A Quick Note
Sorry that I’ve been MIA recently Blues fans, until BBC decides to start paying me and Bryan for our dedication and alcoholism, work unfortunately has to take precedence to my regular posts.

Liverpool 0-4 Tottenham Match Analysis
With about 25 minutes left to play, I wanted to turn it off.

Blue is the color – an introduction.
Hi. I’m Gordon, and I’m a Chelsea fan. Have been since I started following the beautiful game, and haven’t for a minute regretted my decision. Being a dedicated footy fan and living here in the states is a tough gig. It often requires shifting around my weekend schedule, waking up in the wee hours of the morning, finding a reliable stream that more than likely has very continental...

WHAT IS RED SHIRT BLUE SHIRT?
Red Shirt Blue Shirt is a blog about football in the eyes of two lads who happen to be great friends but support opposing clubs - Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC.
We talk about footy all the fucking time so we thought why not start a blog about it? Though neither of us is actually scouse nor chav (considering we’re both from California), we know the EPL better than most, and that’s what...
