Why dont you tell that to the rest of your worldwide fanbase?

Would haved love to but I grew up praising the Rossoneri. Ive been a devout follower of Cruz Azul since I was born and that is the team that my dad gave me, but European football was an enigma until I saw the Rossoneri. Love at first sight, Chelsea was also easy to fall in love because of the similarity in uniform with Cruz Azul and the players interested me. Maybe I wanst born in London or Milan but I do sacrifice my sleep to see them every weekend even if its 3 or 4 in the morning, which I know of lot of people do here, and I cried just as much as Terry when he missed that penalty, up to the point that I was having nervous breakdowns and nightmares about that shot. Im emotionally invested in these teams, and its more than can be said about 90 percent of the Man U fans who only appeared at my local pub till the final of the CL.

and the only good thing to come out of Manchester are Joy Division, and The Smiths...

Slightly hypocritical there, you slam others for having no attachment ( "I've never seen one [Manchester United supporter] who isn't American or Korean " ) or living abroad to the club but you yourself have no attachment other than crying when Terry missed, outstanding loyalty there, and also don't live in any of the country's of the many teams you support. Most of the Chelsea fans I know started supporting them in 2004 - and a few have already distanced them from supporting them after another trophy less season, I won't judge them though, they're still my friends, I guess they're not proper supporters as they don't live 2000 miles away and cry when they lose?

The point I'm getting at is that people can support in what ever way they like and it's not for you or anybody else to judge them, I could criticize you very easily for living thousands of miles away supporting two teams, but I won't as it's not my place to judge, I don't know you in the same way you don't know any of the supporters you generalize, and for the fact of the matter is that Chelsea is full of glory-hunters who are lucking for the first opportunity to drop off. And for the people in your bar just because they don't wear their heart on their sleeve doesn't mean that they are any less of a supporter.

And the only good thing to come out of Mexico are burritos and my friends Cedric & Jose and The Mars Volta.

Dude, this is full of contradictions.

I've never understood why some people mock other teams (primarily Man U) based on where their supporters come from. What does it have to do with anything if football fans on the other side of the planet choose to support us or any other team? Some of them will naturally be opportunists but every successful club in football has their fair share. As Man U are the biggest club, they will obviously carry a lot of deadwood but I just don't understand this argument.

Im not stating that is wrong to go for Man U, regardless if your from any part of the world, but it is absolutely ridicolous the amount of people that supposively go for them and dont know the beggining of their history. I don't like them one bit and I probably know more than the oblivious bunch who wear a Rooney shirt. I respect those who are true fans, like Cedeo, regardless of the fact that his actually from Manchester because he knows he knows his shit. Ive met and seen a many of suppossed Man U fan that could not tell me the starting eleven, or who Roy Keene is, much less George Best...?.. it does grow to be quite irratating. Ill admit, that a large portion of the Chelsea fanbase came after 2004, and its just as annoying hearing them talk about their supposed love of the team when some of them did not even realize that they were in the CL final.

Everything else is just shit talking on my part because I have a personal vendetta againts Manchester and Cedeo for the most part...

we're linked with Yaya again. In all honesty, I'd take him over any of the other DCM's we've been linked with. But, I doubt there's any truth behind this one.

Really liking that justin.tv. I'm sure it'll come in handy numerous times this year when sopcast/tvu etc fail me.

I won't touch sopcast again, gave me a few trojans and other crap, TVANTS was good but still leaves ports open and vunerable, I prefer Justin.TV, a lot easier and download free!

nope, I wish they had the option too since the majority of the chat is just a bunch of racist idiocy. It also slows down the stream too...

Yeah definitely. And justin.tv stream quality is usually about the same anyway.

EDIT: Fletchlol.

I wouldn't say that. They can play decent stuff at times, and their defence is solid enough.

Never gonna look great against united.

They look poor, and they do have a solid defence, but they're not fast at all. They looked actually good last season, but they have been very poor today. I'm not saying Man Utd have been bad, they've been very good, and looking very sharp. But Pompey are just so glaringly poor, that it annoys me.

Yeah, my PC audio isn't working so I'm listening to the radio commentary. The stream is quite a bit out. For me at least.

I still think crouch and defoe could work for them this season. For some reason.

What the hell is with this stream?

I'm just getting a Barcelona sideshow with the most irritating music ever.

It's the ECUADORIAN Barca.

You get it with a poor connection, try refreshing or using a WMP link on match links 2.

Try this one: http://www.justin.tv/psn_2

Nani has so much quality but zero end product right now, as long as he keeps improving he could be a real threat for us in the future.

[EDIT] Haha, beaten

What program do you use to make/ adapt gifs with?

Fletcher misses and he suddenly is the shittiest player ever, wtf. Fletcher is awesome.

How is it possible that shit like Fletcher has a CL winners medal?

Shit?

He's a good squad team player who performs on the big occasions, I'd take him over Diaby, Song or Inler any day.

well let's not pass any judgement on Inler just yet. But, at least he's not injured after every match he plays like Diaby. :)

And there's a reason you brought Arsenal players into this was because...

He's a shit player, a squad player, but a shit player still.
