playing not a bunch of no brained robots, although that would be cool.
 
Because the first team that springs to someone's mind is manyoo does not make manyoo the most loved club. It makes them the most followed. People might check their results, if they even do that.

Plastic and glory fans aren't fans that love a club.

The problem there is everyone that has won the Premiership title has bought their way to it. Even the luck manyoo had with the youngsters coming through they had to buy top players anyway.

Blackburn bought it with Walker's millions, the only team you could maybe say didn't was Arsenal because in comparison they had very little to spend, but even they bought the players that won them the title...

And Leeds they didnt spend much when they won Div 1
 
Football fans hate the way the Chelsea managment (namely Kenyon) have conducted themselves these past two seasons.
Tapping up, Scotching transfer deals for other clubs, simply buying players to deny other sides their services....

I mean, you only to have to look at who they have bought, and for what money and who actually gets a game.

The difference between Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds and Newcastle, is when they were spending big, its because they either earnt the money or financed it with loans, they had to live with consequences of spending big.
Chelsea have a limitless pot of cash and dont have to think of the consequences of their spending, so they effectively are not competing on a level playing field with everyone else.
I dont hate Chelsea, or even Maureen or his players, i just see them winning the title and it means nothing, it will never mean anything while the campaign has been fought on unequel terms.

It doesnt even matter if they are unsuccessfull, as the money will just keep on coming, where for everyone else, you have to be successfull to stay at the top and compete for top players, chelsea can get who they want near enough regardless of how well they do.

The core of the side though was the youngsters though. And those players that we bought around them weren't all HUGE signings. Solksjaer and Johnsen were on the cheap, Schmeichel was cheap, Comparing the strikers it was Yorke and Cole for Utd. Them two combined was £20million i think. Henry was £10.5 million, Bergkamp £7.5. I would say they've spent enough. Wenger's shrewd signings in this modern era were done in the same style by Taggart in the 90's i feel.

Man Utd will always be hated.. It's just one of them things. I wouldn't say I hate Chelsea, more of an annoyance of the way they play at times like at the Nou Camp this year they didn't really turn up.

I hate Liverpool. That's standard.

Like who?
It's usually SWP this argument is levelled at, he's played 33 times this year.
Glenn Johnson isn't good enough & is only used as a last resort.
Del Horno - 26 games.
Essien - 33
Joe Cole - 37
etc..
