Chelsea Supporters:

I have always enjoyed watching soccer without allegiance and have gotten hooked on soccer during the World Cup. I've wanted to pick a team to follow in the EPL for the past couple of years.

I have chosen Chelsea based on them not being a team always at risk of demotion, but also not a team coming right off a league title. Also, I wanted to pick a team in a place I could attend a match for while vacationing (London). Oh, and when I read they had a controversial coach in Mourinho, they sounded like a slam dunk to support.

Learn me your ways, Blues fans.

Here's a few starter tips.

There's a decently priced hotel (the Millennium & Copthorne) inside the stadium in chelsea (Stamford bridge). I go to games about twice a year.

Games will generally be on 7-11am Saturdays and Sundays so be prepared to wake up and watch.

Hate Liverpool and Tottenam

Hate man city

Be prepared for fans of lesser teams to accuse you of bandwagoning regardless of when you became a fan, and why.

Jose Mourihno is the special one and he is fairly controversial. He is hated by other clubs and adored by us.

Hazard will be one of our most influential players this season. I truly believe he will come into his own with a good striker to play off up top.

Hate arsenal.

Beware of Bho he likes this guy named Marko Marin and its weird
