Hey everyone, my name is Tommy and while I'm a new football fan I played all the way through college. I follow international play and have been to some MLS games but never any in Europe. I recently decided that I was going to pick a favorite team in the EPL and go all out in my fandom. I chose Chelsea mainly cause I liked playing with a lot of their players on XBox One. The last week I have immersed myself in nothing but the Blues. I feel like I'm getting more comfortable with the team and the league as a whole. Since DirecTV broadcasts all the games I look forward to an exciting season. I joined the forum as a way to learn from more experienced fans and eventually offer my own opinions. It's funny how quick my allegiance has blossomed, I was rooting hard against Arsenal today in the Champions League, lol. Thanks for all the insight and I look forward to earning my stripes as a fan!
