I posted this on a different thread, but half way through I thought it deserved a thread of its own. I'd like to think of this thread as therapy; somewhere you can express to others what Chelsea FC means to you, the SC member.
Chelsea piss me off mightily for the following reasons:
1) They're all money and no class.
2) With the money they've got they could have constructed a really attractive footballing side. But, no, they decided instead to hire some of the best mercenaries, er I mean 'footballers', in the world to play a turgidly defensive style in an effort to grind out results.
3) For a club that was extremely close to going into financial melt-down, you'd think the Chelsea fans would be a little more gracious in victory after winning the equivalent of the footballing lottery. But what do we get? Every spineless Chelsea-supporting chav and moron from West London to John-o-Groats imparting their footballing knowledge on the rest of us mere-mortals, lauding their team's exploits and pontificating about just how great it is to be supporting the 'biggest' team in the world.
4) When the 'what makes a big-club' debate raises its head in the pub/office/train/etc Chelsea fans are the quickest to discount a club's history; for them it has nothing to do with past glories. I wonder why? Could it be that their 'huge' club only had sporadic moments of success before the mid-90s? Or is it that until very recently Chelsea FC has been supported by the most despicable scum known to man, who think nothing of chanting racist slogans and making 'hilarious' references to the mass extermination of a race of people at the hands of the Nazis?
5) If having bigotted, neanderthal, supporters wasn't enough, Chelsea have quite the collection of mercenaries, idiots, misogynists, cheats and primadonnas playing for them, as well as a grey toad-like creature as head coach.
6) Whilst on the subject of their playing staff, I think His Chavness Ashley Cole needs a special mention; what a ****! [PS Would anyone else here have the stupidity to cheat on Cheryl Tweedy?]
7) The plastic Chelsea fans that seemed to have spread like a rash, enveloping the UK in a new-wave of cheap track suits and Tommy Hill-FINGER chic.
8) And last, but certainly not least, the orchestrator of Chelsea's renaissance; Mr Abramovich. Okay, he may be a Russian oil oligarch who made his fortune in the fire-sale of public assets after the collapse of the Soviet Union. And he may be great friends with the Kremilin and that great promoter of human rights, Vladimir Putin. And I know he's suspected of doing a few dodgy deals here and there. But come on guys? He's not all bad. Is he? :shrug:
