why do you follow the media against chelsea?

No you try to open your eyes and see what everybody else See's.\nChelsea are a team of thugs. next time a decision goes against Chelsea watch how many player surround the ref. And what about the referee meeting the Chelsea manager to try to help him, " LIKE he does will all the other managers" ...."NOT"

The fault lies squarely at the door of the media.\nThe xenophobia they display is sickening.\nJohnny Foreigner - how dare he beat England!\nThe stupid English fans (and most of them are of under-average intelligence) believe this rubbish and get hurt when they don't win.\nBeing unable to express themselves in any other way, they turn to hatred of other countries.\nIt is not a majority of fans, it is most of them.\nwhen England played Trinidad and Tobago in the World Cup, most of them were facing in the opposite direction from the pitch to shout racist abuse at the T&T fans.\nOnly when England finally scored (through a foul by Crouch) did they take an interest in the game.\nOther country's fans go to competitions in a party mood.\nEngland prepare for a war.\nEngland fans are predominantly scum and when the team exits competitions, every other country is relieved.\nThe 'world beating' players of England are then pilloried in the press and the fans look for scapegoats, usually finding a foreigner whose fault it was, courtesy of The Sun.\nThis year the England fans were labelled 'the best fans in the World'.\nBy whom?\nThe English!\nBut as soon as the process ends, it begins anew.\nThe idiots here saying England will win the World Cup in four years are already fooled into a false premise - that which states England have a divine right to win everything.\nThere is nothing wrong with getting behind your team and looking to games with hope.\nA seething hatred for the opposition is something else.\nEngland generally scrape through qualifying stages of World Cups and the fans learn nothing from this.\nThey still think they are world-beaters because The Sun told them so.\nIt would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetic.\nIt was also predictable that you would be accused of being Scottish.\nI might be and I can say for Scotland's size, we do well for a country our size.\nThere have been enough competitions in my lifetime Scotland has qualified for when England stayed at home but the people on here know nothing beyond yesterday's Sun.\nBut that's them looking for a foreigner to blame again.\nBut you know, it's all going to repeat itself and the idiot fans will be here in four years blaming some Argentinian/German/Swede or whoever and the likes of us can come here and point out the errors of their ways.\nIt is rather good sport, if a little easy, to catch little englanders on a baited hook.

all profesional sports are run by the media... completely... sponsorship and advertising dollars drive the direction of the teams... the teams with the most backing will ultimately win... players are paid to shave points but not make it look obvious...

Personally, I am a Man Utd fan, and 'off the field' I say they are the best.\n\nBut, the players, on paper, I say Chelsea.  Not because of the lead in the league, but simple due to the players that have been brought in to 'artifically' boost their stock.\n\nNow, someone below mentioned Man Utd using their 'home grown' talent, and sure there's a couple, but, Ronaldo, Park, van der Saar, howard, heinze, evra, Vidic, Saha, Rooney, Ruud.... those don't look home grown to me.  But, at least they do have some home growns in there.\n\nOne thing that Man Utd has more of though is heart.  Them boys are playing very well right now, and the silverspoons in London have to at least be noticing it a little, even if that egotist manager doesn't think so.\n\nBut, I give mourinho credit, be design or chance, he has managed to hog a lot of spotlight to keep if off his players, so I guess the show isn't all that bad.\n\nGo Man U - I am sure newcastle is rooting for ya since this collapse would take them off the mantle of having had the biggest one.\n\nDo I expect it... nope.  Chelsea has a tougher schedule and are still in the FA Cup, but have enough players to do both.  the lynchpin is the game versus Man Utd.  If the devils win that, they have a chance.  if not, the Blues keep the big silver novelty plate.

I'm a fan of the Manchester united. definitely the team is the best for me. but as of now Chelsea is way up ahead in terms of points.\nRooney is cool!
353048
Becuse he is too self-centered and egoistic. He has enormous amount of talent in making Chelsea one of the best team in the history, but is ultra-confident. And we all know what over confidence can do to anybody. \n\nBtw, which club do you support?

On paper yes they have great players in every position AND pretty good back-up players.\nBut I don't think they can compare Chelsea's history with the other big English teams.\n\nSince Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea he cleared their debts and bought lots of players.\n\nIn my opinion, He is trying to make a team of galacticos same way Real Madrid did, But in his case he is balancing the team not focusing on Attacker and Mids the way Real did.\n\nBut this is hurting Chelsea, Now a lot of their supporters are glory hunters, they know nothing about pride, Honor or loving the team.\nAll they care about is "Player X and player Z plays for us" or "We won the EPL" etc....\n\nMr. Abramovich once said "..........., it's really about having fun and that means success and trophies."\nNow what will happen if they don't win any trophies?\nWhat will happen when he gets bored of all this Football and decides he will leave Chelsea.\nNo more 'Sugar Daddy' ?!\n\nWill they go in debt again?!! (hope not) but with their team's high salaries I doubt they won't\nWill their so called supporters AKA "glory hunters" support them?!\nI would really feel sorry for the REAL Chelsea supporters.\n\nFinally, I may be completely wrong, But this is the way i see it.

The media are not on the field. If Brazil can't play it's their own fault. Don't blame the media. Remember, most of us don't want Brazil to win.

I'm from Italy...\nTv is everytime full of football highlights on 'serie A' matches. When expert and journalist comments various doubtful episodes, they never have the same perspective. Someone says 'it was a penalty', other 'not at all' and so on. So, is extremely difficult to choose an unique rule. What have they to do seeing video cam? Vote?\nNot easy, not at all.

Chelsea.i've supported them since the 1980's when they were a mediocre team either fighting relegation or going for promotion season after season ie a yo yo team.I used to live only 5 minutes away from Stamford Bridge as well.So you can't blame me for enjoying whats happening there at the moment.

Excellent question!\n\nMourinho might have been successful with FC Porto, but cut his endless supply at Chelsea & he'll be left floundering! Chelsea won the Premiership 2 years in a row. Next year, let's see where they stands! If you ask me, at best Chelsea will be 3rd next year.\n\nEven with all his money, players are asking to leave the club, as they're tired of warming the bench & hardly getting a chance to play first-team football...

On the contrary.. If you look all over the world, everyone loves Manchester United. In England, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool fans hate Manchester United because they have been so successful in the past. Just like Chelsea is hated now.

To answer a part of your quesiton, the media plays to the flavor of the week crowd.  They care not the validity or weight of a story.  The only relevant thing to news media is telling the news that sells subscriptions/viewers/readers.

I'm a new fan to the game of soccer or football (whatever the hell you want to call it) and I really do enjoy watching the revs play. Although I do agree their not a real club like they have in europe but then again were not in freakin Europe. Go REVS (Play better)!

As a proud Chelsea fan ,i was disgusted with his recent behaviour,and as talented as he is ,i dont believe we need that sort of behaviour at stamford bridge,its not doing our image any good.
