I'd be very surprised if United didn't comfortably take this poll, then again it's an international forum, so we'll see.

Why do I hate United? well that's easy. I took an interest in football when a mate invited me to a Tranmere game as a youngster. My Dad, a lifelong red, realised he had missed the boat WRT getting me to follow them across the river, so set about indoctrinating me of the evils of Manchester United. It was 1991. I did as I was told and hated them, it's instilled in me, and obviously it's been helped by the fact that they have ****ing won everything since I started watching footy; I think they have only had about 3 trophyless years in that whole time.

Plus Alex Ferguson is a moaning Scottish ****
Plus over the years they have had the rub of the green with referees
Plus they always used to score in the 97th minute
Eric Cantona, Roy Keane
Gary Neville
Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney
They actually once printed "THEATRE OF DREAMS" on their home strip
They blamed their kit when losing to Southampton
Peter Schmeichel
Everyone in ****hole areas without a footy team support them, worse than that, people in areas with footy teams in the FLC/L1/L2 support United instead
Alex Ferguson got knighted off one European Cup, Paisley and Clough were never honoured in that way
I could go on

There's Chelsea equivalents to a lot of that stuff, but more to the point- Peter Schmeichel?!

What's wrong with him?

He was a great keeper, without doubt. And I enjoyed his punditry on BBC a few years back.

When he was at United he was one of the worst for rounding on the referees, having a go at the opposition players, etc etc, also, red nose

Yeah, fair one, though I reckon for every Chelsea player that is a **** I could name you three United ones - this is obviously because United have been at the top for much longer, but that's also why I think United should take this poll. Chelsea are just a ship passing in the night IMO and as such I won't invest any long-term hatred in them. Plus I quite liked Mourinho.

Owned by a Russian-mafia oil-thief
Negative football
Dider Drogba
Jose Mourinho and the everyone-against-us mentality
Referee-harassment as a tactic
Frank Lampard's ridiculous run of deflected goals
All of their fans came out of hiding as soon as they were any good
Used to be one of the division's most likeable teams before Ranieri was purged in order to comply with the club's thorough evilness policy
Peter Kenyon (although that once applied to United too, in fairness)

Much more short-term than the causes of hatred that have evidently been festering in you for the past twenty years, but they're still pretty easy to despise.

Haha, I love that last line, it's great

I see your oil thief and raise you one American idiot

Mourinho's a gun though, not having that!!

Interesting story (or perhaps not), my Stepdad lived down south for about 10 years until he met my ma and moved back to Wirral. In that time he took to watching Chelsea home and away, apparently a fair few of the people he used to go with don't bother anymore, disenchanted with the other people that follow them nowadays. So I'll go your point about their fans, I guess it happens to any team that becomes half-decent (used to see a fair few Newcastle shirts round here), the difference with United is that they had random supporters even when they were ****

Gotta discount United fans' votes in this to get a true reflection, surely

Indeed. Vimes the only non-ManUre aligned Chav hater.

Chelsea aren't inherently evil; ManUre are.

The difference between Faustus and Mephistopheles.

Chelsea are worse because they were a proper football club, once.
