@dailymailsport: Chelsea's 'arrogant' and 'entitled' players have come under fire after blanking a group of young mascots before their FA Cup tie against Hull City. The Championship side had lined up the excited youngsters near the away dressing room before kick-off at the MKM Stadium on Friday. But in footage posted by the official club account, the Chelsea stars - led by captain Reece James - could be seen walking straight past the children. The boys had waited patiently alongside Hull staff as the Premier League squad arrived off the team bus, but were ignored by every player in the 31-second clip. At one moment Liam Delap looked like he was walking towards them but instead made a beeline to hug a member of staff from his time at Hull. The camera then cut back to experienced players like Robert Sanchez and Joao Pedro continuing to walk past the boys, who were left standing on their own at the end of the footage. GB News presenter Michelle Dewberry wrote on X: 'You should be ashamed your players act like this with these little boys. Instead, you’re proud and desperate to share it. Gross.' Another said: 'Chelsea admin watched this video and thought it was a great idea! In reality again they look like a bunch of entitled divas.' A third user branded it a 'terrible look' and added: 'Not one Chelsea player acknowledging or high-fiving the mascots. Who stole the soul?' #chelsea #hull #facup #Soccer #colepalmer
