It is just the way of things.
It more deep seated, like the cousin you always hated or a kid from school. Chelsea is just some bloke at work you've recently come to hate.
The team? They're actually a pretty inoffensive bunch as these things go. There's no Graeme Roberts or Tedward ****tingham there.
The club? Sorry, but I just can't bring myself to hate a corporate entity. It makes no sense.
The supporters? While they may be irritating en masse and there are undoubtedly some thoroughgoing bellends among them, that's no different to any other club, including our own. Equally, I have a number of friends and acquaintances who support Tottenham who are splendid people whom I like and respect.
So what is it that we supposedly 'hate'?
