What people sing
Carefree
The main Chelsea chant. Short, repetitive, and aimed at reminding everyone who they think they are.
Blue Is the Colour
An older club song still played on big occasions. Easy for a newcomer to learn.
Who the rivals are
Tottenham Hotspur
A London rivalry with real edge, especially when both clubs are competing for the same prizes.
Arsenal
Another London rivalry, sharpened whenever both are near the top of the table.
Following them from America
Grew fast during the Abramovich trophy years and remains large, with strong chapters in major cities.
