Thing is at white hart lane I barely hear a Chelsea song. If we are playing them then obviously the atmosphere is usually really good and we give them sh**, but in general we barely sing about them. Chelsea have no real rivalry apart small time friendly club Fulham, so they latch onto the Spurs hatred thing.

They are technically still at war with Armenia. Arsenal had to leave Mkhitaryan back in London when they travelled there for a group game.

The problem is that although Arsenal are our main rivals and always will be Chelsea and West Ham fans hate us with a passion that the very dull and middle class gooners just can't generate. Hence the lines have got blurred.

Both Chelsea and West Ham fans don’t have a natural rival of their own, so latch onto us. It’s either us or Arsenal and historically Arsenal have always been the bigger, more successful club. As such, these two tin pot outfits (especially West Ham) have tried to cherry pick their rivalry in a way that gives them more chance of a bragging right. Even West Ham’s disgusting small time owners have tried to hop on the bandwagon.
Shame then for West Ham that we don’t give a fack about them as a perceived rival, and that we have massively left them behind in terms of our off field growth as a club and our on field progress. All they have is their bi-annual cup final against us, the only meaningful date in a West Ham fans calendar, the pathetic miserable losers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Historical crowd trouble plays its part in it as well. When Chelsea visited Spurs in 1975 it was a blood bath and stories of that day get passed down from father to son.

Inclusivity innit. No doubt some brown envelopes have been exchanged along the way.
It’s like all this bollox about ‘positive acceptance of women’s football’. That would be fine if the standard wasnt like facking non-league. I’m facking sick of hearing about women’s football and being told we should accept it as a proper sport, fack off, nobody cares, it’s crap. Same goes for all these women pundits polluting the men’s game. Was a facking relief to see Lineker, Ferdinand and Hoddle on the CL gig last night and not some no-mark tart that no ones heard of just because it’s on-trend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Next the women footballers will want equal pay, something their tennis players are always bleating on about.
Yeh women’s football is awful. They were talking about it on talksport earlier making a thing out of radio coverage on talksport of the women’s World Cup. Give a f**!!!

I watched the Arsenal game until they got their 2nd then jumped ship to Chelsea and both games had a very after the lord majors show feeling about them.
I personally would like to see the game abandoned due to both teams fighting on the pitch. From there I would like to see both teams banned from Europe for at least 5 years and they can give the cup to Ajax or somebody else, Fulham for all I care
As this wont happen I would want a chelsea win but only because they are already in the CL and it would mean woolwich wont be yet again

Oh yeah, you get some half decent ones. I mean generally speaking most women sportsman either look like blokes or the arrse end of a pig. But there’s always that 10% of decent crumpet worth looking out for - in fact the only positive thing about women’s football is the chance of seeing some decent Bristol’s bouncing about.

Europa League final: Arsenal & Chelsea fans face difficult trip to Baku
There are currently no direct scheduled flights between London and Baku in the week of the final.
If you want to fly to the game on the day then a lengthy wait in somewhere like Istanbul or Kiev would be needed.
The quickest journey by air on the day of the final takes six hours 55 minutes, with the majority lasting more than 10 hours.
The only way to fly direct to Baku for the game would be to leave London on the Saturday beforehand and return a week later, three days after the trophy has been lifted.
That's an eight-day trip for 90 minutes of football - and for a game which kicks of at 11pm local time (20:00 BST), so will not finish until around 1am!
So what about the train?
It takes more than four days to travel from London to Baku on public transport, passing through seven countries. Anyone who watched BBC Two's Race Across the World will know it might also involve some less-than-first-class rail conditions.
The whole journey would likely include 11 changes and a two-day train journey from Kharkiv in Ukraine to Baku.

They were probably expecting Carrier bag and shaktar something in the final.
Have you heard about the ticket allocation for their final? I thought ours was bad....but they get 6000 tickets each! Lucky it is such a hard trip to make, as not many will be making it!
