Hey

[Otsa 3]

Hey, as you can see I'm from Estonia. My name is Martin. First time I heard of Chelsea was in late 90's. I was at a birthday party and I was wearing a jersey that looked like Chelsea's and one kid asked me "what are you? a Chelsea fan?" I thought it must be a football club since he played football himself. I was more of a basketball player and only watched football when the local team played ( The stadium is about 10m from my house) Years went by and I occasionally watched a few Champions League games with some of my friends. It wasn't until about 2006 or 2007 before I saw my first Chelsea game. I checked their match results from time to time but really wasn't a fan. You can say I was a quiet supporter.

Since I'm joining the army in october and I won't see any NBA or NFL there (there's probably a lockout too in those sports) I thought why not become a fan? This season has been a rollercoaster ride and I'm a Blue for life.

One of my really good friends is a ManU fan so it's extra fun when Chelsea kick them out of the CL!

Usually when I have become a fan of some team they have done this at the end of my first season as a fan:

Philadelphia Sixers: Reached the finals in 2001,lost to Lakers

Philadelphia Eagles: Reached the Super Bowl in 2004,lost to Patriots

Philadelphia Phillies: Reached the World Series in 2008,won the Series (started watching them in 06 but watched like 1 or 2 games a season)

Philadelphia Flyers: Reached the Stanley Cup finals,lost to Blackhawks

Chelse FC: ?
