why is it ok to hate chelsea and not man utd anymore? -
10-06-2007, 13:59
Especially considering the fact that most people hate chelsea because they 'win' because they spent so much money on players. I don't think its a bad thing at all. I grew up supporting newcastle amongst everyone else in the world supporting fucking man utd. i hate man utd, but appreciate that they have rooney and ronaldo cos i like those players and this is the only thing that makes me not hate them - that and the fact they haven't won everything again this year. Suddenly, however, everyone hates chelsea. I love it when newcastle beat them, pretty much because they are one of the big clubs and it's good to beat those clubs, but everyone else seems to hate them because they have lots of money to 'buy' trophies.
Forgive me if i'm wrong, but haven't man utd spent an unbelievable amount of money on players? ferdinand 29 million, veron 28 million, van nistelrooy 18 million, hargreaves 17 million, carrick 16 million, saha 10 million, rooney 25 million, ronaldo 18 million even vidic was expensive considering he was unproven at premiership level! chelsea 'big' signings: lampard 8 million, drogba 23 million, essien 23 million, robben 14 million, swp 20 million, carvalho 18 million so therefore, when did it become ok to hate chelsea and not man utd? discuss |

I don't really have a view on the whole thing. I prefer Man U to Chelsea but don't particularly like eitehr of them. Being a Newcastle fan, i love beating Man U probably more than anyone else. 45 A-Side Records Debut Release - FFAR001 - Out Now!

I detest Man Utd with a burning passion. I don't really know why, I just do.
Chelsea spent stupid money last couple of seasons, but they look set to be calming down. As for Man Utd, they have paid ridiculous sums for Carrick and now Hargreaves. Has anyone else noticed that Hargreaves was the laughing stock of Englihs football until a few decent performances for England, and suddenly he is the new Makelele? it's a joke. |

Schevchenko was nearly £30m though. Smertin cost next to nothing as well though. I hate Man Utd. Chelsea don't bother me. Even though i'm a Spurs fan i'd much rather Arsenal or Chelsea won the league than Man Utd. |

Although I am not so bothered with arsenal as much I really hate Chelsea, but only because of Jose Mourinho. He is doing the exact same thing that Arsene Wenger did when they lost the Premiership to Man Utd. Jose Mourinho has been full of excuses of how referee's are prejudice for Man Utd and against Chelsea and how his players are tired from being in the Fa and European cup. I don't like how Man Utd is turned into a "brand" and was a bit put off when the American family tookover but it's the football that is important, and at least they play fair(apart from Ronaldo's dive exploits and Rooney's tantrums), which Chelsea definately can't do. |

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. rant over  |

i hate chelsea because they bought success, literally, but i can accept
that because thats what happens in football now. what i cant accept is having a team with lampard, ballack, joe cole, drogba, shevchenko and robben but yet they play shite football and rely on individual moments of brilliance, rather than scoring goals made through expansive creative football (arsenal, spurs, man utd), to win games. i cant believe anyone who actually enjoys watching football would like chelsea to win the league, with their "things arent going well, lets hump the ball up to drogba" style of play. and by the way i thought id give you some stats jj to prove they bought the title, in romans first year in charge he spent over 190 million on players and since then he has spent over 300 million on players man u in the same time have spent around 130...........still a shit load of money but not even half of what chelsea have spent |

Yeah but Man Utd were in a much better position that Chelsea when Abramovich took over. Chelsea were pretty crap, which is why so much money was spent. Don't get me wrong, it was a ridiculous amount to spend and they wasted a lot the likes of Shevchenko, but I don't think they "bought" the league. Real MAdrid have shown that money doesn't necessarily equal success. |
