For starter you use the word rival wrong. But in a footballing sense I know what you mean. Rival, noun 1. One who attempts to equal or surpass another, or who pursues the same object as another; a competitor. 2. One that equals or almost equals another in a particular respect. 3. Obsolete A companion or an associate in a particular duty. I find it hilarious that you consider Leeds a rival. What year is this 1972? http://www.footballf...red_Results.pdf Sure only 2800 people took that survery but that is 2799 more opinons than you can offer. And this is in 2003, so the Man Utd v Chelsea rivalry isn't new. Besides it looks like the majority of Chelsea fans (in the UK) consider ManUtd to be our third main rivals after Arsenal and Tottenham. Unless you speak for the many, many fans in the UK and you can vouch for the feelings of those supporters, you know nothing. The supporters make the rivalry not the damn clubs.
