History: Why does Chelsea hate Tottenham Hotspur?
All this happened for a reason.
On a forum in England, I found a post posted by a person named Chelsea History on a website called reddit in England, with the time of 20 13, which introduced our past with Tottenham in detail. There are some yy and tucao at the end of the article, which is quite interesting. Translated these days in the evening, and put it out for everyone to vomit during the game against Tottenham Hotspur.
Attention! ! The full text of this article is a translation of the original text and does not represent my own views. I will mark my tucao and some background introductions in blue.
Coming ~
First of all, it is obvious that fans of various clubs in London don't like each other. There is no friendly match here. There are also happy teams like Fulham. It's hard not to like them.
However, Fulham fans certainly don't like Chelsea very much, and they are not too keen on the freaks who like those bad teams in West London and Harless.
So (in London) there has never been an opponent who appreciates each other, and there has never been a friendly match.
In any London derby, there is at least one obvious unilateral hatred.
Chelsea fans now have three enemies in London, Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham, in no particular order.
Let's ignore Milwaukee for a moment.
Why Tottenham? Most people think that the competition of modern football started with 1967, so this hatred seems to be natural.
The hegemony of Tottenham Hotspur
Until the 1990s, Tottenham was a more successful club (compared with Chelsea). Speaking of the opposition between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, we can see two obvious events:
1967 FA Cup Final
1967 FA Cup final was held between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, which undoubtedly gave this post a title.
A little background, at this point in time, Chelsea's honor consists of a League champion (1955) and a League Cup champion (gone).
Tottenham had two league titles and four FA Cup titles, and the important thing was that the FA Cup was almost as important as the league at that time (if not more important).
Compared with similar domestic competitions in other European countries and England, the FA Cup final is a peak.
It's less than 10 years since the European Cup just started.
It is worth noting that Tottenham Hotspur became the only English team to win both the FA Cup and the League title in the 20th century in the season of1960-196/kloc-0.
Therefore, Tottenham is a fierce club, while Chelsea is not.
The names of the players of the two teams sound like a string of legends.
Tottenham Hotspur: Pat Jennings (one of the best goalkeepers in the history of football, who has played in more than 65,438+0,000 top leagues), Jimmy Greaves (another dispute between the two clubs, Greaves was originally a Chelsea boy and signed with Tottenham Hotspur after staying in Milan for a while), Terry venables (65,438+0960-
Chelsea: peter bonetti (goalkeeper), Bobby Tamblin (202, Lampard's 203), he was the top scorer of our team until 20 13, holding the record of Ron Harris (795 games), and Tommy Baldwin (1966) was the first in Chelsea.
In short, Tottenham won. When their predecessors Greaves and venables won the most important trophy in English football, Chelsea fans felt like daggers gouging out their hearts.
Tottenham Hotspur's victory consolidated their position as one of the top clubs in England, while Chelsea remained a brave loser.
Downgrade 1975
1974- 1975 is the season when both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are fighting for relegation. When they entered the game, Tottenham were in the relegation zone and Chelsea were only one point ahead of them. Tottenham won the game 2-0, Chelsea lost the last two games and finally relegated, while Tottenham successfully relegated above the relegation zone with a score of 1.
Chelsea's demotion deprived the ball of its bragging rights, and the opposition between fans outside the stadium became very controversial. Although Chelsea was not on the same level as Tottenham until 1984, the tone of the fans' opposition was set at that time.
The rise of Chelsea in the 1990s
At present, the hatred of Tottenham fans towards Chelsea began with the reversal of their respective fates in the 1990s.
Although Tottenham Hotspur never won the league title after 1960- 196 1 season, they are still a bigger and more successful club than Chelsea. They won the FA Cup three times, while Chelsea won only once.
1978 (after Tottenham brought in Argentines osvaldo Aldis Le and riccardo Villa, so that the British Isle finally got real foreign aid), Tottenham still left some talented players at White Hart Lane: glenn hoddle, Osvaldo Ardiles, Villa and so on.
On the contrary (and it is well documented), during this period, Chelsea has been struggling with its trademark hooliganism and deteriorating reputation on the pitch, and experienced two demotions after 1975.
When Tottenham Hotspur 1982 won the FA Cup, Chelsea 1983 was almost relegated to the third class. The fate of the two teams is hardly the same.
With the advent of the 1990s, great changes have taken place between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea welcomed Matthew Harding's investment, but Tottenham's luck took a turn for the worse.
Before Tottenham beat Chelsea at home in 2006 (2- 1, Drogba's goal was invalid), the last time Tottenham beat Chelsea was 1990.
Tottenham Hotspur didn't beat Chelsea in 16 and a half years, which made them crazy.
Chelsea has changed from a club that sells its best players (Greaves and venables) to a team that Tottenham can't beat. In particular, Tottenham was cut by Chelsea 1-6 at home (1997- 1998 season, Tottenham suffered the worst defeat at home since Arsenal 1935).
In this case, the psychology of Tottenham fans is very understandable. They always feel that they are a much bigger club than us. Until the 1990s, they were able to list a lot of reasons.
Matthew Harding's progress has given Chelsea a great impetus, which has made us an attractive team and turned it into a team that can buy Gary Docherty, Dean Richards, Ramon Villa, Rebrov and anthony gardner.
Chelsea became an attractive team, replacing Tottenham Hotspur.
at present
Of course, the acquisition of roman abramovich completely changed the club. Chelsea has changed from a social class led by a big boy to a club that can compete for the league title.
By 2006, Chelsea had won all the trophies won by Tottenham. Chelsea play the Champions League every Tuesday and Wednesday, but Tottenham don't.
Because Chelsea won the Champions League, Tottenham finally finished fourth but was kicked out of the Champions League.
The envy of Tottenham fans is obvious-"You bought this success." "What's it like to be kept by Russian profiteers?" "We won the league championship 50 years earlier than you, much better than you." "In the 1980s, you were rubbish and we were strong, which means that since the 20th century, we have been a stronger club than you."
Tottenham fans even started to be like us (former football hooligans). The team even started hitting people when they were shitting.
For example, in 2007, after the FA Cup drew 2-2 (Spurs fans 3- 1 blew another wave), a group of fans attacked Parsons Green (a residential area near Stamford Bridge) to protect their honor.
I'm drunk, too. I don't even look at the person I hit. If I pull it closer, I'll hit them. I'm completely angry. )
Although Tottenham fans are very reluctant to admit it in public, their hatred of Chelsea is close to Arsenal.
They can't understand that the club full of street fighters, the club that is always relegated, the club that has hardly won any trophies, and the club full of uneducated punks (remember that their club is in Tottenham and most of their supporters are from Essex-obviously Tottenham fans don't know it) have grown into football giants.
Since then, the following are the original authors yy and Tucao.
I think the reason should be this: when you are a child, you have a basic understanding of the world, and you will feel that the world should work like this.
When I was a teenager, Wimbledon (now Milton Keynes) was the mainstay of the Premier League.
However, because I am not an idiot, I understand and accept all these changes. Wimbledon is no longer the Premier League, but the League One team.
Unbelievable, right?
However, Tottenham fans avoided all this.
The history and culture of a club does not depend on its performance in the past 20 years or 20 years.
For Tottenham fans, their team was the core of Britain in the11980 s, and their retrogression was unacceptable.
Tottenham fans just parrot to the next generation of fans that Tottenham is a very popular team in London and Chelsea is a shit team of fans.
I once wrote another post, saying that Tottenham is Everton in the south.
The most obvious contrast is with Liverpool-thinking about past achievements, missing good times and always believing that success is just around the corner.
The difference is that Liverpool was the best team in England not long ago, and it is reasonable for them to miss the past, while Tottenham strangely miss their two league titles (the latest one was 50 years ago) and the FA Cup title (22 years ago).
Even compared with Everton fans, the idea of Tottenham fans is more toxic (the original word is universal, generous, here is praise, here is irony.
Ha ha ha, what I admire most is the British satirical talent), Tottenham Hotspur was a cup expert in the 1960s and 1980s ... The paranoia of their fans is simply spectacular and out of control.
At present, their fans are still so extraordinary (continue to ridicule hahahahahaha). Although their youngest fans who have witnessed champions (such as league, FA Cup and Champions League) and have memories are all in their twenties, they still act like giants in English football.
Summary: Why does Chelsea hate Tottenham Hotspur?
1967; 19775; Grand dreams; Chip on the shoulder; I didn't realize that the 1980 s had passed and time was passing; Unwilling to admit that Chelsea has become better than them; The definition of a big club is not just to get the fourth place.
