[Albion] Palace or Chelsea - who do you hate more?

[BN9 BHA]

Definitely Palace.
I don’t really like Chelsea but think we have a lot to thank them for as already mentioned on this thread. I actually hate people that drive while looking at mobile phones more than Chelsea and Palace.

Wolves are doing a job on Chelsea at the moment. That 0-0 is looking quite a good result right now ...

Chelsea are comically bad and Caicedo has been taken off. How the f*** did we ever lose to them?

 

[Bozza]

Some bizarre symmetry in the last 24 hours...

1. Both Palace and Chelsea fans sing "We're f***ing shit" about their own teams.
2. Large number of both fans sod off early as their sides take humiliating beatings.

Although when I say "bizarre", I actually mean "hilarious".

 

[Brovion]

I haven't voted as I don't actually hate anybody. Palace are our rivals, and I have pantomime hatred for them, but nothing more.

I do have a genuine dislike of Chelsea, but that is more a general thing (inspired by their succession of arsehole owners) rather than anything Potter-related. I think our relationship with Chelsea is a bit like that we had with Chesterfield or Orient: they're a club we've had a little bit of a run-in with engendering some ill-feeling, but it won't last. Certainly I hope we never claim them as 'rivals', that would be as embarrassing as Leeds claiming rivalry with Man U, or Scotland with England.

Can we stop with this fake rivalry with Chelsea it’s cringy.
It’s always been Palace and Pompey.
All Chelsea have done is enable us to progress into the club we are today by paying well over the top for our players who’s careers then fall off a cliff.

Agree.

 

[StonehamPark]

I don't hate either.

I enjoy having the pantomime villain being Palace, and I very much enjoy smashing them. I used to take it much more seriously and let it affect me more, but I grew up and weve essentially leap-frogged them in all areas.

I dislike Chelsea, mostly due to how they've tried to buy football, and partly due to how they gutted our staff. Now, I'd really call it a big fat case of schadenfreude, a year + ago, it was a passionate dislike.

Palace’s next game is Chelsea at home.

What result do you want….draw for me I guess…

Chelsea are an in season rival. We need them to be dropping points.

 

[Sheebo]

Can we not delve into the definition of hate when discussing hating clubs in a football forum everytime a thread like this appears. It’s ‘hate’ in a throwaway football way of course - this is so modern football doing this and I HATE it

Chelsea

Their fans were singing bring back Abramovich yesterday. Most Palace fans are just like us

 

[WhingForPresident]

I wouldn't want Palace to go bust. I would absolutely love it if Chelsea did.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Why would any Brighton fan hate Chelsea?
They cover all of our living expenses.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I wouldn't want Palace to go bust.

They have before and are still bloody here.

I would absolutely love it if Chelsea did.

It would be funny, but maybe a drop down a few divisions would be better, but then the likes of Rotherham and Orient will have to put up with their self entitled fans rocking up and taking the piss, not really fair on them.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I don’t hate anyone… you on the other hand are an irritation best treated with cream

 

[brighton_dave]

Far harder than I thought. Wilf added extra hate factor, so perhaps more clear cut if he was still there.
Chelsea's behaviour with us, add in the Oligarch & their general behaviour, and it's very close.
I'd rather see a Chelsea team relegated though.

Which clubs the biggest shit show?

Eeyore said it for me. I want Palace to win, purely so Chelsea drop the points.

On the whole I couldn't care less about Chelsea and "hate" Palace, but as others have said, it's a cartoon hate, not a literal one.

I always want Palace to lose - unless that would negatively affect us. However, I also want to play them every season so don't really want them relegated for that purely selfish reason.

The whole thing brings me back to a windswept Withdean when we needed Palace to win to avoid relegation. The news came in that they'd scored and the whole South Stand sang "Come on you Scum".

On a more sensible note, I will never forget that fact that when we were protesting both against our former owners, and more recently for approval for Falmer there were Palace shirts in the crowd supporting us in our time of need. Also see REMF.

In a weird way I'm looking forward to Monday evening's Palace v Chelsea match, just to find out which set of fans will boo their own manager loudest - a bit of a challenge there for the self-styled best fans in the world..
