Advantages: Hugely talented. Great players Disadvantages: Sometimes too individualistic. Inconsistent
In recent seasons Chelsea have undergone something of a renaissance and arguably have eclipsed Spurs as one of London's top two clubs,the other being Arsenal.
As the " West End" club,Chelsea have long been an ultra-fashionable outfit and this is reflected perhaps in their numerous celebrity supporters.
