May I point out, but no pun intended here. I also been watching football for decades, got to like Chelsea back in 2003, been supporting them since. Just because one lives outside of UK, it does not make him less knowledgeable about football as some of you tea drinkers might think. To attend games live, still should not be a criteria of his/her knowledge about football games either. Prove me wrong, but somehow, I get the feeling you based your opinion on games attended in person. Today´s technology allows us to watch live games from our living rooms. Of course, we might be missing the atmosphere & all. However, when I looked at some of those rowdies & their behavior at the games, sometimes I am glad not to be sitting in the stadium. Just my thoughts & a piece of bombastic view.
