Liverpool and Chelsea "The Rivalry"

Joshytoohotty · January 16, 2006

At the moment it's really just a manifestation of the press.

It all actually started with that match at Stamford Bridge where they beat us to get into Europe, they then beat us the following season at Anfield with that flukey last minute goal and it's continued to develop from there.

Obviously the Gerrard to Chelsea stories and the Russian's investment have allowed it to get really heated and with the encounters last season it hit boiling point.

Now I know it will never be in the same league as the Blues**** and Man United but at the moment we're the best 2 sides in the league and I can see that developing. If we're constantly challenging each other for the the top honours then inevitably a rivalry will develop.

Cockneys are also not too highly thought of around Anfield and the arrogance and condescending attitude of Chelsea fans in paticular does make you want to puke. Any fans that wave 20 pound notes at football are especially vomit enducing.

Added to the fact that so many prize beauts such as Terry and Lampard are in that team it does make Chelsea a very hateful team, easily as hateful objectively as the Mancs although I'll always hate them far more than Chelsea for obvious reasons- although I'm not sure that fans of other sides would.

Then you have c***s such as Mourinho,Kenyon and Abramovich involved at a high level, constantly trying to undermine us. Mourinho with his comments about how we picked him over Raffa but he said no, and if this story about them trying to sign Simao and then loan him back out to Benfica then the level of hatred is only going to increase.

I don't paticularly have a problem with a rivalry developing, I've never liked Chelsea because as I said earlier, the majority of their fans are a bunch of vomit enducing chavs. As long as people don't start considering Chelsea on the same level as the Mancs and the Bitters then it makes for a healthy rivalry and a better atmosphere at the matches.

I'm not one to hate sides for no reason, I always had respect for Arsenal when they were at their best although admitedly how sickeningly good they were contrasted with our state at the time was very hard to stomach.

But this Chelsea side is especially hateful, their dodgy decisons that refs grant them, Andy Gray constantly creaming himself over them and their flukey deflected goals, and as I stated various members of the personal make the whole club very easy to hate.

They'll never be near the Mancs and the Bitters but could Chelsea become a distant 3rd? In many people's mind they probably already are a distant 3rd.
