I'm an Arsenal fan...

I've always loved the club and their style of play but I started supporting them since 1999/2000 when they signed Kanu. My love for Kanu and Arsenal mixed together turned me to a loyal fan since then.

That Kanu Hatrick in 15 minutes against Chelsea burst my brain die... Since then, I kuku sign a lifetime contract with them. cool

I support Chelsea fc.

Here is how it all started.

Around 2005/6, I remember buying complete sports news paper at least once a week (was sold for 30naira then).

I just loved reading at the time and would read anything I laid my hands on; I loved to do so to broaden my horizon about life. I had been very curious since I was a kid.

So, Everytime I go through that newspaper and other newspaper's back page, I always glanced at the Beclays English Premier League Table and one team seems to always remain at the top, week in, week out. They never drop, at most, they slide to the second position and the following week, they back up and the club name is Chelsea (keep in mind, I didn't know nothing about club football outside of the Nigeria national team at the time), so it always fascinated me how one team kept up at the 100% pace and there are always 3 players names that always shows up amongst the highest goal scores namely: Didier Drogba, Hernen Crespo and Frank Lampard.

I took interest in the team, prior to then though — I had always heard of Barca and how skillful Ronaldinho was, but I never watched any of their laliga games. The EPL domination in the Nigeria mainstream media then; actually indulged my knee interest in the EPL hence, the need to follow up on a team in England.

Subsequently, i started seeing weekend match highlights of how Chelsea FC dominated the league, my goodness.... I was thrilled by their "conquer them all spirit", and I figured these guys took advantage of counter attacks superbly, so you better not be sloppy when playing them — I later learnt that the manager was a no nonsense person and very sensitive hence, they nicknamed him "The special one", I just kept falling in love with the Club. I would design my school books with the club name and players names alike.

Suddenly, Chelsea and Barca are to square up in a champion league match and it's time for me to pick whom to pledge my allegiance to.

I picked Chelsea and have remained with them ever since. And shout out to the owner, Owner Roman Abramovic. A machevellian business man who has taught me a lot about business with the way he manages Chelsea.

The blues for life.

As a staunch Man Utd fan. I started supporting years back when Pepsi Academy, Nigeria made a visit to Old Trafford. I was flabbergasted & felt the gargantuan gaga of soccerism

All Nigerian football lovers started with Arsenal, Chelsea, Baca, Madrid and AC Milan due to the African players in these teams. The dip in form led to cross carpeting. Only those that are naturally faithful, loyal and patient remained with their first love.

Ok

After watching Arsenal invincibles in 03-04, those guys were just tough to beat and I thought I was a tough kid then.

But now......
A team filled with weak *ss players.

No matter how hard I try, I just can't leave that heart break club.

My girlfriends no fit break my heart like Arsenal and I go still dey faithful.
