Vacuous generalisation!
For my sins my family come from SW London and I was born within a few miles from Stamford Bridge, I am the fourth generation of our family brought up with an irrational love of Chelsea Football Club (we're now into the sixth generation lol).
Even though I only live 9 or so miles away from the stadium work and family commitments as well as finances mean I only get to attend 3 or 4 games a season these days, however I'd far rather watch my team on TV that I have supported irrationally for 45 plus years when I can't go to games than attend the local non league crapola!
Before the foreign invasion English football wasn't really English anyway, most teams were full of Scottish, Welsh and Irish players, I seem to remember one of Liverpool's European Cup winning teams didn't contain one English player!
