Sadly you have missed the point of the current episode.

As a neutral, i neither like or dislike chelsea, and as a leeds fan i would
give my right knacker to have chelseas money, but what fans of other teams
see in chelsea is the sheer arrogance of the men at the top, from the
blatant tapping ups, and the revealing of the gallas threat, which should be
between them only, i've seen leeds players FIGHTING with the manager, i've
seen a leeds player PUNCH norman hunter in 1987 during training, but they
never revealed it to the press, what neutral fans also see is the
spitefulness of mourinho when talking of other teams, especcially when they
beat chelsea, i myself saw a manager in o'leary have lots of money and
taking us to the brink of the CL final with it, but him been brought down to
earth again with villa who had no money, mourinho really should get a
personality because when he crashes and burns no-one is gonna help him up.
so it's not the money fans hate about chelsea, they really haven't won much
with it anyway, apart from 2 poor premiership titles, you won more tropies
under vialli i believe. it's the complete disregard and shoulder shrugging
and hatefullness that fans hate.

I would add that the Chelsea under Claudio was liked by a lot of
people. I really liked him.

And correct most of the time.

they give them stick, and are the most hated team in the world because
they have NO CLASS
they believe they can walk over the rules
they think they can buy anyone and do what they like

Ok Larry, I'll humour you before you disappear for another 6 months....
Explain 'class' and your use of it related to football. I don't want 100's
of examples of someone being without 'class' that would be far too easy,
but pray tell what examples of somebody, infact lets make it Arsenal
specific, having 'class'
Many thanks.
