capriccioso

It seems a new source of water was found under the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich are reported to have bottled it. I'll get me coat.

Several FA Cups and a few league titles. Not worth 1 CL title, though.

It also helps that he was up against one of the worst big game players in the world, and one of the worst 'classical', unselfish-get-to-the-byline-and-cross style wingers. All he had to do was stop him from cutting inside, and even when he let him get through, watch him put it in row Z. Top work in keeping out Lahm, though.

Bosingwa had far more right to do that than Terry swanning around as though he was responsible for the entire thing. We may not have needed penalties to win tonight if he could have kept his temper in check in Barcelona.

To be fair to him, he is capable of some moments when dribbling when even he has no idea how he just managed to get by an opponent. Ashley Cole, what a man. 32 years old and still the best left back by miles. I revise my earlier opinion that Lahm is in the same bracket as him. But in current climate, it's no challenge to be the best full back around. FFS Bertand is probably already within the top 10.

I think he is massively overrated. Not bad probably is as fair a rating as you can give him. He's Inzaghi without any of the intelligence or delivery when it counts, and that sort of player is useless unless you're hosting Energie Cottbus in a Bundesliga fixture.

He's had an awful week. Poor lad. This is what he posted on off the crossbar:

His grandmother passed away.

Oh yes. This is the biggie, the one trophy I have always yearned for us to lift. Every year we just got so close yet couldn't finish it off. That, and it has a certain mystic quality about it that no other competition in the world does. The ghosts of legendary moments and players past, the fact that its on in the wee hours here in Australia, that the sun always rises while the match is being played... just incomparable stuff.

Can we get a statue of Gomez outside Stamford Bridge?

Malouda didn't fuck up about 25 sitters.

Hahaha Oh Lord, are they going apeshit on the Spur's forums: http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/the-official-come-on-bayern-munich-thread-t2155-400.html

Fuck the luck. We made our own luck. It was an accumulation of all the luck that's gone against us over the years. Gooners are small time pricks. If Arsenal had won the CL in such a stirring, dramatic fashion; upsetting the odds nearly every match from the Group Stage onwards, I would be applauding them, I would not care at all that they would have been the first Londoners to do it. They can't hack it that we beat them to it. If we were any other club we would have had the goodwill of millions of neutrals because of the incredible scenes that have taken us to this trophy.

You'll be stealing my reps though I love you all. The whole world got several shades more colourful today. I suddenly appreciate everything so much more.

I was right though Gomez had a shocker, what a shithouse he is. Happy to score 25 league goals against former East German mining outposts but if there's any pressure whatsoever you can guarantee he'll wank it up. Drogba did buttfuck Bayern's makeshift defence, albeit for only 40 minutes. I also said that Cole would easily account for Robben. 15 shots, 2 on target. Brilliant player. Jose had it right, he is "Arjen Feint Heart".

Pfft, we can sign who we like. EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS. Forget the better wages you'll get at City and forget Sir Alex at United, you will sign for the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE.

Damn it, Kez!!! http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/13446-champions-league-final-chelsea-1-4-3-1-bayern-munich/page__st__132__p__417748#entry417748

It must be gutting for the Bayern fans. Normally I would feel for them if it weren't for the cunts they have as legends and board members. They've got to turn up to that same stadium every other week and they will remember Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Mario Gomez proving just how shit they are. They'll never be able to banish the trauma.

Time to do the Double, the biggest prize in all football. The Premiership and the Champions League. We could end up with a quintuple. FA Cup, Champions League, Community Shield, European Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Even though the last 3 are Mickey Mouse competitions, that's still quite something. Something the Yids, Scouse and Goners have never done. Don't think United did it either, IIRC it was PL, CL, Community Shield and CWC.

Incredible, even Liverpool fans are happier for us than Arsenal's They're butthurt that we were the first Londoners to do it. Have some of that you short passing, left back selling, red scum.

You, sir, are a legend. What a brilliant prediction. Chapeau :tophat:

Brilliant from Mikel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q0qQuxXMxo

Another thing I learnt is that Robben is a spineless player. He was the most arrogant prick on the pitch for 120 minutes, but when it got tough, pussied out and got the goalkeeper to take his place in the shootout.

Recollecting from 8th grade German, that means: Your city, your stadium, your cup. They'll be feeling rather foolish now.
