I'm not a fan, I just don't get why people keep saying this. Can someone shed some light on this?

think they had 1 league title and 1 fa cup in the first 100 years
they were more known for their 'firm' and hooligans up until probably the early 90's
they have no real intense derby on the scale of the Manchester, NLD, Merseyside, Second City, Tyne-Wear, Steel City etc.
or even a big rival like Liverpool/Utd, West Ham/Millwall, Leeds/Utd
And their 'fans' at the games really only became fans in the last 10 years when Roman bought the team and it became posh to be seen at Stamford Bridge. The real fans were priced out and only people from the upper class neighborhoods (Chelsea/Kensington)
