this is not written by me, and in fact taken from a post on d cfc-net forum. i swear, this is how it feels like supporting Chelsea. and it's so true i don't know to laugh or cry. however, no matter what he says i can't imagine anything other than a Chelsea victory at the Carling Cup final on sunday!
To all you newbies out there - this is exactly what it's been like supporting Chelsea for 35 years.
They suck you in until you think you're actually gonna do something amazing and then fate/the CFC effect combine to snatch it all away from you.
It's like with "big" signings, it seems every season we sign somebody (usually a striker / flair player) who is going to set the division alight - but ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING HAPPENS - they lose form spectacuarly (Fleck , Sutton, Kezman) or just cannot settle (Crespo, Veron ) OR their career is ended before it started (Casiraghi / Elliot / Laudrup).
Years ago I could laugh at all this but these days instead of expecting us to fail I'm expecting us to win and it hurts even more when we don't. I truly believe that something at the club is cursed.
A word of warning - This season we've beaten Liverpool twice and been the 2nd best team twice - although every fibre in my body is Chelsea through and through and I'm willing the team to win on Sunday - I just know we won't. It's the Chelsea way - we'll dominate the game for 89 minutes with Gudjohnsen caught offside 85 times and Kezman hitting the bar 4 times when Liverpool get a corner which hits Gerrard on the back of the head and deflects in off the Refs behind for a one nil victory to the Reds.
Then Gerrard will move to Chelsea in the summer and break both his legs falling out of the coach on the way to our first away game of the season thus ending his career. Mark my words its written in the stars.
lol.
