You had your chance to be offended when you was Korean. Now you're just plain old boring Beepu your report will fall on deaf ears.

Lol would only be offended if it was NK because the guys there suffer day in and day out, but lol offended Aussie.

Since leaving school in 2011, I've rotated absolutely everything around football. Not knowing the score winds me up. I've ensured that my football coaching across the country, that my jobs, etc. would all come second to Chelsea games. I can't focus at work when Chelsea are playing, so I just choose not to work on match days. I used to get my phone confiscated from my bar job from being sat behind the bar watching games on Sky Go. Then when I became the gaffer I made sure I was always working an AM shift if Chelsea were on in the afternoon/evening. I refuse to coach when Chelsea are playing. I re-arrange my teams' fixtures if they clash with Chelsea. If I have to go somewhere, I'll follow the game on my phone through Twitter and other various apps but I'll always do my best to make sure I can catch the game. I don't think I've missed a competitive Chelsea game in my entire life. EVERYTHING is dropped when Chelsea are on because that's my wind-down time when I can follow one of my biggest passions. For instance on the 3rd of March when we play Wet Spam, I'm going to watch a concert with friends. That won't stop me from checking the score on my phone every 60 seconds.

You might think that sounds sad. If you do, then fuck you.

Football is a chance for me to escape from the everyday mundaneness that is life. University deadlines and juggling three jobs is a fucking bitch for me. I look forward to being at home watching the game, or being sat in front of my PC listening to the commentary and watching a shitty stream that is lagging about five minutes behind real time. It kind of makes up for not going to the Bridge that much anymore, as I just can't afford it. What about if a loved one passes away, or something upsets me? Then football becomes even more important. It gives me 90 minutes to focus on something else.

Me and my ex-girlfriend had an anniversary on the Champions League Final day

My mum got me a ticket for Munich (Yes the final), as her and her mates went and I had to turn it down after a 'discussion' with her.

Shaking my head even as I write this, girls are evil lads, steer clear.

You had THE ticket and you did what? :o

Alright a different angle to this, what was the craziest thing you had to miss to watch Chelsea?

Personally, probably my cousin's wedding.

My cousin had a wedding last November. I'm in the background of some of the bride & groom photos. The photos make a hilarious flickbook. Me talking.... Me subtly getting my phone out.... Me checking the score.... Me hugging my dad.... My mum telling us both off.

Genuine true story. I'll never unknowingly not know the score while we're playing. It kills me too much not knowing.
