Hello all, My name is Tim. Im from New York and been a Blue since the late 90s. Bit of a background: Growing up in Georgia(ex ussr), I always liked the Italian national team and Italian players (most people in my country follow Italy), so naturally in Premierleague my team was Chelsea due to the large Italian contingent (Zola, Vialli Robby Di Matteo Gigi Casiraghi, Dalla Bona etc). It was hard watching the premierleague as the broadcasts were limited but I would always watch Chelsea in Cup Winners Cup, UEFA and Champions League. Eventually I only followed Chelsea, attracted by the style of football we played. By the time I came to the States in 02, I was already fully a Blue and delighted to be exposed to better television coverage of our games. Ever since then, I havent missed a match. Looking forward to contributing to the forums! Thanks
