1998 or was it 1999? My parents left me home alone, and I ended up watching a diminutive Italian running circles around Jaap Stam and Ronny Johnsen.
That's it. I was hooked! And after that watching Chelsea was like a love affair. Thrashing Man United one day and then losing to Middlesborough.
The ups and downs, and ebbs and flows were always entertaining.
I am joining this forum almost 14 years after supporting this club from 6000 miles aways in India. Before the Premier League became 'the biggest' sports spectacle in urban cities in India, I kept the blue flag flying high. Most people thought I was crazy to support a club so far away.
May 2009, Sheer and utter heartbreak - http://dk01.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/another-year-another-tear-cfc-gives-me-the-blues-again/
March 2011, I saw the Blues beat Manchester City at the Bridge (and then India won the cricket World cup!)
May 2012, and I couldn't have asked for more as a fan. I watched over the blues that night (we all did, didn't we?
)
Anyhow, I am in the British Isles now, studying at a place that is one train ride from London. I hope to find some people that I could watch the games with. Maybe someone who can help me out with tickets too!
