Ollie

well Barca dont have a manager (i think rijkaard has left) and Inter & AC wont have for much longer. Hes got a good choice.

Everyone is behind you JT. Just get over it and lift it in Rome. Your tears were shared with ours (lol defo mine, i balled like a baby...) Who wants to win it on pens anyway we wanna beat a foreign team like Real Madrid 3-0 in 90 mins

GTA IV online mode is brilliant. You can have 16 man races, do team missions, team death match, free roam with as many as 16 ppl with the whole map, everything. The game tho gets a bit boring i think. Mission after mission after mission. When i was a kid, i could play a game like this straight for 10 hours, doing missions non stop. I really struggle doing that now.

Name rings a bell. Welcome back. Good to see you found us again.

Well it wasnt a surprise. I heard the news about 6ish and i must admit i was relieved. Avram knew he was only caretaking and lets be honest, so did we, well i did anyway. I do thank him tho. He did a great job if you actually look at the stats and think about it. We aint lost in 2008. He did everything we wanted of him. only luck stopped us from winning anything. Wasnt to do with him even tho i wouldve prefered to see sheva on instead of anelka on weds, missed trick. Nothing changed, the great players that we have, did what they are paid to do so he had it decent anyway from the word go. Wish him all the best. Couldnt have done anymore. Next manager please.......

I can't for the life of me see him joining them. Hope i'm right lol because that would be traumatic.

You can see he didnt spit, he just gave him a few reminders what he might do to him next season. I hope we get them opening game, i really do. At Old Trafford. JT wouldnt spit at players.

Nothing would surprise me. Not even Jose coming back. Even tho he wont. I have a sneaky feeling we may just see him again, but it wont be straight away. Roman knows he fucked up. He might even make him an offer he cant refuse. And he can.

I never had a doubt about Belletti (Brazilian) but i honestly thought it had the makings of bringing sheva on and him putting in the 5th pen. He scored the winning pen easily in 2003. Fucked the last one in 2005 but at least hes been in the situation. Hes an excelent pen taker in general. Trick missed.

i agree that this "Buying decent players" attitude has got to be changed to buying top proven world class players. This season has had such a devastating end, we just need to go and sort it all out without fucking about.

Its funny, i mean he slipped, he has taken pens before and scored with ease. He just lost his footing. He even put VDS completely the wrong way lol. Its easy in hein site to say kalou shoulda just taken it, but he didnt. We've gotta just move on from it. Wednesday was a nightmare for us all and for millions of Chelsea fans and every player. I guess if you look back, Ashleys pen shouldve been saved. It was a huge shock that ronaldive missed, but also Cech shoulda saved the pen before JT's. We missed 1/5, Mancs missed 1/5. Thats how we perhaps should look at it.

I hope holland win it, i'll support them because ive got dutch family and ive always prefered their way of football to everyone else's. Dont like italy, france or germany even tho in think germs have the best squad. Be really good to see the dutch win it.

He is superb. I watched him banging in the goals in pre-season, he seemed to score in every game. That hattrick was last week. Hes a real talent, very very good player. Be great to see him, but used properly.

We have stuck by the team and the players, we are showing our support for JT too. Every real Chelsea fan is with JT in this moment, he feels our pain and we most definitely feel his. It will inspire us to win this tournament within the next 3 years i believe. We've got to do it. I know theres a bit of a split with priorities but i must admit, for the last 2/3 years, the Champions league has been my number one want ahead of the league. After yesterday, its made me want it even more and so much more. More so for captain marvel himself than my own personal feelings. Also that fact that we aint ever won the damned thing. i always said i would never be seen crying in public, like watching football in a pub. How fucking wrong was i. And who the fuck has reduced my sig thing by 1%.....

If he was playing so well, he woulda played more. its a simple theory and its true. Hes been average or below in most of his games this season. Hes not a match winner and he doesnt change games. If he wants more games, he needs to get that extra 10% to his game, worthy of the possition he plays.

Shit maybe happens but theres shit and theres SHIT! and that is seriously SHIT!

That is the worst feeling ive ever felt. I fucking cried in the pub ffs it was THAT BAD, i just couldnt help it. I still could quite easily cry now looking back at how close we came and knowing that we have to wait another whole year for another chance. I would rather of seen us lose 3-0 than that. The shot against the post, the shot against the bar and the oppertunity to win the european cup by scoring 1 penalty and blowing it, Kalou shoulda just taken it but its easy in heinsite as john terry has taken very good penalties in the past for club and country (Newcastle in Asia Cup, Portugal at Euro2004). First half ok we were lucky not to be 3-0 down at half time but after we scored, we battered them. The goal difference in the league doesnt lie, you can clearly see that we dont take or create chances when on top and in my opinion that is down to the 4-5-1. But then again, i cant say that because we had 40 more shots than man utd in the champions league up to the final but only scored as many goals. I dunno what the problem is but we are not scoring when on top in games. Fenerbahce away is just an example. Maybe, if i try my absolute best to make it better and more bearable i can say the luck man utd had when we hit the woodwork was evened out as we shouldve been 3-0 down at half time and lampards goal was very fotunate. Also if you look at the shootout, we both missed 1/5 so it was even, even if Terry's was to win, maybe Ronaldo's was to win but was just taken 3rd. Damn i'm trying my best here because i'm so gutted, devastated and feel like becoming a serial killer, good job i aint at work til weds 28th! Gotta give credit to the guys tho, they played so well from the minute lampard struck, it just obviously wasnt meant to be and anyone (Chelsea fans) who has dig at john terry for that penalty are Grade-A* arseholes. The man is an absolute legend. And as i said to a manc fan (From London obviously) yesterday, "You better enjoy this season because next season you aint gonna be so lucky, just wait, next season we'll get both them trophies and you will feel as fucking pissed off as i'm feeling now, just wait, enjoy it you cockney red scum". This supporting football teams lark can be seriously damaging to your health, its more damaging than smoking or drinking or even both at the same time. ahhh just pretend Drogba's shot went wide and Lampards went over....

its quite funny reading some of the times when the game starts for you lol. 2pm, 3am, midnight lol.

We got revenge last year in the FA Cup final, now its time to do it on a bigger stage. The only ppl that want us to win is Liverpool and Man city fans end of story. Arsenal Fans (Well the ones i know) and most of the london lot want the mancs to win.

well apart from the obvious nerves, i kinda have £200 on this game too so that dont help. When i was drunk (i was wrecked if truth be told), the day before the Liverpool - Arsenal and Chelsea - Fenerbahce quarter 2nd legs, i said to my 2 mates (Gooner and a saudi manc) "We are gonna win the champions league, its our turn, your 2 teams can fuck off, our names on it" so i bet £100 with both. Anyway the game is like TODAY and i dreamed about it last night that we won 2-1 and SWP got both, how fucking random as hes not even gonna play any of the game lol so i certainly aint putting that bet on. Gonna be down the pub by 6, probs be half drunk before the game which i always love to do, so much more fun. Pub'll probs have a kinda 60/40 chels-manc split like the fa cup final so this should be a quite interesting day.

I actually thought this game was fucking awful and last years was better. Good to see the English FA Cup staying in England, and down south too, not up fucking scummy north. I can handle that.

over-rated cheat, thats all we need. We dont need to revert to players like that.

Nothing was stated here really. "You have to be prepared for the team to change after the final because people go, people stay and people come in". This happens to every team, every season. Currently i reckon Riccy is the best defender in the world, but if he goes then so be-it, it happens. Players dont often stay for the rest of their careers. New challenges etc. Maybe Lamps will go if we win the UCL, he wouldve done everything he couldve possible done, he can't achieve anythiung else. Everyone has to move on.

Good to see another former member of TC back. Think i remember the "Alonsue" name was a cross between that F1 guy Fernando Alonso and your name Sue and you had it on the back of your Chelsea shirt if i remember rightly .... Anyway welcome back
