As a neutral there is such an anti Chelsea feeling in football nowadays, and I think it goes down to the jealousy people have in terms of the money available to Chelsea.
I reckon if Chelsea played the national German team in a game, they'd still be more people in the UK wanting the germans to win, simply because they are playing Chelsea.
I'll happily admit I'm anti-Chelsea simply because of how they're ruining the game. They pick up players then throw them away if they don't "fit" just a like a child would, picking out sweets. Jose is definately a top manager but if he left, then they'd carrying on splashing the cash on players, leaving the rest of the pack having no chance.

In the 90s United were accused of whinging and moaning but we never had Chelsea's spending power, we were never guaranteed the best players. We never bought the title. People talk about the money spent on Rooney and Rio but we'd established ourselves long before they came along.

There's nothing wrong with a team having money to spend on players but when they refuse to accept that their success is down to that, THEN they're fair game for the rest of us to have a go.
