The only thing that irritates me about Chelsea is the fact that when I moved here, all you saw were Palace shirts, Since the Russian bought in, everywhere is Chelsea, and do any of the fuckers go to watch? Well a few do, but the centres of Croydon, Sutton, Banstead and wallington are thick with Chelsea shirts when they are playing, but none of them seem to know who against if asked. Petty I know, But it gets my goat. Couldn't watch them now on tv, but did enjoy the old 70's side, and even the 80's side when you were pretty rubbish by your standards.
See, I kinda did the opposite.
When I was at primary school, having a Prem team was pretty much compulsory unless your dad kept you thoroughly on the straight and narrow and mine doesn't really care about football other than a passing affiliation for Tottenham.
As a result 8 year old me picked Chelsea, pretty much on the ground of Gianfranco Zola and liking the colour blue. Abramovich took over about the time I went to senior school and one season later, got shot of Zola. That was the end of my brief flirtation with Chelsea and it's been pure Town ever since.
Clearly I just like suffering.
