As a longer fan I ' ll comment on that I have absolutely no problem helping educate newer fans on what goes on . Each one of us was a newly minted Chelsea supporter at someone in time . The difference is that , at least my generation and those previous , would always eagerly learn and seek out advice from long time fans and not refuse to accept it . We didn ' t bite the hand that feeds so to speak . I ' ve found the majority of the most recent fan generation to be completely self absorbed fans of players , not the club . Uninterested in history . Unrealistic expectations . Lack of involvement in the supporters community . Overrated self worth of how important they are to the club . The evidence of this is posted here daily and frankly it ' s too cringe to keep up with it all . I face palm at least once a day logging on and seeing topic titles before I ever reach the comments .
