The white 3rd strip is now the most famous shirt of the season anyway.. 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. Gold + Blue = winning combination.
So what happens if Luiz or Cahill get a knock during the final?, do we risk bringing on Ferreira in such a high intensity game.. Or use Oriol, he does have experience as a centre back after all.
Sure it's disappointing, but he's etched a place in the clubs history tonight, same for Ramires. 'If' (big if) we win it, they have truly earned their CL medal's.
It's disappointing, but thank fuck we have someone of Lampard's calibre to lead us out. He's more than just a vice-captain, those two are the heart & soul of the club. What it is with JT though?, scandal after scandal, off and on the pitch, smh...
When you spend as much as City have, 'instant results' is a minimum requirement, £500m on players and only an FA Cup to show for it. They are just an unsuccessful Chelsea atm. If Mancini remains at the helm next season, it will show just how clueless they are.
