Do you say 'us' or 'we' when talking about Chelsea?

[Beepu 1,714]

I was on another forum today (non football related), in a football thread and was talking about how WE enjoy being the underdogs.

And this one kid, said this to me:

"You're in the team? Woah, which one are you?!

But for real, don't get upset that people think Chelsea are going to lose. Chin up m8"

I know alot of us here uses we and us when we talk about the team, but is it not common in general? Then again the boy was a tool bag, kept mentioning to me to not be mad when people write chelsea off, while I've said I welcome it 2 times previously. It could've been a keyboard warrior looking for an internet fight, but is his point valid?

I say "we" when talking about Chels.. in Hebrew and in English.

I only say 'we' or 'us' when I get really lazy otherwise I will always refer to Chelsea as Chelsea. I generally dislike referring to myself as the same entity as a sports team. 'We/us' makes little sense to outside of a fan context (I identify with the supporters of the club not the club itself). 'We were all upset when Sunderland won'. This is fine by me, as I am one of many supporters that feels this way.

However: 'We should buy Arturo Vidal'. I very much dislike sentences like this as I have little to nothing to do with transfers or any other activity concerning the club. I much prefer reading 'Jose should buy Arturo Vidal'.

i always "we" in english or in hindi when talking about chelsea. it might sound weird to others but the amount of time i spend, talking about chelsea, reading about chelsea, watching chelsea etc etc,,, we is the easier thing to say.

still remember when i started my college and used "we" for chelsea when talking with my then-not-so-close-friends, they called me out on it.

its not just other people. a while back, even "bushman" called me out on using "we".

so it depends from person to person, i guess

i think spike brought this up before once.

i don't mind it anyway. i use "we" and "us" most of the times

[Jype 6,398]

Here I use the term 'we' and also when talking to other Chelsea fans elsewhere but I don't know, just feels wrong to say that when discussing football with fans of other clubs because they're clearly not a part of this 'us'.

Kind of like Spike said, I consider the term 'we' to refer more to us as a group of fans rather than a part of the club itself.

Using 'we' or 'us' identifies your allegiance to Chelsea as opposed to being neutral or against.

Couldn't agree more! Being a Chelsea fan is like being part of a whole other family. Win, lose or draw 'we' are all in it together.

I use both.

He said m8 instead of mate. He's a cunt.

[Kieran. 6,317]

I personally find it a bit cringey, so no.

[bababoom 4,478]

To be honest I don't really think about it. But I do use 'we' and 'us', I see nothing cringey about it at all, we do support the club. In R/L nearly everyone I know who's into football says 'we', it's normal for me.

[Yeboii 1,844]

I do it out of habit and laziness lol.

I don't find anything wrong with it at all, he was just trying to piss you off by saying that.

I think Jambo put it best a couple of posts on top of mine in this topic.

[BloodIsBlue 291]

It doesn't matter.

[Henrique 9,133]

Today is the day for weird topics:

-Is Chelsea the most hated club?

-Do you say us or we?

-Just got banned from Liverpool's forum (why a Chelsea fan was in a Liverpool forum in first place?)

I think I might just open a new one:

-Do you say Jose, Mourinho, Jose Mourinho or Special One?

Maureen. He told me he likes it when I call him that :heart:

I say "us" or "we" when talking to other Chelsea fans or on here. I usually don't say that to other people. They always say stupid shit like "oh what position do you play?" Or "how much do you make?" So I generally just say "Chelsea".

That's probably a good idea. I love chelsea, and if winning the CL or PL means that idiots like him who just trolls gets his bollocks kicked once a day, I would gladly take it. I always thought that the supporters was the 12th man and we are a part of this team and the club. But I'd rather not be called out like that, just because I don't have enough patience to deal with idiots.

Football is a 12 man game, and 'we' are part of the team.
