Special Juan

He was brilliant last night, a real ball dictator and far too good to be sat on a bench.

The refs decision has masked what is a pathetic and idiotic gesture by Ferdinand at the end. I knew that would get lost in all this, pathetic from him, the bloke is nothing but an oxygen thief.

I had ten quid on Dortmund at the start of the tournament to win it.....Long shot of course, but ain't looking too bad.

Police on the way to OT as it has now been classed as a crime scene by SAF.

Webb will see that United get their own back after last night in this fixture.

Christ, I don't hold the purse strings for CFC, nor do I have any idea what should be committed too in terms of price. You are talking as if we are discussing Florent Malouda here, this is Frank Lampard and putting his legend status aside the bloke still offers massive amounts on the field. We have made enough purchases of late that can be molded into his replacement ala Oscar and Kevin De Bruyne. But that doesn't mean he should be discarded as of now, the discarding should come to dead wood like Benayoun and washed up people like Mr Torres.

Fergie to distraught to go out for an interview...

United need to look closer to home, they conceded two goals in a blink of an eye......Or was that the refs fault?

By the way, love how Modric came on and took the game by the scruff of the neck.....Brilliant.

My love grows.

So, England's hopes of a Champions League winner rest with Arsenal. That's like relying on Jimmy Savile as your babysitter

Exactly. I wouldn't expect him to start every game, but we must remember he is still a goal threat whether starting (In the right position) or from the bench. Frank needs to be in and around this club he's a role model and I am sure he would give brilliant guidance to the young lads. The big picture is, sign him up, he won us the Everton game and scores crucial goals. What's not to get?

Wankers are out, night Fergie have that.......Doesn't feel so good now does it? Opens beers.

Rooney will not be happy.

I want us to play a formation where square pegs aren't in round holes. Like I have said this isn't just about Frank, it's about playing a formation to suit the strengths of players. We went to Boro last week and played two players holding in Ramires and Ake, why? Against Boro.....I'm sorry that is stupid and I honestly believe our lack of ambition against teams this season has been worrying, massively.

I also feel we always find it difficult to move away from one formation. It's constantly sticking with it and the same players, variation is a rarity. When Frank has played he has been shackled into this new so called 'Pivot' roll....Lampard should further up the field where he then becomes effective, not shackled because the formation says so. Play to players strengths but do not shackle them for formation sake.

First of all I wouldn't have rid of him, simple as that. I'd rather see Ramires left out as he is a terribly limited footballer and whilst we are onto limited footballers then Mikel isn't too far away from that either. Mikel has the turning circle of a truck, people say he does the basics right....I should think so, but terribly limited IMO. I'd keep Frank and replace Ramires if anything, seriously lacks in so many departments it's worrying.

Yes for me he does, he's a better passer of the ball than Ramires and is, and always has been, a constant goal threat.

It's just the club continuing on the pathetic path it's been on for ages now, still no sign of him being close to agreeing a new deal....typical Chelsea. I'm not surprised anymore, this club is a joke and a mess.

I hope Madrid batter them tonight, cannot stand United and that Whiskey nosed prat.

We have to hope Anzhi or someone like Zenit come sniffing as they are realistically the only clubs who are daft enough to shell out stupid money on him. Personally anything more than 15-20M would been a take and run.

He's needed here, and if he comes back this will be me in my living room.

Awful paper but I am clinging to anything right now..http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/301992/Lose-and-it-s-Blues-for-Jose-Mourinho/

Just give Ronaldo a free role tonight, he will pull United all over the field and the damage will come from Di Maria and Ozil. Simple.

I'll try and paint the picture of my day at home on THAT day. I began by putting up shirts, flags and all memorabilia in my lounge from early, then, I ventured outside and put up my big CFC Flag next to my SKY dish on a big wooden pole, it fluttered lightly in the May breeze. My son who's 6 was given all that chats and talk about previous heartache, he was ready and I was ready. The day seemed to last forever, my mate arrived over about 6pm, I began to drink faster and faster as the hour approached, the sweat began to roll, the room getting smaller and the nerves just worse and worse. KO time arrived, still drinking faster thinking it will make things better. I went from sat on the sofa to knelt down on the rug, I couldn't go for a beer I had no energy, as if I was on the field. Hands on and off the head, falling back in dismay this got worse. Then, BANG, Muller struck, my heart sank, I sank and my lad and mate were like deflated balloons knowing it was done. We had endured too much pressure, legs were gone and I was certain we had nothing left in the tank. Then as we discussed our next move we had a corner, "One chance Chelsea FFS lets take it please,please" I cried.....Mata delivers....."Drogbaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" The three of us up in arms, beer everywhere, dad and lad going mental, we never lie down at Chelsea now back on the beer as the adrenalin was apparent again. From Drogba the saviour to Drogba WTF have you done on Ribery....Jesus I was a mess, at that with head in hands I looked up at my boy and he said "Dad the big lad Cech will save this" and he did, back to beer everywhere again. Now penalties, god almighty I looked as if I had been sat on by Vanessa Feltz...my face was red, sweat pouring from every bit of my body and Lahm converts and Mata misses, I turned to my mate and son and said "While we have Cech we have a chance" I clung to this, I stood by it, my lad approached slowly knowing I was on edge, his arms went around me and mine around his waist, I whispered "Dad loves you son, Chelsea will do this" he replied "Dad you tell me all the time be positive, I am and we will win this"..... Fast forward and up steps Olic, Cech had gone the right way everytime, I said this, and BANG!!! Missed, que pandemonium at our joint Right Ash come on son you can do this, and to be honest I thought this was an unreal penalty.......Scores....Right now I'm getting excited, then that fucker Schweinsteiger steps up, I said "He looks fucked him, he'll miss this.......Missed.....OMFG this is it, the house is now in complete lockdown, I'm in a heap on the floor, my lad is praying and my mate with heas on the wall with back to the TV. Then from the TV comes those words "Written in the stars" something that will live with me forever, all three of us stood hands on shoulders with my lad in between us with his arms around our legs. Didier places the ball, two steps back and Neuer like a tank in goal.....I started crying saying "Please Didier please" up he steps.......Fucking YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I slumped in a heap as if I had been shot, crying uncontrollably, my lad on my back and my mate laid out on the sofa in a mess. When I looked up my lad said to me "Dad we did it, I told you" I have tears down my cheeks as I write this, so remember no matter how bad things get we have this victory for Chelsea so fuck UEFA and KTBFFH Much love.
