No one likes Chelsea apart from Chelsea fans, Sorry should say no one likes the way chelsea are buying there way into History, thet won't be remebered for being a great club, only for spending Millions.

----------------------

I don't mind chelsea and I don't support them. Don't really understand the hatred to be honest. So they've got money, and what? Liverpool have just been bought out by two minted yanks!

one thing i'm hearing all the time after our win is Chelsea was lucky for the first goal blah blah blah? it's true but since the media hate Chelsea as everyone else, they overshadow our win and only points to the lucky goal. Strangley these are the same comments that come from Liverpool fans & Man Utd. But, one thing i fail to understand is that why didn't the media overshadow Liverpool's win at Nou Camp because Bellamy goal was pure LUCK! Valdes lost his footing, which is uncommon and that kinda of goal will never pass through the hands of our might Cech. Man Utd get's lucky three weeks in a row @ Fulham, Lille,Liverpool and all we hear from the media and their fans is "12 points clear Chelsea", "what a goal by Ronaldo", "what a dramitic win at anfield". None said Liverpool got lucky at Nou Camp to be Barca? and if it wasn't for the away goal rule, don't think Liverpool would've survived last night? None of the Man utd fans admit they were lucky in all those 3 games? Even Fergie got pissed when Jose told him, he's riding on luck latetly and tdold Jose to shut up!?
And, surprisingly if Chelsea wins, the media and haters talk about the players salaries, the transfer fees, our billionare owner, and that we're lucky! Please english fans grow-up, give credit were its due, accept defeat, don't hate someone because he's richer than you, and to make matters worse a foreigner! Anyways, good win for Chelsea, looks like we can go all the way this yr!

You can say that about a lot of other clubs. Arsenal have got an arrogance about them as well i.e. the kind of mentality over the last two years that they should have one something by right of who they are(they still haven't got over Utd beating them to end their run a few years back). And Liverpool that are still living in the past with their rich history. They haven't won a domestic league for 19 years but season after season thinks it's their right to be getting medals.

It happens with all the big clubs and, in all honesty, it seems to me that you're jumping on the bandwagon of hating chelsea becuase they're the current big team. (Let's see what happens after this season though)

Shepherd - get back to 'worrying' your sheep.
Chelsea have played their way to sucess with some great football and performances from their players, yeah that cost money, too much for most of them, but that doesnt guarantee you anything, bar abuse should you fail. Well they havent failed. Fergie, humble?? Get a life
he's been everything but humble...outfoxed by JM and the lucky streak could be about to run out...injuries at this stage of the season, never good news.

Chealsea should let mourinho go
hes made poor decisions this season
Ballack and shevy dont suit the premiership
Mikel keeps getting sent off
and theres a lot better managers than him
hes just waiting for real madrid or barcelona to come knocking and hell be out

Thank you for your wonderful comments on this issue. You just said what exactly Chelsea fans experience in Johannesburg, South Africa.

i have never being disapointed with the chelsea abilty,but my only problem is that we don't always give our best in first half.whether our rivals like it or not we are the best,even in nigeria,other fans never appreciate what "the special one" is doing.it piss me off when i hear people making noise about RA wasting money on players and even uefa also complain too.where were all these people when ac milan (belusconi)was buying all the best players available in the 90's and madrid(florentino perez) at turn of this century?what our critics fail to accept is that chelsea is standing between what use to be two horse show,why are other club looking for foreign investors to inject money into their club because money is the name of the game.madrid bought beckham because of the commercial gain,now they are crying fowl because he is leaving them.talk about the new contract sign by the premiership,ROMAN lets play the game the way it should be.

Mourinho would be a key asset for chelsea future domination not only in english football, but in europe as well, if he stayed. but rumours of abramovich fall out with him,& selling the team are just devastating for the club. this is typically russian style of doing business. people here in this great country of football & democracy, sometimes don't know how russians are. once they get richer, to show it , they use others as their dogs. they may use their servants backs as their tables on them they eat, drink. this is the mentality of abramovich, here. but mourinho is a very western, straight and outspeaking his mind. abromovich wanted to use chelsea for his own popularity, but now he sees mourinho gaining more popular than him, that's why he's fed up. nobody from western civilised countries can do business with russians. i know them, have been there, they impulsive and aggressives. let's wait and see. jjb
