Man City Away?

[District Line]

It always amuses me when Chelsea fans get miffed about their "rivals" being more concerned with other teams. It's almost as if QPR and Fulham are their proper rivals and no one else gives two ****s about them.

I don't get miffed I welcome other fans here (so long as they conduct themselves appropriately). It just amuses me that so many Spurs fans were on here giving it large 6 weeks ago saying they would win the league and FA cup etc and all of a sudden numbers are massively declining

You kind of missed the point, DL. My point is that your fans give off the impression that you're big rivals with United, Arsenal and us but we're all far more concerned with our local rivalries.

Yid

If you're not concerned about us just why the **** are you camped on here 24/7?

There you go again, with the false sense of importance. I'm not camped on your board, I post far more on the Spurs board and probably more on the Arsenal board too

hmmm slightly false statement there. All I heard when we won the league was hateful envious comments from fans of other clubs

Ah the glorious uncertainty of critics ! Read a couple of international articles where Kalou was rated our second best player. Lively, attacking, always available,was the way he was described. I only saw it on TV, but thought he was all of the above. Personally, I can never see anything good in Cole. Others don't rate Mikel. But most seem agreed on Malouda and Boswinga being dodgy. I guess we all look for something different in players, and when we don't see it we tend to say they're no good. Maybe it is in the eye of the beholder ??
Should add, I am a Luiz fan, make of that what you will !!!!

I'm a Luis fan too. His defending has improved immensely IMO. Thought Mikel had his best game for ages against Brum but we have to realise it was Brum. I honestly couldn't see anything positive from Kalou other than the miss-kick which led to our first goal. But like you say, we all look at it differently.

 

[luckywerthers]

it looked to me that every time kalou got the ball he ran about 3 yards then gave it away !! luiz is definitely improving in every aspect, i mean he has even mastered giving the opposing centre forward a good boot in the head and getting away with it trick. I just love the little "what me" look he has on his face afterwards.

I also remember winning the double and scouse fans coming up to me in the pub and thanking us for saving their record.
As I was quick to remind them, we didn't do it for them, we did it for ourselves.

Yep, I'm sure United didn't give two ****s about us taking their title a couple of times either(!)

Totally different. Rivalry when you're challenging for the same trophy is natural but the surprise that they don't still treat you as rivals when you're 20 points behind explains the difference in how you see the rivaly.

How do you know they don't treat it as rivalry? You go on their board and ask how many of them hate us and hate losing to us more than most of the teams in the prem

Liverpool, City and Leeds will always be their stronger rivals but to say they don't treat us as rivals is false.

Alright then, I'll take your point on that.

You guys don't seem to have any longterm, big rivalries though. There's never been much rivalry with Fulham and you took losing your first league game against QPR surprisingly well.

You're only rivals with LeFilth cos they got kicked out of Woolwich when they were bankrupt!

Yep but it's still a long standing rivalry.

I half agree, you're right about Fulham although some Chelsea fans will strongly dislike them. QPR or you lot are probably our strongest rivals, always big police turn out for those games. Not as strong as you and Arsenal but there are 4 teams in West London.

Did you see the match thread after the 1-0 to QPR?

Nah, it has always been Tottenham and West Ham in truth, then probably Arsenal and Leeds not to far behind.

Everyone differs. Arsenal have never bothered me as much as others. All depends on where in London you're from!

Agree there YV, we've never had a rival as such. That's why it amazes me we are ahead of Spurs in the lost hated London club.

We get it from all corners, the South London clubs like Milwall and Palace where a lot of our fans are based, then of course Fulham and QPR seem to dislike us for some reason (West), Arsenal and Spurs hate us and so of course do the Spammers

That's the thing with Chelsea, as we don't have a main rival it's always sentimental. I think all if not 99% of Chelsea fans, certainly 100% of pre-RA fans hate Tottenham, same with West Ham.

I don't know a Chelsea fan that hates QPR or Fulham so maybe it's just me, there are no songs about them like there are with Spurs, West Ham, Arsenal etc.

I hate Spurs, West Ham and Arsenal with a passion but I have slightly more time for Arsenal because unlike West Ham and Spurs fans they have something to brag about (or Had!).

Tottenham and West Ham haven't been good since the 80s yet their fans think they are the dogs bollocks
