I'm moving to London from Canada in September because I'm studying at KCL. I am an AC Milan supporter, been to a few games at the San Siro and I visit family there every few years..

Now here's the problem. Chelsea or Arsenal?

The signings each of the teams are making are really putting a claim into glory at the end of next season.. Now of course I want a team that wins, but I know thats not all a supporter should want. Who has the better atmosphere? Better youngsters coming up?

What do you guys think?

Please don't whine about things like "why not try a smaller team you glory hunter?". I will be a long way from home, away from family. Let me have my fun

Thanks!

Watch them both, go to the games of both teams and decide who you prefer. I'm biased, so I'm going to say Arsenal but if you're basing it on success then it's unfortunately going to have to be Chelsea

The atmosphere at the Emirates (on the few occasions I've been) isn't that great either, but there's always vocal, passionate fans around somewhere, and I've never been to Stamford Bridge so I can't really comment.

This is such a weird question, but why not just watch games of both on TV, go to a game of each in person and decide which you feel a better connection to?

More chance of glory - Chelsea
Better atmosphere and youth - Arsenal

Leyton Orient.

[Giant]

Just see who all your mates at Uni are rooting for and tag along

[multiplexing-gamer]

Chelsea!

[Left Hand Drive]

I find it weird people can't already have a team at this age. I don't like Chelsea so go for Arsenal.

[mikeyd85]

Arsenal. If for no other reason to enjoy RvP's goals more than the neutral viewer. He's a class act.

If you're going for a team with the most success in the past few years, it's Chelsea.
Personally though, I find Chelsea's 10-0-0 style of playing dull and boring to watch, so if you're going for a team who plays the more interesting style of football, it's Arsenal.

[Grand Pepito]

Barnet!

[Beatlemania]

I think Millwall are the closest to the university, so support the local team!

Seriously though, if I was given the choice out of Arsenal and Chelsea, it would be Arsenal.

[Fusion]

South London Reds aka Charlton

London atmospheres are rubbish.

I've been to both stadiums a few times, rubbish fans.

I would say that watching Arsenal was vastly more entertaining though.

[Dorito]

If you held a gun to my head and asked me to pick Arsenal or Chelsea... then I'd get shot in the head.

[Jack22031994]

Why Chelsea or Arsenal?

Why not spurs,qpr, Watford, fulham,charlton, leyton orient, west ham,or one of the other teams in London?


I'm a Liverpool Fan

Everyone knows that there are only two teams in London, of course, silly me.

OP, make some friends, go to games with them, support that team. Don't choose before you go because your judgement will be clouded by the people you meet.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I guess you're all right saying that I should check out a few games before I make a decision.

@Jack22031994 I know there are many other teams in London they simply just don't interest me.. Is that fair? I don't mind checking out a Tottenham game though.

Hmm.. not sure really. I guess I am being a bit of a glory hunter here.
