I may be an oddity amongst Liverpool fans these days, but I dislike Chelsea more than I dislike United, for the simple reason that I find their fans to have an unflappable arrogance that far outstrips their team's relatively meager achievements, the fact is without Abramovic's billions Chelsea would still be a small club. Whilst I don't overly like United, at least they actually earnt some of their success, rather than buying it like Chelsea have.
Perhaps not even that. People rarely seem to mention Chelsea nearly went bankrupt before he came in and rescued them. It's like a conveniently forgotten part of history.

Speaking of Chelsea, one of my favourite matches is Chelsea 2 - 3 Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, in October 2000 if i recall correctly.
Chelsea led 2-0 with 20 minutes to go, then on came Nwankwo Kanu to score a hat-trick, with this glorious goal as the winner: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Czmy4iOOhIA

Good times.
