Hi all.
I've lurked on here for a while cos I'm nosy but thought I'd sign up so I could chuck my ten pence in.
I have been supporting Chelsea for 17 years, since I was 7. Arsenal were the glory team in London back then but they were struck off the list as my dad is a Spud. He's a nice bloke apart from that, and he made me watch MOTD on a Sunday morning and I picked Chelsea because a) blue is the colour and b) I bloody loved Gianfranco Zola, still do to this day and will forever.
I have a season ticket in the front row of The Shed Lower and have done for the last five years, since I got a job and could pretend I could afford it. I was in Munich and it was the best day of my life, I will never forget it.
I write for an American website called Bleacher Report. The football section is hidden behind all the glitter and razzmatazz of the Yankee "sports" but it's there, and it's growing. If anyone is interested in reading some of my stuff, let me know and I'll link to it.
Anyway, I could go on and on trying to ingratiate myself but I'll stop here and win you all over with my charm in time. Nice to meet you all, as it were.
