He’s not going anywhere, no point kidding ourselves. We own the rights to his image, he still has commercial value, nobody is going to pay over £20m for this guy when Newcastle are scouting gold in the form of Cisse & Demba Ba for next to nothing.
Yea, never understood the animosity towards it in the first place though. That shade of dark blue is very nice and the yellow compliments it (especially at night with floodlights).
There was a sublime documentary which aired in the weeks before the movie release. Great storytelling from the interviewees, well crafted, a must see.
FYI, part 1 is part 2, for some reason.
Indeed, it's startling to say the least. The most concerning part of it is the similar club circumstances, and the psychological aspects, which transcends mere superstition.
Yea, Purely from an aesthetical point of view, I've always hated those german kits, with the sponsors on the back. 90% of iconic/historically cup final images are 'frontal' anyway, so it's all good.
Look, the reality is that 'either way' we have a non-football excuse. If we lose with the gold shirt it's because of the gold shirt. If we lose with the current home shirt, it's because we didn't wear the gold shirt, lmao. So...
The white 3rd shirt got us to the final. The current home shirt will forever represent AVB's unsuccessful era. The last time a Chelsea shirt donned gold for the first time, it was in a one-off final.. the community shield final. We won, going on to win the title....
Roman should land in the middle of a Lille training session by helicopter, present Hazard with a ticket for the CL final, and exit, without saying anything.
This is a final for Meireles, Ivanovic, JT & Ramires. Expect nothing less than man of the match performances. As bad as it would be if we were to lose this, the CL final is the be all and end all, so let's have some perspective.
There is a sense of occasion when your playing a final away from home.. Let's hope Bayern get a little too comfortable, it certainly won't be the atmosphere they will be used to in that stadium.
