'JT' can't stand seeing the Red Devils rake in the honours while the Blues go without.
As Chelsea and Manchester United prepare to square off in the 2009 Community Shield, there is one man who would love nothing better than to get one over Sir Alex Ferguson's men.
"I'm fed up with seeing United win trophies," said John Terry, according to the News of the World.
"It's killed me personally as I'm ambitious. I want to push on as a player and win so many more things for Chelsea."
With the men from Old Trafford edging Liverpool last season to claim their third straight Premier League crown, the Blues of west London are yet to add to their tally since winning back-to-back titles under Jose Mourinho.
And although he is eager to make amends for his infamous slip in Moscow in May 2008, Terry stressed that bringing domestic success back to Stamford Bridge was top priority.
He said, "I want to win the Champions League. I swear to God, I'm desperate to win it. But I'm desperate to get the title back. Going three years without the Prem isn't where we want to be."
Having resisted the advances of Manchester City this summer, Terry will lead Chelsea out on Sunday afternoon as the FA Cup winners take on the league champions at Wembley.
And while he knows that the traditional curtain-raiser is not exactly a win-at-all-costs affair, the England captain is nevertheless hoping to kick off the season with a big win.
He added, "We've got the Community Shield, which will be great to win. OK, it's not the be all and end all, but it would be so nice to beat Manchester United."
