I didnt have a football club. Reading this board and their fans( except Jimmy )I was leaning...Then that youtube video and the game against arsenal pretty much sealed the deal.
I watch the games... I figure at 47 yrs old I might as well pick one before its too late...
Chelsea is a very swanky part of town, with Stamford Bridge being close to the Thames, where real estate is the most expensive.
Arsenal and Tottenham stadiums are both north of the center of London. But Emirates makes Arsenal one of the highest-grossing clubs.
Reasons people are put off by Chelsea are probably Abramovic and Mourinho. And Terry isn't well-liked either.
But then, the English probably don't like any foreign managers and there are a lot of them in the EPL.
Looks like the cheapest tickets for Arsenal and QPR are 25 or 26 quid while Chelsea has some under 20 pounds. So affordable for the middle class but those are probably in the corners of the stadiums where you see more of the fans than the pitch and it would be games against shitty clubs.
The sport has working-class history but like American sports, as they move into new facilities, they try to attract the richest fans. After all, the biggest stars in the sport earn as much if not more than the highest-paid NBA and MLB players.
I heard there's a law that a certain percentage of matches must be available on "free" TV as opposed to only on Sky? Though if the owners limit the broadcasts to pay TV, that will hurt ad revenues and probably the overall popularity.
Things didn't look so Crystal for Chelsea today as the PL is up for grabs again. Speroni's monumental save on Hazard was top notch. City and Liverpool with games in hand now, a big blow for Mou's team.

If they beat Chelsea and Man City coming up, they will have earned it.
WHAT??? Maybe you should support Chelsea or more appropriate Man U.
Have you seen them play? How are they doing it? err scoring more goals than the other team and with a little style.
Cinderella, f*** me side ways

Yes, Boca lost to River in the Superclasico.
10s, I have a serious question. Not trolling.
Don't you have a hard time supporting an Argentine team given the insanely non-competitive way they structure the league? That bizarre cumulative points system exists for the sole purpose of ginning up Superclassicos, tossing all sense of competitive balance right out the window.
I used to enjoy those games for what they were, but with both teams having such patchy stretches over the last few years I've really lost interest.
