Hello everyone!

I'm a devoted fan from America. I've only supported Chelsea for about two years now, so I'm quite a newbie. I know I fit the perfect criteria for "glory hunter" but I hope I can diffuse any suspicions rather quickly! Round about two years ago, I realized it was time for me to choose my destiny as a soccer fan, as I've played since I was 5. Well, the ripe old age of 16 rolled around and I really began to love watching in addition to playing. Only problem was, who do I support? Everyone I know is either an Arsenal or a Man U fan, and quite frankly, I just didn't fit with them. I watched many games as a neutral, did some research, and Chelsea came calling. I fell in love. I haven't missed a game (minus ones that aren't broadcasted here) since I made my choice, and I know I'm here for life. This team is my passion, I'm on top of the world when we win, and when things are looking bad, my week is shot until our next game.

I know my roots aren't as strong as 90% of the people here, but my passion is, and always will be. I'm doing my best to pick up as much history as I can, and I hope to make the trip to the Bridge as soon and as often as I can, once I'm a bit older! I've lurked around this forum for quite awhile now, and I've finally decided its time to become a part of it!

Sorry for the long-winded introduction, but hey, its my only chance at a first impression and I gotta impress all the cool kids!

Welcome mate, at least you choose blue instead of red so pat on the back for that. Just keep the blue flag flying high and enjoy.

Hello Deep Blue!  Whart a brilliant introduction!  You have made a magnificent first impression upon me!

Well thats great to hear! Mission accomplished  


And since this is the place for me to tell about myself, I'll also say that my girlfriend is just as big a fan as I am, so lucky me for that. We have a good time giving my younger brother crap - he has unfortunately taken a liking to Arsenal...

Foolish lad! Let's hope that growing maturity improves his taste! Nobody could ever say his older brother didn't set him a good example!

[Deep Blue]

Haha thanks for that! Hopefully he'll come to his senses

Usually, though when it gets cold out we let him sleep in the dungeon of his filled with that red and white propaganda. Bleh. I'd take the garden!

People overuse the term "Glory hunter" these days to the point of using it without acknowledging what it really means. It's nothing to do with being from a foreign country or a relatively new supporter. Glory hunters are people who constantly change the team they support whenever another one wins silverware.

Anyway, welcome to the shed end!  I think you'll find this site a lot better than the official Chelsea chat. I know I do.
Keep the blue flag flying high from Milwaukee to Wemberly!

Leinekugles and Bratwurst, that's what I remember about my trip to Madison, WI.

I'm based out in Washington State now, but have moved about quite a bit. Originally from Scotland
