What to know before you follow them

Chelsea change managers and squads often. Supporting them recently has meant accepting upheaval as normal, and the club's ownership story is still being rewritten.

What people sing

  • Carefree

    The main Chelsea chant. Short, repetitive, and aimed at reminding everyone who they think they are.

  • Blue Is the Colour

    An older club song still played on big occasions. Easy for a newcomer to learn.

Who the rivals are

  • Tottenham Hotspur

    A London rivalry with real edge, especially when both clubs are competing for the same prizes.

  • Arsenal

    Another London rivalry, sharpened whenever both are near the top of the table.

Following them from America

Grew fast during the Abramovich trophy years and remains large, with strong chapters in major cities.
