Term-X

Yea, we're pretty much stuck with him either way, nobody is going to pay £12m, as he'd want grandiose wages on top of that. Owning his image rights is somewhat of a consolation, it's not like Liverpool can commerically exploit Andy Carrol in the same way, for example.

I create all my own shit, only using subtle effects though, tint's/cross processing/lighting manips etc, via adobe.

This particular piece isn't one of mine.. Legendary though.

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.

This RDM side have developed somewhat of a habit for defying the odds.

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).

^ That doesn't even make sense from Robben, we 'adapted' our game for Barca. Like Ballack, he's a cursed man in finals anyway, so fuck him.

Robben hasn't had much luck in the big finals has he, on a club & international level. Similarities between him and Michael Ballack in that sense.

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.

Yea lmao, "sometimes he don't mean to do a skill, but he does a skill"... Typical Kalou, nothings premeditated. Surprised Ash forgot about Mata..

No, that was only with Nottingham Forest.. Besides, he wasn't at leeds long enough to do that (44 days).

On the positive, Munich is the 'underdogs final' (Nottingham Forest 79', Marseille 93', Dortmund 96'). The Leeds/Munich final was in Paris.

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.

Least intelligent Salomon kalou, no surprises there then.

That's what Mikel did... ^ Smart shoes, smart trousers, Chelsea shirt.

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.

Bayern also have gold stripes.. Either way, a shirt with gold stripes will lift the Champions league come may 19th.

We're all starting to sound a bit insane now, lmao.

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.

Bill Hicks on warm weather: "What are you, a fucking lizard? Only reptiles feel that way about this kind of weather. Y'know, I'm a mammal. I can afford scarves & coats." Winter > Summer

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.
