Yup, a category dedicated to Football (or Soccer, as it is called in the New World). I'm hoping to add the rest of my posts in the past that purely had a football theme. That's, of course, when I get the time to do that kind of reorganization.

Oh yah. Are you a English Premier League fan? If so, I have a fantasy league that you might want to participate in. Best of all… It's freeeeee! Contact me for more info. That's, radragon AT gmail DOT com. And don't worry, the league isn't just for Chelsea FC (…the greatest team, the world has ever seen) fans.

Ok, so it was only a friendly; but a friendly against our biggest rivals, the Gunners. Drogba's goals are definitely a sight for sore eyes (or however that saying goes). It's a pity my boy Frank Lampard wasn't exactly in top form… He's just warming up, I think. The new kits are brilliant! I can't wait to get one. I have to wait a while, though, 'til they come out with the women's shirts. That, or I can always get a kid's kit. Overall, a wonderful game and I am sooooo looking forward to the upcoming season.

“Ruud Gullit once said that he wanted people to hate Chelsea. He said that teams become popular when they're underachievers, that teams become hated when they're feared and that they become feared when they're successful. In other words, the degree of hatred that people aim at us is a reflection of our success. When people come on to this website and say that we're lucky, we're buying the title, we have no history or pedigree and that RA will disappear in a couple of years, it's music to my ears, because it's them acknowledging that they fear us and that we're successful.”

Of course, most of the talk is fueled by the media– in fact, other FC fans in the UK are quite happy with our recent accomplishment… Any press is good, I suppose!

And now, for our boys in Blue: Ferreira and Drogba with the League Cup:
