I’m extremely proud to say that I’m now blogging (also) on the official Chelsea FC website. Any sports blogger will tell you that this is a dream moment. I’ve known for about a month that my blog would appear on the official website. I’ve been preparing for some time along with the Chelsea FC representative for this. Despite all this, when it did go live, it was an extremely proud and surreal moment. My 4.5 years of Chelsea blogging flashed before my eyes.
It gives me goosebumps to find my name, photo and blog in a space that’s frequented by Chelsea FC players, staff and coaching staff. It is similar to the feeling I got when I was in the Chelsea dressing room as part of my stadium tour a couple of years back. I was thinking, on a different day, Lampard, Terry and Mourinho could have been right there with me. It was such a thrilling feeling.
The day when I registered the domain name www.bluechampions.com, did I think that I’ll feature in the official website one day? No way. But I always knew why online communities are important and how their voice can be heard. Many times, in this very blog, I have talked about how significant these fan forums such as blogs and discussion boards are.
It’s natural that some of you might wonder if this will have an impact on my blogging in BlueChampions. Yes, you’ll have a more proud blogger on the key board. Some might wonder how will this change my style of blogging (will I become more politically correct?). There will only be positive changes. I’ll continue exactly the same way as I have so far, when it comes to expressing my thoughts and opinions.
The club loves to hear from the fans and supporters. They want to know what we feel about the club and the blue revolution. We will only help the cause by being honest and open. To invite the Chelsea bloggers to share some space in the official website is a great indication of how much the fan communities are valued by the club. There’s no two ways about it.
Most important part of this post now. Here are the links of the post and that of my bio. Here is the link to my first post – Who would have thought?. And here’s the link to my profile there. Pardon me for the pretentious look on the picture. Would love to see the BC folks get in there and show your support by adding your tuppence. I’m sure you’ll do.
My sincere thanks to Luca Massaro (Digital Marketing Analyst, Chelsea FC) who is the main man behind all this. He’s been extremely patient and supportive. It’s been great to know him and work with him. I’m sure this new relationship with him and Chelsea FC would continue and get stronger.
Finally, I must say I never thought I’d get to share the stage with Michael Essien. Note that I’m a few notches above him there (thanks to the alphabetical listing)!!
Congrats BC………………….
good
Congratulations matey…and you take us along as well, so thank you for that!
Congrats BC…really happy to see your post in the Ofiicial site. I started visiting Blue Champions in 2007 and I ve visited the site EVERY SINGLE DAY since then.
I read all the articles and almost all the posts out here. I used to post regularly some time back, but work pressures and lack of time prevents me from doing the same nowadays. If I do post, I want to make sure its something meaningful and not just some 1 line rant.
I m really happy that this blog has grown so much over the last 4 years and reached where it has today. I m hoping BC can do a great job there and grow even further. Maybe a weekly column in the official site or something like that in the future. The possibilities are endless and BC is talented enough. Hoping for the best.
Keep it up buddy. You ve made us all proud.
BC…You mentioned you ll be doing an article on the Financial Fair Play soon. Please do post something on that when time permits. It ll clear up a lot of confusion for so many fans.
Congratulations buddy…
Please let Chelsea hear our voice!!

“If you don’t have someone to motivate you then you don’t want to fight, this is why there are coaches,” he added. “I would have killed for Jose Mourinho, for the motivation he gave me and for how he used to stimulate me. With the other [Guardiola] there was football, but a coach must adapt his play to suit the players, especially after spending €70 million on one…..we were told by carlo there were only about 3 players playing to their ability …now with the slump going on for 4 months and then combining both points it doesn’t reflect well on him as coach…especially when you have so much talent at your disposal yoiung or old…off the topic but I thought this comment by a player (Zlatan Ibrahimovic) reflects my thinking and seeing what we all see..which isn’t just the poor results but a bigger malaise…seeing united play marseille they had some ordinary players but what wasn’t ordinary was the fight shown and dscipline.
READ THIS POINT ON MOTIVATION

or lets look at it another way…sturridge can’t score with us…but soon as he gets to Bolton bangs in 3 almost straight away……
Wohoo… Congrats BC!
Hi all! Thank you very much for all your love and affection. Really makes me very proud! Cheers! Keep the blue flag flying high!
Congrats Brov. Hope to bring new ideas to the Club’s hierarchy.
What’s this i hear about Ash? Good Lord the Anti Chelsea media will tear us apart with this one. Why do we always give them ammo to destroy us before an important match. A good weekend with Looserpool losing, Citeh drawing and L’Arse blowing a trophy again. Then Ash blows it with this “kiddy stunt”. What is a grown man doing with an air rifle at the training ground anyway? This is so embarrassing
my blood is blue
I’ve a version of the Torres chant that might get him a few goals…
His Armband said he was a red, Torres! Torres!
But now he’s left the scouse for dead! Torres! Torres!
He used to play at Gerrard’s side,
but now he plays for London’s Pride,
FERNANDO TORRES, CHELSEA’S NUMBER 9!
NANANANANANANA…etc
i thought an official blog was the way to go about getting it out there.
I think turros can do better than last season he must give chences this time
