British say negative things about a team representing them in the world as the biggest threat against any opponent... Now a day teams like Ac Milan or Barcelona would prefer to be drawn against Man U or Arsenal but not Chelsea symply because they are good enough to beat any team... so why do its own country men don't like it?

Pretty rich coming from someone who until noon today, was a self-professed Man Utd fan.

Real Madrid's 9 European championships include the first 5, at a time when football wasn't ruled by money.
It's hard to understand why a team consisting of mainly foreign nationals is seen as representing England - though Chelsea, to be fair to them, are rather better in this respect (having at least Lampard, Terry and the Coles) than many Arsenals I could mention.
But the truth is that these days ALL the top teams "buy success". I dread to think how many of the players in most Champions' League winning sides have come through their own youth programmes: Manchester United with 4 are probably amongst the best; but even they relied as much on the Schmeichels, Stams and Yorkes.
As for Chelsea in particular... there's certainly a bit of envy there from supporters of more traditionally powerful clubs, and club supporters in England would often rather see a foreign side win than another "English" team, it seems. But those who don't like it should just wait, because Mr Abramovic's amusement will fade soon enough, and Chelsea will be back amongst the also-rans within a decade.

everybody who doesnt support that team is jealous of the success that a succesful side gains...every team whoever wins the big trophys is a buyer of success, chelsea are no different...i think wot really upsets people with chelsea is that they are not a traditional big club & the likes of man utd, liverpool, arsenal etc dont like it as they now have a real financial powerhouse to contend with when they have had it all their own way for so long...its also worse for them knowing that roman has cash legally pledged into the club even if he should ever decide to walk away...so there is no chance of the club ever going bankrupt...believe me people, within the next 8 to 10 years u will see the biggest monster the world of football has ever created...& me, as a chelsea fan of many years, after watching my beloved blues home & away on a regular basis during the 80s & 90s, all i can say to u all who dont like it is...tough...live with it...us chelsea fans will take any success we can get as us older generations have been through so many thin years...we may not win everything, but for us chelsea fans, just to see us challenging with a realistic chance of winning trophys is a success in it self compared to wot we have witnessed until 1997...so up the blues & for the rest of u, keep being jealous of us, we love it....

Chelsea do not care about anybody but themselves. They think there money can money just pay off any club for there player, manager or coach.
Have you ever seen Madrid act with such arrogance? i think not.
