Hi guys I am the fellow blogger Prathamesh here...This is my second blog... And incase you want to know which club I support , just read on....
I think the title to my blog gives it away... There is only one set of supporters who are smiling at present in the Premier League and thats us, The Blues (cockiness intended)
My love for the club started in the 2002-03, when the club was struggling to reach the top 3 spot in the league. Our best players that season were Jesper Gronkjaer (yup, you will have to Google him), Eidur Gudjhonsen and a certain Frank Lampard. This was the season when a bushy haired Glen Johnson was bursting onto the scene. (As always, the English media pronounced him as the next big thing and the rest is history..)
To be specific, the moment that made me a Chelsea fan was when a left footed Jesper fired in a screamer from the left flank against Manchester United at the Bridge which landed in the goal and I enjoyed it...!!! Would like to interrupt here and add that later on Jesper admitted to it being an intended cross..!! But who cares, especially since it was against United..!!
Since then, the club have never looked back and neither have I... Its been a glorious 7 seasons and there is no reason why the 8th wont be better !!! In those 7 seasons we have won 3 Premier Leagues, 3 FA Cups and 2 League Cups and performances in Champions League which many teams would envy. (Naah, thats not history, or is it?) The club has been mocked for buying the titles,called moneybags and all other type of rot. All I can say in defence is that if money got you titles, City would have been playing for their third title this season. And about players being bought, how many people really knew a Drogba, Carvalho, Ferreira or a Robben before they arrived at the Bridge ?? Infact if you check the records, our top performers in the two back to back championship seasons were Lampard, Terry, Gudjhonsen and Duff, who were at the club from before the Roman Revolution started. I believe and I maintain to this day that the best transfer in the history of Chelsea was a certain outspoken Jose Mourinho. The man taught the club not just how to win but also how to play like Champions. He brought the Winning mentality to the club which clubs like Liverpool, United and Arsenal already had. He made the world stand up and take notice of Chelsea FC.
Astonishingly, the club has moved on from him (which I, at first, thought was not possible) and here we are today with a relatively new manager, new style, on the back of the best season in the history of the club but the same mentality...
''Win at any cost...''
Today the world counts us amongst the elite. Today we are the team to beat in any league. Today we are the Champions of England....
We are Chelsea Football Club, hate us, despise us, ridicule us but you sure as hell cant ignore us...!!!
