The poster boys for the nouveau riche football club as they spent their way to the top (and consistent success rarely breeds affection from rival fans). They had Jose Mourinho in charge for years, which didn’t do their image any good, while the incident with Dr Eva Carneiro was extremely unsavoury. Add to that John Terry and Diego Costa, and it’s tough to love Chelsea (if you're not a Chelsea fan, that is). Antonio Conte could change that this season, though.
For years it was ‘Anyone But United’, the Red Devils’ dominance in the 90s and much of the noughties led them to be disliked by many.
