I'm sick and tired of being told I can't be a fan if I live in England, I live in Lebanon, I'm a die hard chelsea fan, #dealwithit

Well said. A reason why the Premiership is so popular is due to the huge amount of international followers. Who cares where you live, if you support a club you support them. To be honest mate, I wouldn't consider you to be less of a Chelsea fan than another Chelsea fan who lives in the UK. If you follow Chelsea as much as they do, what makes them a "better" supporter? Nothing.

I do hope you get to see a game one day, it's a great experience.

Close enough. Why not Leeds, out of interest? They must have been going through their amazing Champions League phase when you were growing up..

no it's not.... if you support a club, you supported all the way through, even if geographically it doesn't fit you.... I won't come here and say hey!!! I love chelsea and i like united and arsenal and tottenham and millwall and west ham and QPR etc.....

Plus, I hate man utd to death, not just cause they're rivals, cause they are the most arrogant bunch I've ever seen in my life and it makes me cringe everytime they score or win

Like I said, you got nothing that relates you to the club. Nothing. That is not your hometown club, so you are surrounded with the club symbols and tradition and stuff like that. You were never at their stadium. You can support Chelsea and all, but hating United and and going overboard like that, I say that is a load of crap. #dealwithit

Won my first accumulator bet last night, even though it was only a 5 team one for £25



Anyways, I now predict Man City for the title after seeing them against the red shite. They have so much strength in depth and quality in every position.

I support Chelsea, Man Utd are Chelsea rivals, I hate Man Utd, it's a simple equation, I don't have anything relating me to Eminem, he's an american singer, should I stop being a fan of his?

Yes.

In all fairness, it would cost him a ridiculous amount to travel to London just to watch a game. You can't play that card on him, especially how he's stated intentions to see Chelsea play one day. Hating on Utd doesn't derive from being a Chelsea fan either, if he said he hated QPR and Fulham then that's a different story. I personally don't mind QPR or Fulham, more so the latter than the former.

Everything you stated does not make him less of a Chelsea fan.

I said this earlier, here I was just trying to prove a point and saying how ridiculous it would come out of me if I said I liked Chelsea AND these clubs, it's like saying I support Barcelona and Real Madrid

I actually like West Ham and Fulham, I hate QPR though (their fans seemed like cunts in our away game, no disrespect/offense to AJ2050), I don't like Tottenham or Arsenal (especially the latter), and I've never seen Milwall play more then once, but I read about their brutal history with Chelsea

Agreed, the QPR game is what got me disliking them. But hey, it's an old rivalry reignited.

1. A "die hard Chelsea fan" would travel to London no matter where he lives.
2. I`m not trying to make him less of a Chelsea fan, he can tatoo "Chelsea" on his ass for all I care. I`m just saying that he is, just like my friends that would die for Barcelona (I`m from Croatia), going overboard with his Chelsea craziness.

1) He's from Lebanon. It's not cheap to travel to London, get accommodation and to buy some tickets to watch Chelsea. That's a lot of money for anyone. If he's already said he wants to go to a game one day, what's the problem?

2) It's called loving football and following a club who you support. It doesn't matter where you're from, if you support a club you support them.

Is it my fault I fell in love with a club I don't live near to?

Love is a bitch, my Lebanon friend. Untill you post pics of no less than 20 tickets from Chelsea games (home and away) you have no right to call yourself a "diehard Chelsea fan". 20 is not enough too, but I`ll cut you some slack, you are a student and I know what that is like.

I think it is time for Fleka to tell us his credentials. Who do you support, how many times have you seen them, where do you live? (if you don't mind me asking)...

On this subject...I have spent my whole life laughing at united because of their global fanbase...but Lello is well into Chelsea so I believe he is a fan. As long as you feel crushing pain when you lose and joy when you win you are a real fan.
