If anything we should be at 3 right now, that Terry miss.. handing the scums the win like that..

Thank fuck we didn't gift another CL final to a PL rival, worst feeling.

Watery pitch - he slipped. I wonder if he could avoid the ball and not take the shot at all. What would have happened ?

The most satisfying thing about this CL success is that not one fan has or can tell us we didn't deserve it.

In 2012.. there was alot of luck involved whether we like to admit it or not but this year in 2021.... it was fully deserved based on merit and it seems the whole World accepts that.

🏆🏆

Luck 2012 I don't believe it bruv.

We played then possibly the best club side in the world, and in their own back yard, not enough credit is given to us for that achievement, I thought so then and still do, deserved it.

We fucking won it on merit, as we did this one👏

Probably retake the shot since he didn't touch it, think 2009 hurt just as much if not more, what a fucking cunt ref, we likely would've won the final.

Bayern and PSG might have the firepower but I'd also fancy our chances against them, especially PSG. Bayern played a ridiculous high line under Flick that was primed to get countered by us while PSG aren't all that wow beyond Neymar and Mbappe. 

Nahh we would have decimated PSG, our pace and work rate alone would have damaged them, City more or less toyed with them. Bayern would have lost too in the end cuz that high-line would be the gift that keeps on coming for this Chels team. We are the rightful winners and the whole campaign proves that. We dominated every team more or less.

Who the F cares? So many things didn't go our way either in the years before that.

(for the record, am not mad at you for saying we got lucky in 2012 lol)

I personally don't care too much but it is nice to hear the haters hold their tounges on this one.

The person on Roman's left is his son, right? When I saw that bit on Saturday, I was thinking "wow, he is all grown up now after he was last seen celebrating like a mad man in Munich". lol

We won many games with Tuchel with the score line 1 to 0. I remember it used to be like that with Mourinho Mark 1.

That is good, because defense was number one. And the defense that we had with Mourinho Mark 1 was much better then what we have here, so Tuchel done an amazing job. 

Let's see what evolution he will bring for next season.

Let's talk a little about Werner and Torres....

IIt's funny because Werner like Torres receive a lot of critiscim and Chelsea won champions league with both ahahahha

Does anyone know or have insight into why this 2021 scarf features the 2012 squad? Will it be the current squad when it ships?

Arkadiy Romanovich Abramovich
14 September 1993 (age 27)

He is the one that @OhForAGreavsie and I think was behind some (NOT ALL) of the bad moves from summer 2017 and 2018

the blown sales, the refused sales, the blown buys, the refused buys

the shit sales, and the shit buys

plus shit contractual management

something sure happened after 2018 to stop that all in its tracks

I think Roman stepped back in hard and gave more power to Marina, as she was made to look that bad person (I fell victim to that line of thought myself) when it reality it was the board and others

she did not decide whom to buy, whom to sell

she only handed the money negotiations, and did not make the final call (I think she DOES have that power now, and look at the results, so good)

the thing that changed my mind on her was when it came out she did NOT herself turn down Barca's £65m Willian bid, it came from above her, and was NOT Roman directly

that only leaves a few people, and I am sure Sarri had a fit on that sale and Alonso sale and helped put the old bovver boots to both of them leaving (fucker)

same for the refusal to sell Cuntois the summer before (ZERO chance he was going to renew, we fucked up BAD by letting him stay on loan for THREE fucking years at Atleti and putting down roots in Madrid), which not only fucked us out of 50 to 60m quid on his sale the next window, BUT then, when Oblak turned us down when we met his release clause, we panic-bought Kepa. I think her hands were tied in those 2 windows. Hopefully never again. The Hazard deal worked out perfect, as the money lost via not selling him a year earlier was easily recouped by us winning the EL and getting into CL with him, and then still RAPING Real Madrid for around £140m the next summer, when Marina had the hardcore power.

To be fair 2012 was more like payback for all the near misses experienced in the CL for those group of players.., so in some sense, still deserved.

But yep, I see where you're coming from.

The best thing about this years final is that we have an almost unanimous opinion about who was the better team.
