I’m with you mate. I’m a Surrey/ South London lad, so you can guess the vast majority of my mates growing up all Chelsea. I detest these Cunts with a passion. Woolwich obviously i naturally despise and hate their fans, but Chelsea is personal. Unless you’re from my neck of the woods, you will never know. Had years of these bastards take the piss out of Spurs growing up.
I grew up in south London too and while I immediately took onboard the rivalry with Woolwich cos of who and where they are I despise Chelsea for what they are. In the 80’s the Right-Wing/NF links can’t be overlooked. In the PL era it’s been the dirty Russian money (& their unfathomable dominance over us!).
I had a book published a couple of years ago on London football fan culture, focussing on rivalries. This one has a particularly nasty history going back, as far as I could tell, to the 1967 Cup Final.
Anyway, I don’t care what optimistic media bollocks comes out if the club, it’s obvious we have an inferiority complex when it comes to Chelsea. Our record is shameful. In spite of their current malaise, I’m fully expecting these cunts to ‘turn up’ on Sunday - exactly the fixture they need right now….calling Dr Tottenham
