So it came as little surprise that as Chelsea celebrated their Premier League title triumph with an open-top bus paradethrough the streets of west London, many took to social media to mock them.
The parade, which weaved its way through Fulham, saw Chelsea fans arrive with plenty of celery in a sign that one of the stranger traditions in football won't be disappearing any time soon. Before the bus even started moving, fans were throwing the vegetable at a Sky News reporter, and once the wheels on the bus were revolving, striker Diego Costa got involved by mercilessly chucking celery at fans lining the streets.
Chelsea, who were accused of being a boring side during the second half of the campaign in which they romped to the title, began the day by poking fun at themselves...
Thousands of Chelsea FC fans support victory parade
Thousands of football fans turned out to watch Chelsea's victory parade following their Premier League victory.
Three open-top buses took the first team, youth team and family members on a parade from Stamford Bridge towards the King's Road in west London.
Chelsea ended their campaign eight points clear at the top after a final day win over Sunderland on Sunday.
The match also marked Didier Drogba's final game for the club after he announced his intention to move on.
Following the championship win, manager Jose Mourinho said: "We have art in our game but we also have fantastic spirit, organisation and pragmatism.
"We are a complete team and that is why we are champions."
The side had topped the Premier League table for a record 274 days ensuring they would be crowned champions for the first time in five years.
