Chelsea

I have decided to tentatively throw my support behind Chelsea of the english premiership. I have a couple reasons why they get my support and a reason why it is tentative.

Why them?
1. I saw some snippets from the exhibition games they played in North America and I liked their style... at the time that is, see why tentative below .
2. Frankly, I don't know if anyone of my friends is backing them and I like to be different. I'm pretty sure Mike's an Arsenal guy, Brad bleeds Man U blood, Carlos... Real, not sure about a EPL team for him, Patrick is required to back Celtic by Irish law, not sure about Janny.
3. They have an Icelandic striker, gotta be true to my norse roots! word.

Why tentative?
1. They've been playing a godawful boring defensive style. They could be so exciting, if they don't be exciting, my support (for what it's worth) they will not have. They were exciting back in the exhibition when it didn't mean anything.
2. They're currently second. I hate to just up and pick the team that's 2 points out of top spot. I hope Mike will back me as I told him a week or two ago that I liked Chelsea from the exhibition round. By the way, Mike is available for private poker lessons, learn from the king!!
3. They've bought a team. Not my thing, but it appears that's what you do in the EPL if you want to win.

Hmmm... almost makes it like I'm more against cheering them on than for them. What can I say, I'm fickle.

What's the word on the mass Tron outing happening on the weekend? Has everyone got their unitard ready to go?? For the sake of all involved, lets avoid any grape smuggling incidents shall we? I likely will not be joining the Tron clan, sorry lads, I will don some gay apparel, fa la la fa la la lah lah lah, for the night out - provided there are many Tron's and the token bad guy (Alfie) going as well. Ahhh.... maybe Tron will happen anyway. It'd be cool in a really really sad way to have a score of Trons out at one time.

It's worth noting that Chelsea's Icelandic striker sucks ass. Although it was pretty cool when he turned up to pre-season last year as a fat gambling addict.

Ya, he notched 3 against the worst team in the league though. I like the fact that they have a 25 year old who took some sort of sexual performance enhancing drug. Well done indeed.
