This post sounds negative, but i only write this because people here see Chelsea far too negative.
People see Chelsea far too negative?
- Mou goes around conjuring a storm every time he loses a point going on to blame the refs, and worst of all, the other team for parking the bus. That West Ham 'Black & Decker' comment is the perfect embodiement of this and I'm sure that's not the first time he has criticized the opposing team for the same reason.
- On top, he goes around taking cheap jabs at people, especially Wenger, calling him 'a specialist in failure'.
- The club recycles managers like plastic bottles.
- They have an mafiatic owner who throws infinte amounts of money for success, rivaled only by the likes of PSG, City, and Monaco.
- They actively hijack competitor's transfers targets. They actually practice this as a competitive strategy to weaken and disturb their opponents.
- They literally hog youth prospects, similarly, not out of need, but out of greed and fear of competition with their opponents. They have a youth team on loan worth than other premier leagues that could challenge for Euro League spot.
- On top of all the money spent in previous seasons and this summer, they went and made two high class transfers (Salah, arguably once again, to weaken Liverpool).
- On top of all this, Mou actually has the nerve to complain about lacking the players he needs.
- Instead of at least attempting entertaining footy to justify the loads of money spent (i.e. City), they play a trademark negative football not only under Mou, but also under Avram Grant and Matteo. Yeah, they get good games on and off, but we are talking about the team's identity.
I don't straight out hate Chelsea, matter of fact, I'm quite neutral. Considering all of this, I will root for Pool to win the league till the last whistle blows. IMO, Chelsea more than warrant most of the negativity they get. Most of their practices are exactly what is wrong with football today and why it looks like it ain't about to get any better.
Also, they get more than enough love to counterbalance. I'm sure they have one of the largest followings in the world and merchandise sales, etc.
