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.

Exactly.

Also, as long as you feel pride when hearing:



I'm off to uni now, but yeah - BLUE IS THE COLOUR!

The only games I go to are Croatian national teams in football and handball. I have been to a few games in other countries (Austria, Slovenia) And Cibona, basketball team from Zagreb.

But I don`t consider myself as a diehard fan. I know a few guys that work only to be able to follow our national team and Dinamo Zagreb where ever they go.

On this subject...I have spent my whole life laughing at united because of their global fanbase...

And now City has the newest and most widespread global one. Traditional lines being broken down.

As long as you feel crushing pain when you lose....

Born in Leeds

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

I do support them also, I lived in Manchester for a couple of years first getting into football watching Man United play then when i moved back to Leeds i used to watch Lufc with my grandad

I remember watching the downfall.. was horrible i was heartbroken, Lol

[xRas]

Its obv not the same, Getting the feeling... being proud of the team you have supported since being a child ups and downs... being around people who feel the same way and feeling real hate towards rivals

You support Leeds and United.

Don't tell any of your Leeds/United supporting mates that, you'll be lynched.

Another track to uplift the Chelsea fans! We have some of the best songs tbh.



Can't wait for the match today!

Me and Mike have had this discussion on here a lot and frankly though I agree he (Lello) could never feel the same passion as a regular or someone who is local to it all I dont think there is anything wrong with him following the club.

I never said there is something wrong with Lello being a Chelsea fan. I said (and I`m tired of saying it all the time) that he has nothing that relates him to that club. You said it yourself-he could never feel the same passion with someone who actually lives with the, in this case, Chelsea madness.

Two friends of mine act like crazy about Barcelona, they hate Real Madrid, hate every player that plays or played in Madrid. They are such hardcore fans, and this summer Barca played in Split (city about 250 km from the city I live in) and those two hardcore fans didn`t even go there.
The way they behave annoys the fuck out of me, and Lello`s posts here remind of them.

So, there is nothing wrong with him being a Chelsea fan, but acting like someone who lives across the street of Chelsea stadium is a bit too much.

And the thing with tickets was just me fucking around, for fuck sake.
