As soon as I found out the recent history of the team, I should have dropped them and chosen a new team, but instead I ignored the facts and mistakenly kept rooting for the Blues.
I now realize this is as bandwagon as it gets and I really dont want that at all. After watching Chelsea's 4-0 drubbing of Pompey this weekend, I realized I really dont like this team at all. I see them as overpaid and I cant support them any longer. I mean, SWP make 14 million pounds/year to ride the bench, that is ridiculous.
So now what do I do. I think I must choose a new team. I have a few stipulations but dont really know what to do.
1. No Big 4 (Ruling Out Chelsea, ManU, Arsenal, and Liverpool)
2. Some teams for whatever reason I just dont like for whatever reason
Which rules out Fulham, Man City, Tottenham, and Wigan
Ruling out a few other teams i cant see myself rooting for I am left with
Aston Villa
Blackburn
Bolton
Everton
Middlesbrough
Newcastle
Portsmouth
Sunderland
West Ham
So what the hell do I do? I am at a loss and am looking for advice from my "soccer friends"
