Chelsea are criticised for mocking Leeds’ relegation on their official Twitter account

Chelsea have been criticized for mocking Leeds’ relegation to the Championship on their official Twitter account.

During their live coverage of the game between Leeds and Chelsea at Elland Road last August (a game Leeds won 3-0), Chelsea tweeted “Start asserting ourselves!” in the 30th minute before needing to mention Leeds goals from Brenden Aaronson and Rodrigo in the space of seven minutes.

This led to the official Leeds account writing: ‘Life comes how fast you do!’.

Chelsea certainly haven’t forgotten that tweet as after Leeds’ relegation to the Championship was confirmed on Sunday, they quoted the original tweet saying “It certainly is.”

However, many Twitter users were keen to point out that Chelsea were in no position to poke fun at others given that they themselves endured a terrible campaign.

The Blues finished 12th in the Premier League – the first time they have concluded a campaign in the bottom half of the table since 1995-96. They have been inconsistent all season with an excessively large squad and have seen a slew of managerial changes.

One Arsenal fan wrote: “Chelsea strengthen relegation teams. Ladies and gentlemen of the Todd Boehly era.

Another Twitter user wrote: ‘Flipping from 12th after passing 600m shameless.’

One Manchester United fan wrote: ‘No way you’ve gone from winning the Champions League to bantering the relegated teams’.

A Twitter user added: ‘Finish 12th with a team value of 1 billion and blame the other teams who were relegated Finished 17th in the second half table Have a goal difference of 17-26 Have a balance of transfer of – 500 million have some shame be humble’.

Another wrote: “You have just completed the bottom half after spending over £500m. I hope you will go bankrupt. good joke though.
