History on Why chelsea and arsenal rivals...manchester united and liverpool?
Arsenal's biggest rivals are Tottenham, because they are very close to each other, so normal 'derby' rivalry, but mainly it started back in the early 1900's when Tottenham qualified to join the football league, and Arsenal didn't, but Arsenal had friends on the league commitee and they promoted Arsenal to the league instead of Tottenham, so we have hated them ever since, also they dont like us because we are a jewish owned club!! Chelsea's biggest rivals have always been West Ham and Millwall, because of fighting between their hooligans, and also until Abramovich put all the money in, Chelseahave always been a small club, and are usually in the lower divisions!! Man U and Liverpool is due to the close proximity of the cities, and the huge success of both clubs!! Utd have a big rivalry with Man City also. Liverpool and Everton have a big rivalry also, but it is the friendliest rivalry of any big clubs, because so many families in Liverpool are split into reds and blues!!
Which one is the best: Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester United?
Try being more specific in asking this. In which way are you trying to ask this question? Best in what terms?There can be many ways :Trophies - Manchester United is the winner by far.Gameplay at this time - Arsenal play a game that you will enjoy watching the most being a neutral and new-to-the-game fan. If you can observe movements and praise defending equally, Chelsea too play a very disciplined game right now. Manchester United are a mess these days.Gameplay in history - Both Arsenal and Manchester United have been famous since early days for playing beautiful games. Chelsea entered the race very late(after 1990's).Current powers - The powers of all these three are non-comparable. They all have owners willing to spend but with Jose Mourinho leading Chelsea, they are certainly having a very controlled expenditure and it has been very efficient as well. And Abramovic is an owner who obviously knows when to switch his manager, this is where Arsenal lack behind as of now(IMO).Current status - Manchester United have their fans wanting for more and more of their team but being in support whatever happens. Same is for Arsenal. But the problem is that they are not delivering to their fans. Whereas Chelsea fans are delighted with how they perform and give results. With Chelsea being one of the biggest superpowers in Europe since last few years, they are doing great.Current team - Again, Chelsea wins here. The team they have in starting XI is one that can not be considered anything but Best in England as well as at par with those in Europe.Manchester United have a team very well built but their defence comes in to question many times.Arsenal squad lacks superstar name but with addition of Ozil and Sanchez while Cazorla already standing tall(pun intended), they do well now. While they also have the X-Factor that Chelsea lack in their approach.Good luck deciding.
When Manchester United fans tease Chelsea fans about John Terry's missed penalty...?
Yeah, I certainly will!
What do Arsenal fans make of the draw against Manchester United?
CONS:It was a poor match .Manchester United, a team which was in a very pity form, completely outclasses us. There was no edge to Arsenal attacks, defence looked shaky most of the time, passing was below average.Team selection according to me was questionable as well . Why start with Monreal , who has been miserable all this season, instead of Kiren Gibs. Ramsey on the left wing has turned out to be a useless tactic , he cam only play good as a box to box midfielder. Even in the midfield, why start elneny when you have a 35million player palying well for you.PROS:Giroud might not be the first choice striker solution to Arseal’s title quest, but he certainly is a world class 2nd choice striker. With his height and physical strength he provides a new dimention to the game. Crosses in the box suddenly start looking meaningful. He definitely is an impact substitute(or a Super Sub if you may).Arsenal certainly have made an improvement in the sense that they have stopped giving up. Past few years had been miserable for arsenal because they shut down when they concead.This season hasn't been that, arsenal have showed determination to come back in the game.
How do true MAN UTD fans feel when they are called glory hunters because of the actual glory hunters?
My answer is purely from an Indian perspective.Firstly who qualifies to be a true Man Utd fan ? None of us are Manchester born which doesn't makes us natural/true United fans.Truth is most footy fans in India are/were glory hunters at some level or another.The key point is can you make a transition from being a glory hunter to a so called "true fan" (frankly, i hate the use of this word). An example :an Arsenal fan who fell in love with invincible team and has continued his support for the team through these 8 trophyless years isn't a gloryhunter anymore,but was he a glory hunter in 2003 ? Yes he was.Same with Indians who became Liverpool fans after Istanbul, Chelsea during Mourinho's reign(I haven't met a pre-Abrahamovic Indian Chelsea fan :p,those that claim to be are lying :D) and Man city more recently.Isn't this glory hunting ?I find it wierd that the term glory hunters is used just in reference to United fans.If you are still persistant about not wanting to be/having been a glory hunter,how about supporting Stoke City,or DiCanio's Sunderland ?erm or do you fancy West Ham ?
Who to support Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City or Tottenham?
Some of you may have seen my previous question where I asked what English Premier League team I should support but it somehow that expired (I'm new to Yahoo Answers so I was unaware it would do that) and I'm still unsure of who I want to support. I've narrowed it down to Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Tottenham but I still have concerns about each. Arsenal supposedly doesn't have a big investor so do you guys think this will be a problem in their future? Chelsea is pretty old, do they have any good young players or plans for the future? Can Manchester City ever really be as good as United and is the club as left wing as the city? Will Tottenham ever really compete with Arsenal and will they end up having to sell Gareth Bale? I know that is a lot to post and no one will have the answers to all of those questions but if you can help me with answering any of them it would be really helpful. Thanks
What are some great ways to insult a Chelsea fan?
Tell him Abhishek Bachchan is a "die-hard" fan of Chelsea!Even uglier, tell him the movie "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom" was shot at Stamford Bridge and apparantly CFC were proud to be associated with the film.Ah! The agony of a Chelsea Fan.
As Chelsea fans, whom should we consider our biggest rival?
Interesting question. I for one, don’t think Chelsea have one rival above all others. An easy way to identify this would be to ask match-going fans which is the last club they want to see win the title.Liverpool and Everton would nominate each other; as would Man City and Utd, Arsenal and Tottenham, Newcastle and Villa, etc.The only fans who would nominate Chelsea are probably QPR. Our traditional rivals are Fulham who also happen to be from West London; but given the vast difference in fortunes the rival is sort of cordial.Ask the local Chelsea fans which is the last club they want to see win the title - the older folk would probably nominate Leeds, QPR and Tottenham; younger ones would probably go for Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham.Overseas fans would probably nominate Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. That is basically a reflection of the fans they meet on a regular basis and wouldn’t want to see them have any bargaining rights.
