Is Chelsea The Most Hated Club In Europe?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Arsenal, ManU City all parked the bus in the Champions League this season. Only they didn't do a good job of it

Those were brave "English" displays. We're boring and destroying football. Seriously, can't you tell the difference!

Let the haters hate.

We don't play to satisfy other fans.

I'm not exactly thrilled at how defensive we were against Atleti (I doubt many Chelsea supporters are) but I just find it so hilarious how outrage some rival fans and pundits were by our performance. Some of them are literally seething, one would think that we just committed a horrendous crime against humanity.

People have this perception about Chelsea and are fully committed to believing that narrative regardless of whatever we do. At the end of the day I think we just can't let these people make us feel that we should be embarrassed by yesterday's performance and that Chelsea supporters shouldn't be proud of their team. Where were these cries of "negative football" when City played exactly the same way against Barca at the Etihad or when Arsenal did the same not only at the Allianz Arena but also when they played Dortmund away? Arsenal were stationed in their half for the majority of the game and only registered their only shot on target towards the end. Truth is, if it were so easy to do what we did yesterday then we wouldn't be the only English club left in the competition, now would we?

Arsenal, City, United parking the bus = heroic performance

Chelsea parking the bus = boring football, ultra defensive approach, ugly/prehistoric football, 90 minutes of eye bleeding etc. etc.

Hatters gonna hate. Isn't that fancy football the reason they can't get past the Group-stage? Or Quarter-finals?

Possibly. Sometimes I wonder if it's one of the most hated clubs on this forum too.

Having said that I think every supporter thinks their club is victimised in one way or another.

why is anyone surprised by the media reaction against us ,, it has long been the same ... it merely steps into hyper drive when Jose winds them up

Someone ought to tell spikey, Chelsea is not hated in Europe, but in the UK.

[gary gordon 1,777]

We are easily the most hated team in the world. Not just Europe.

We've have Roman, Jose, "Fat Frank", John Terry, "Cashly Cole" and Didier Drogba at the head of our succes for 10 years. Even though DD cleaned up his act, he was despised by everybody.

I've loved wearing my Chelsea shirts everywhere.

It's like i love pissing people off

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Don't know about you guys, but I just love basking in all the hatred and jealousy. Especially if it is coming from some butt-hurt loser trying to sell some self-righteous crap about the "right" way to play football. It's not a victory if you don't piss a few people off.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

We've never really been liked.

A lot of modern fans hate us because of money & success.

A lot of old school fans hate us because they got battered by us.

[Madmax 9,219]

Yes, but don't care either way. Carefree ...

I think that is probably true and I am sure we are not hated world wide.
