my major issue with chelsea is the hideously ugly brand of direct football they play. Say what you like about it being effective and them winning trophies, that's fine but they still play fucking ugly football. Utd are world renowned for playing fast paced, attractive attacking football and for that reason I'd pick them over those posh London pricks every single time, and I'm a Liverpool fan.
Also, it is true utd have spent a lot of cash on players, but the majority of those players have been worth it. Ok Veron was a massive waste and I'm not convinced by Hargreaves yet but Vidic has been amazing this season. Carrick had a shaky start but has more than proved his worth now. Ronaldo, Rooney and Van Nistleroy have all proved to be inspired purchases, even if they were expensive.
Compare that with the massive waste of money spent by Chelsea on Sheva, Ballack, SRP, Boulahrouz and Obi Mikel and I think it is quite evident that Mourinho has significantly more money than sense at his disposal. In fact the core squad (Terry, Lampard, Cech, Cole) were all bought by Ranieri. The only real quality I've seen him introduce has been Essien and Drogba. Plus he's a cunt with a shit attitude and this has rubbed off on many of his squad.
In essence, I dont like Chelsea because they play shit football, have a disgusting arrogance about them at all times and are prepared to waste vast amounts of money on players that bring nothing to their squad.
