Nope. Just a small club from fulham that got a rich owner. Never be our main rivals.

I think Woolwich are more of an irritant now. Bit like West Ham. Longing for us to take them seriously, but knowing we look down on them with complete disdain. I think Woolwich/West Ham would be a more fitting rivalry in the modern game
Ermm no. No matter how many trophies Chelsea buy and how many times they steal our transfer targets, they'll never surpass the hatred we have towards Woolwich.
There seems to be a boardroom rivalry simmering away between us and Chelsea though. And their fans definitely hate us more than any other club.. Probably because deep down, their board and fans know that in the real world outside Sky and Abramovich, we will always be the bigger club.
He simply isn't...
Faster and stronger - yes ? But Christian is miles better at actual football.
Football isn't based on a bunch of binary metrics, we have to except that sometimes what makes a player so good is intangible and mostly in the mind.
I hate Chelsea more than Woolwich. The club is inherently worse.
That said, our main rivals are Woolwich and always will be.
Nonsense.
Far too soon to talk of their demise but they are struggling and may have to deal with an even more disruptive Sanches.
but Leicester fans think its them
Hatred of Woolwich is woven into our DNA and passed down from generation to generation, its gloriously irrational at times (I own no red clothing, even insignificant small red stripes or lettering annoy me).
Hatred of Chelsea is for more reasoned, rational, factual. If I had to choose I'd stick with the former but they work as two sides of the same coin really.
West Ham aren't even in the equation, they're as relevant to us as Brentford

is there a RB you prefer over Aurier? In the case of the RB timing was out of our hands.
Yep, tend to agree.
Eriksen is masterly at times and very much our hrartbeat.
If we manage to get Barkley in January or then I think he would learn to become a much better player from a manager who might be able to coax out the player many thought he would become.
Like Berahino and others though, he must refocus, train and be professional or we and other clubs will lose interest.
And that will be another career lost.
Ha, I do the exact same thing with red.
my hatred goes in this order, mostly because of pricks i've had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting:
1. Chelsea
2. West Ham (partly because of Brady BS)
3. Woolwich (historical rivalry)
4. Liverpool
5. Man City
6. Man U (because of Jose)

more of a Dembele further forwards I would have thought? He isn't a passer more of a carrier - just need to improve his decision making once he has beaten a player.
I know. I was just taking the piss out of the cunts.
Jeezus
Definitely far too soon. Whatever state they're in now, we've been in worse situations many times, even in the last decade. When they've been there for a few years and a consistently not a threat then we can be cocky about dismissing them, but for now, let's just enjoy seeing them suffering properly for the first time in a long while
Sorry mate.
I think most of us would go with that list, in various configs.
Although personally I don't hate man city. They spent by long enough living in the shadow of United due to their bloated, horrible bandwagon jumping fanbase. In some ways ive been pleased to see them emerge as Manchesters dominant club. Albeit by false economic investment.
On the window. I think that overall we are a midfield option or 2 light which might be a problem.
Certainly the area to consider in January.
Of Llorente, exactly the experience and type we need in many respects and because we kept Janssen for now, we also have a good 3rd option and with no reason why the 2 can't play together if needed.
