Supporting Chelsea was amazing fun until 2003. After that it all felt pretty much bought and fake, except for the moments when we somehow backed ourselves into being genuine underdogs. The peak of that was the 2012 CL run under Di Matteo when basically everything went against us and we still won it, contrary to any kind of logic. I never felt much for Terry and Lampard. Drogba was the guy. Late developer, went mental, horribly underrated by rival fans at the time (though probably not now).

Nowadays at least the Russian stuff is gone but American capital isn't exactly any more lovable, the team is nonsense, and I'm old. Going to watch them is miserable as nobody likes the District Line and you have to sit among coke-addled losers.
