Hello from Croatia!

[booya]

Cheers to all the Chelsea fans!

 

Just a short introduction, I'm a passionate fan of this club for 9 years now. Yes, a year after Abramovich took over the club, but it's not what you think.

 

I became a fan after watching the 2004 US Tour preseason games against Celtic, Roma and Milan, I was 12 back then, and haven't been a fan of any club except my local one (Dinamo Zagreb), I liked the Chelsea performance in those matches and then gradually became a big fan of this great club. I I still remember that game against Roma like it was yesterday, Drogba in that black/silver Umbro jersey, I asked my cousin "Who the hell is that guy?", and who would've thought that years after he's gonna become my favourite player and Chelsea my favourite team. :)

 

P.S. I hope we get ex-Dinamo Zagreb star Modrić on summer. :)

Welcome to the shed.

Welcome Booya.  I was in Zagreb for New Year.  Is that your city?  If it is, I'll presume (from my experiences there) that you chain smoke and eat hotdogs all day?

[booya]

An interesting presumption I must say. I live in Zagreb yes, but I think you got a wrong impression about it, at least for hotdogs. :) But why would you come to Zagreb to celebrate a new year?

 

Btw thanks for the welcome guys.

[BernardLambourde]

There are hotdog sellers on nearly every street corner in the centre! 

 

We just wanted to get away somewhere.....somewhere cheap with a high calibre of women.  Zagreb fitted the bill!

 

I was there for three nights and went to Greengold on the first night (good but felt a little soulless with the escalators....as if you were in a shopping centre rather than a bar/club), Peppermint on the second (good and right near where I was staying).....and for New Year....aaahhh, can't remember the name.  I'll get back to you.  The beer/wine tent in the main square was good too.

 

Also went to Boban's in the day but didn't see the man himself.  I was expecting him to be pulling pints.

Boban pulling the pints, awesome

Welcome to the site.  For the record you don't have to justify when or why you're a fan here.  We're all blues (except the current scouse infestation).
