Falcao reminds me of Shevchenko during his Milan days, when he used to be one of the most dangerous strikers and one of the best finishers in Europe. Sheva used to score for fun, he had a goalscoring instinct and you'd rarely see him miss chances when he was at Milan. He didn't think twice, he used to shoot from everywhere which is what made him such a great player, and Falcao is the same. He doesn't waste time thinking either, he doesn't even waste one second, he knows that his job is to score goals and he's determinted to do that from the first minute. And we need him, because players like him win you games. Roman was late when he signed Sheva, but for Falcao now is the perfect time.

Screw the Club World Cup and the Super Cup. Screw the Champions League knockout stages too, we won the trophy that mattered the most and that's all that matters. Our triumph in Munich was simply monumental and for me it will remain as the best moment of the year, and one of the greatest in my life. We may win it again, but it will never come close to the feelings of the 19th of May. Nothing will ever come close to that.

Has to be my third most disappointing Chelsea moment after Moscow and the 2009 CL semi. I felt so devastated yesterday and I still am. This is a major disappointment, and to be honest I still can't get over it. The defeat against Atletico was heartbreaking even if it wasn't the most important trophy to win, but this one's much worse. Winning it would've been a fantastic achievement and we would have a golden badge in our kits now. Our triumph in Munich was sensational, we played ugly football that night but we had to beat the best team in the world to get there, and each player gave his 100% that night, and in the end it paid off. In Monaco and in Japan the team showed no desire, no hunger and no spirit. Who knows when we will get the chance to win these two trophies again.

We're the worst European Champions in history.

Moses has been useless. Can't cross or penetrate from that right wing. Benitez has to bring on either Oscar or Mikel for the second half, or both. It would be a shame if we failed to win this. It simply is a must win.

What's so special about birthdays? Stopped caring about them ages ago. But my last birthday was special, thanks to this

Really looking forward to this game, will definitely wake up excited tomorrow morning. And I can't remember the last time I woke up excited.

Nice work. Do the avatars appear smaller now btw, or is it just me?

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.

Away goals rule

I don't expect us to take Europa League seriously to be frank, even though I'd love to win it. But as long as we win Club World Cup this month I won't complain.

Frankly I wouldn't give two shits if this happened and had we not won it in Munich. But the fact that we're the first champions to not make it to the knockout stages is just embarrassing. I stopped celebrating our goals after I heard that Juve scored. Fuck everything.

Believe

If we don't I'll still keep my Chelsea cover photo, which has trophy whore Bosingwa right in the middle.

If Shakhtar beat Juve tomorrow I'm definitely putting a Shakhtar Donetsk picture as my cover photo on Facebook, and I might keep it for a few weeks.

To be honest I'd also laugh if somebody told me he'd become the biggest flop in world football history. I still remember the night we signed him. I always was a big fan of him and I can't even describe the feeling when the site announced his signing. Everyone on this forum was so happy it's unbelievable. And then when he scored his first goal everyone was celebrating like we'd won the Champions League, Cech said that he had never seen the Bridge erupt like that and even Drogba described the crazy celebrations that he'd heard from the dressing room. The rest is history

He's back

*raises hand*

In order, for me, it's Terry > Ivanovic > Cahill > Luiz. Luiz isn't our best defender, he's skillful as a footballer but he's not intelligent enough for a defender.

Lampard is useless now, they said. It's all about Hazard and Oscar they said.
