My love for Chelsea is pure. Since 1996 I had a feeling when Ruud Gullit came on board that this team would build itself into something phenomenal, pledged my allegiance and Chelsea came through. I will bleed blue forever! And I love that it has a solid African contingent with my favs Essien and Kalou and even though Drogba rubs me the wrong way, he is good at what he does so we support him too.
However, I am annoyed by the Community Shield result. Yes eventually champions have to lose but, man! to frikking Man U at the start of the season?! Kalou as usual was clutch , at least putting Chelsea on the scoreboard albeit late in the game. Drogba has admitted to carrying around a groin problem for 6 years that he has only just fixed and now has to get match fit learning to play without the injury! Plus he is getting over the crazy World Cup arm incident too. Glad that Essien is wetting his football feet again.
Chelsea need to shape up and start the season well.
I am totally with you on the ManU sycophants. My distaste for them is pure and unrivaled. My moment of awakening came in '86/'87 watching John Barnes in his red kit with the Candy logo emblazoned on his chest. I've been supporting Liverpool since then.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a very smart woman! I was a Liverpool supporter as a child but as a teenager something about Chelsea just fit and I have never looked back since.
