Thought I'd say hello. Just joined last night. New here, but not new to being a Blues fan. Been a Chelsea supporter since I was a nipper. Was born into it as its kind of a family tradition (with the exception of two black sheep, a Gooner bro and Liverpool supporting cousin)

I was there for all the disappointing mid table years and the beginning of the new golden era. My pet hates are Chris Foy, Man United, City and plastic supporters.

I look forward to many quality discussions on here and hope to make a few new friends on the way.

Welcome to the boards.  Where you from originally?

Welcome

Welcome on board, blueone.  You will make lots of new friends here.

Welcome on board chap!

 

We've got somethin' in common.. being a Bristolian and growing up in a family with no football influence, it was all a bit mental with my brother being a Liverpool supporter, cousins supporting Man U & Arsenal.. other kids in the area and in school wearing shirts of those teams mentioned.. Always got the p*ss taken out of me for supporting Chelsea, but something attracted me to 'em even when I was a nipper. Such a special club & you'll meet great people on here too, knowledgeable about their football, down to Earth & a good laugh.  

Thanks for the welcome. I am from South West London. Not the mental busy part though haha. I must say, I'm enjoying this board. Makes a change to have some nice friendly debates that don't finish up with silly name calling.

January Blues: Nice area Bristol, have a few friends up there. Hope you weren't affected by the flooding. I hear it was pretty difficult getting about.

As for being a Chelsea fan, I was lucky I guess, I grew up around many Blues supporters. It started when my brother bought me a kit when I was a kid. He took me to a lot of home games too, and a few away fixtures too. Most of my friends growing up were all Blues fans too.

The piss taking was pretty intense when having kick arounds as a teenager though. So many Man U glory hunters everywhere growing up. Funny how many of those same glory hunters are now wearing Chelsea blue. Ousted a few of them on Facebook the other day when uploading some old pics I found. Many laughs were had.

Interesting having a Gooner brother and scouser cousin though. Crazy banter in the family this season with such a close title race.
