No mate, I’m a Chelsea fan of over 15 years and I hate what Chelsea has become. Chelsea are ruining football and ruining the club. Roman, Kenyon, Ancelotti and Arnesen all need to fuck off and we need to bring back Vialli or get Zola back as manager.

I know I sound like an old fart but i remember going to the horrible places when Chelsea played in the old Second division, every dog has its day and we are just having ours ! Tell me no other club buys players ? They only say we buy the cups and Euro places cos we can afford the finest players tell me a team that wouldnt buy the best for themselves if they could afford it ?

As one who only recently became interested in this sport, I had to decide who I wanted to support. (Not that I can actually support any real clubs over here in the US.) I watched the 2006 World Cup and fell in love with this game. I looked through all the players on the “big” EPL clubs to see how many I recognized. I seriously considered supporting Chelsea because I’d watched so many of their players in the World Cup.

In the end, I selected the team with the player that I most enjoyed watching – Arsenal for Henry. I just love watching that man play (even though he couldn’t stay onside at the World Cup to save his life). He’s brilliant and seems to genuinely enjoy the game. Nothing better than that. I guess the biggest question for me is whether or not I will continue to “support” Arsenal if he ever transfers. Since I can’t watch the games over here, I can’t get to know the other Arsenal players. That is a really bad thing…

The fact is in my mind chelsea fans reputation will never stretch beytond the chelsea head hunters, or cocky little chelsea chavs, but thats for another day.

I am a loyal spurs fan, but have had a soft spot for chelsea in the days of Hullit, Viali and Ranieri. I liked the way they played football, and the ethos of the club.

However that is now a distant memory.

Both on and off the field the club is moving futher away from the roots of the game.

My hatred of Chelsea now is not jealousy as when i liked them they where a lot more succsessful than my team (spurs) and had a 10 year hoodoo over us. My hatred is purley based on Mourinho, Kenyon and Abrhamovic and there phylosiphy that they have the right to do pretty much what they want to.

Like all empires it will one-day crumble, i just hope for the good of the game its sooner rather than later.

Can’nt change support from one team to another??? Tell that to the masses of ‘new’ blue shirt wearing, glory hunters we all now see walking down the high streets of Britain everyday. 4 years ago you’d be lucky to see 2 chelsea shirts in a day, it was all Man Utd & Arsenal shirts being worn, now, those same trophy hunters are wearing Blue AND everyone of them claim to be ‘lifelong supporters’of the Chelsea.
Then again,I’m not just having a dig, at the Chelski, how many Liverpool supporters suddenly appeared on the streets after their brilliant Euro Champ win?? How many more Arse*** shirts where on display after their unbeaten season??
To be honest, there are true club supporters & then the majority of people who just ‘claim’ to be.
Come on you Spurs….:)

I’m a Chelsea fan and have been all my life. It’s fantastic to have a bit of sucess after years of disapointments and fairly tough times, especially during the 80′s. It really gets to me how people hate Chelsea so much for winning. Let us have our moment and i’m sure in a few years it’ll be time for another club to have there moment. All the best

i find it hard 2 belive that grown men such as yourself are still fighting over some persons decision to admire another club such as chelsea.He has already stated that he only supports Manchester Untd(although they are useless) and not any other team.You are all gay and chelsea is the best team in the world.Have a good day .

After supported Chelsea since 1969 it is liking winning the lottery to have afilthy rich and incredible interested fan-owner after people like Ken Bates and others have done their best to destroy the club I loved through bad and bad and worse and now, it is simply lovely. It is trully much more fun being the best than not being the best. (Still I would have supported Chelsea even had Bates managed to destroy even more than he did, he did some good too but hiring Ranieri was not one of those things). That is what being a supporter is all about, loving your club through the bad and really bad hoping to experience what we are living today, a dream come true. Thanks for a non-biased article on Chelsea. They are rare today.

Surely this article is some kind of joke?

What kind of fan can “change” their allegiance? Surely this is some sort of post-modern satire on the transience of the contemporary football supporter?

don’t think anyone bothered to read the Yahoo! article – if you see what it says, you’ll get the idea that there are MANY billionaire owners in football who treat it as a business and cut a good ol’ profit line – I can see Dave Whelan at Wigan giving that kind of support, but Steinbrenner’s being doing that for 30 odd years – if you own a football team man, you are RICH. If you are willing to risk some of that cash, you can have some of the best bloody teams in the world. Knowing Ahmed, he wouldn’t switch teams the way he wouldn’t switch his brain with someone – I think the point he’s trying to make is hypothetical, and really valid. I’d love to see a list of billionaire owners and club margins in the EPL.
