My super honest confession .... I dont know why i support chelsea ..Honestly .. Sometime in 2008-2009 I started watching EPL and I keep on thinking what made me fall in love with Chelsea .. When i understood the game better , i realized there are some teams who play better football , some have bigger stadiums , more fans , huge history ,, chelsea are seen as the bad boys .... but i just cudnt dislike them ..its not like i look at things from my blue tinted glasses and appreciate everything chelsea do . .On the contrary , i feel the only area where chelsea excels over domestic and european rivals is that we have a passionate owner for whom chelsea is not an investment ...rest i hate the fact that we keep on firing managers .. i hate that despite spending huge on sacking managers and buying mega stars , we havent invested a lot to come up with a city like academy ..i hate when we loan out kids and then sell them without giving them enuf chances .. i agree sometimes it feels like we use them as financial assets ... but then no matter what ... I just love Chelsea madly despite all these reasons ..and that too madly ..i feel like crying everytime chelsea loose but I just cant figure out why do i Like them so much even though they dont run the way i want a club should ideally run .its like having a spoilt son , u dislike most of his actions but u just cant hate him ..u just protect him from rags n gunners making fun of him .
why do i say this ... coz when i ask people why they love a club ..they come up with reasons .. its like they weighed their options and chose one .. man united fans were like rooney , ronaldo , tevez , busby babes ..pool fans were like istanbul 2005 , YNWA ..gunners are like invincibles this thaT ..but honestly i din do my maths before choosing ... i really dunno how that happened .. just fell for chelsea when saw them playing for the first time ..recognized ballack , JT and Lampard only ..most players were unknown ..their trophy count , history , roman and money story ..everything was not known to me ... just fell for them .. like love at first sight for a girl without konwing her religion , wealth , family details , job etc ...
Now m not trying to show a loyalty or sanity with this .. all m saying is ..for fans outside UK , did it happen the same way .. did u like a certain player or watch a particular final and then loved the team . or did u just see them playing for the first time and fell for them ..for what reason i dont know ..the blue strip , the lion badge ..or whatever . i sometimes feel lucky chelsea came out to be a team challenging on all fronts as my brain didnt get a chance to do its homework before my heart fell for the blues ..they cud have been a wigan or watford of this world .. i wud have still followed them with the same passion though ..
