Which team are Chelsea's biggest rivals in England

[Shogun 721]

hard to say as apart from QPR/Fulham then no club you'd associate as your rivals would have Chelsea as top of their rivals.

Arsenal and Tottenham would rank each other higher.

Manchester United would rank City and Liverpool higher.

Liverpool would rank Everton and United higher.

It's always a tricky subject. Simply because we don't have a "Local" rival that we are also competitive with.

For example United and City, are both local and competitive. But united has been a major opposition of liverpool for decades.

Liverpool everton also compete on both fronts.

Tottenham and arsenal arn't exactly local, but are "generally" competitive.

For me, over the last 10 years united are our "biggest rivals", challenging for titles, and having lots of close games.

But i suppose "we hate tottenham", are the team we all are supposed to hate the most.

Man U

Spurs - as well because my brother in law loves them.

Personally I find it hard to separate manUre and the yids for complete unadulterated hatred

For anyone who says Spurs. We as Champions of Europe need better rivals than some chickens from North London.

To be called a rival is a privilege. We have this privilege from the point of view of Spurs, who can blame them, we're fucking pride of London. But they surely don't deserve this privilege from us. They can't even get in TOP 4. They're shit.

The only team who deserves this privilege is Manchester United and I consider them our biggest rivals (in England).

It doesn't matter what position they are. Cunts are still cunts and that's why we hate them. You'll won't find two many sets of supporters that utterly detest us Chelsea supporters as much as those yids.

Spurs and Liverpool. Absolutely despise them!

And hate United and Arsenal!!

[HRiver 1,512]

Competitively - United.

In terms of pure hatred - Liverpool. Not a 'rivalry' as such because we fight for different objectives; this is just bad blood.

^ This.

Can't be bothered to hate United - their fans are pretty pathetic on the whole.

Liverpool - rivalry is pretty much over now they're shit, but they could re-emerge especially with cunts like Suarez in their ranks. Their fans are amogst the worst.

London teams - Fulham are too nice, QPR are pitiful, Arsenal fans lost the will to hate not long after they lost the will to win.

Millwall - everyone hates them but if we played them more regularly it would be a tasty rivalry.

Spurs - again, we've battered them over so many years that we've started to look for new and interesting ways to mug them off. Unsettling their best players and keeping them out of the CL in the unlikeliest of circumstances is just taking the piss and they know it. Still a great atmosphere at the matches.

Leeds - oh Leeds.....again, probably the biggest and best rivalry we've got in my opinion. It's got history, violence, vitriole and the 5-1 Cup win was a nice reminder that Leeds still exist and their fans are still scum.

So Leeds is my own personal choice although inevitable when you grow up watching the 1970 Cup Final and Replay on a battered old VHS. It's a multi-layered, decades old rivalry of flash and panache versus grim, Northern, down t'pit workmanlike performances.

Wycombe Wanderers, obviously.

I dislike just about everything in Man United!

But I think Tottenham would be the biggest rival

[Leif 6,006]

Rival by definition according to Google is: "A person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity."

2nd definition: "Compete for superiority with; be or seem to be equal or comparable to."

Liverpool are certainly not competing for the same objective or for superiority over us! They're just dicks

I think that definition would only apply to Manchester United really. You could say Arsenal but they don't compete with us at all in Europe or in the cups. Neither to Tottenham.

But I do understand people saying Tottenham/Arsenal/Liverpool.

Gotta be spurs. specifically over the last 3 seasons. they've been at that top 4 spot, we mugged them right off last seasons with our champions league final win, and we look to have done them over this year.

Arsenal and Man utd are also up there as well. I would say QPR as well, but not until they become some kind of threat in terms of football.

so yeah, i think i'd say spurs for the moment.

I remember I mentioned the textbook definition of 'rivalry' once on TC...I was promptly told to fuck off by many members...
