They think they're bigger than they are (we won the World Cup/academy of football), Cockneys generally being annoying and shouting their mouths off, plus they are kit stealers. They fiddled the league in 2006/7 with the Tevez/Mascherano transfers, Kia Joorabchian etc, and Sheffield United went down at their expense and only just got back up. They paid them about £20m in compensation but that's a fraction of what it has cost them missing out on PL football.

Obviously the stadium as well.
