Chelsea have been voted the most hated team in the Premier League. 

We are least surprised.

Let’s face it, Chelsea FC are hated. This fact isn’t subject to any form of debate. Ever wondered why people loathe the club so much? The reasons (my point of view) are two and are not far-fetched. From observation, most of their fans are aggressive and loud-mouthed. No apologies!

Chelsea fans are ubiquitous. In a football viewing center consisting of 50 fans, 25 support The Blues, others root for Manchester United, Arsenal and the rest. 15 out of the 25 will shout you down when you say anything against the club, the other 10 only watch and nod in agreement or disagreement. The ones that are active on social media will shut the internet down when they win and maintain pin-drop silence when they lose. Infact they come after supporters of other clubs and remind them of how their manager has failed to produce an epl title over the years. (Whispers Arsenal)  or how they walloped them 5-0 several seasons ago. Don’t get me wrong, fans of other club do this too but Chelsea fans take the lead.

The second reason, Jose Mourinho. He revels in conflict. His inflammatory statements and personal attacks on colleagues and (other) football players excite not a few Chelsea fans. Infact, during one of his reigns at the club, he criticized their supporters saying he found their lack of noise (have Chelsea fans ever lacked noise?) frustrating adding that they make it difficult for his players.
