QPR and Fulham is an unrequitted rivalry. It's only a rivalry in the eyes of their fans. Deep down I think Fulham fans accept we are way out of their league. The Fulham fans I know seem to hate QPR more, I think that'll become a big rivalry soon.

Older Chelsea I know hate Spurs, West Ham, Liverpool and Leeds.

Chelsea fans my age (and I include myself) hate Spurs, Arsenal and West Ham. I don't hate United just hate their southern/Midlands based fans. The proper United fans I know are top guys, City fans as well.

I used to hate Liverpool pathologically but that has wained.

There are IMO about 20-25%% of all Spurs fans that hate Chelsea more than Arsenal, partly due to the recent wealth and fortunes but also due to the hooliganism and beatings Chelsea used to hand out to them on and off the pitch. Thankfully, those dark days are over now and support is more cosmopolitan but there is still a huge tension and hooligan presence at Spurs v Chelsea games.

Any Chelsea fan that "doesn't mind Spurs", go to a game at WHL v us and I guarantee your opinion of them will soon change, West Ham as well to a lesser extent

I went in 2006 and had to sit in the Spurs end . I think it was 2006 anyway, when Lennon scored the winner and JT got sent off???

Anyway I remember the events after the game more. Chelsea and Spurs fans giving eachother major abuse throwing bottles.

Police surrounded a group of Chelsea fan and marched them to the station. One Chelsea fan tried to break out from the police shield and got thrown by one of the coppers onto the side of a parked car smashing his head through the window

That's because Chelsea were founded in 2003 whereas most other clubs have been around for 100 odd years.

He's right - we have no history

I thought they ripped the seats out at SB?

===========================

Yep that did happen, in a very naughty cup game in '95 is memory serves me. I remeber mounted polic and fans all over the pitch.

To be fair, that is about the only game we have ever played them in at the Bridge where they had seats

Because our only local rival is Fulham, who are like the spotty younger brother your parents tell you you must look after but you don't realy care about!
