Calling it a horrible club with no real basis is just bitter and trolling. Wish you could hide awful posts on these forums

Perhaps it is but its his opinion rightly or wrongly;). And sadly no you cannot hide such posts unless you ignore the poster entirely. So people need to grow a thick skin or reply back in a more smarter way ie without having to resort to insults.

Personally i dont think Chelsea are a horrible club but they have a horrible owner, who goes through managers like they were sweets and they have a few players who i wouldnt give the time to ie Terry is one that comes to mind foremost. Maybe now with the CL win, Roman can relax a bit and let a manager whoever it may be, build a proper team. Hope RDM gets the job though, i like him and the way hes gone about his job.

Did Cech get fingertips to the Schweinsteiger penalty?

I was wondering why nobody was mentioning this...I picked up 2 papers this morning that reported it as "Schweinsteiger hit the post" and was thinking they were not giving him the credit he deserved for a great save.

Cech was immense last night!

If he hadn't of done that hesitating stagger thing, Cech wouldn't have got those fingers to it however.
 
NEWSFLASH : In light of this result and despite reports of them being linked with Man City - Chelsea fans have agreed to stay with the club for another 12 months.

My god it's painful reading your tripe. Are you seriously saying that because Drogba has scored in 8 out of 9 finals over the course of his Chelsea career that makes him exempt from the criticism for the games he failed to perform in this season? Drogba like all players find their goal scoring form diminish as they get older, again this doesn't mean on their day they cant still be a threat and turn in MOTM performances what it does mean though is over the course of 40+ games in a season their ability to do it becomes less and less frequent.



Well Scholes is back now and he's staying next season so I guess that means in your opinion because United now have 1 top central midfielder next season and if Drogba stays at Chelsea they have 1 top centre forward I assume that's fine and dandy for both clubs then? Because you know age doesn't matter does it?



Did I say it was a mistake? Did I? No. I said there's players out there (Falcao being an example of someone) Chelsea could have signed that not only could have done just as well as Drogba but because of his age done better, something you said hundreds of Strikers couldn't do



lol and you dont see the difference? Real Madrid rotating 3 strikers in their prime get 60 odd goals between them (assuming you're correct). Chelsea rotate between one over the hill striker and another also well past his best and they get 24 goals between them! Are you seriously that stupid you cant see the difference?



What was factually incorrect & contradictory was you said and I quote The only team I can name who won a title this year who have a single scoring striker is Arsenal. See the problem there?



No what I'm saying is you replace your best striker who's now only capable of doing the brilliant in a hand full of games with a striker who's capable of not only doing it in the big games but also the smaller games which equals massive improvement.



Show me where I said that? I'll give you a heads up though you wont find it and you wont find it because I'm one of Michael Carrick's biggest supporters. The point I made somewhat loosely about Scholes was it is a 'problem' for Man Utd to be relying upon a 37 year old.



Without looking at Drobga's past seasons the only retort here I need is that you yourself said only a few days ago Drogba was inconsistent.



Once again the great plan is to get a striker who's younger and thus more capable of the brilliant in more than just a handful of games a season, the monetary gain from letting Drogba go is that his huge wages can be be given to said better player.

about pens last night, version I heard: Torres volunteered to take one, di Matteo decided not to use him:Dont know about the Twitter version

Torres: It’s contradictory because I feel like I’m at a peak moment in my career, with more desire and hunger than I’ve felt in a long time

Torres: "but I’ve had to spend the final on the bench. It was a huge disappointment when I saw the line-up, perhaps the biggest in my life"

Torres: This season I have felt things that I never had before. I’ve felt like they treated me in a way that I didn’t expect...

Torres: ...not in the way that was spoken of when they signed me. We’ve had a lot of talks and we’ll talk about my future

Torres: ...because the role I’ve had this season is not for me, nor is it the one I expected to play when I came here. I’m not comfortable

Torres: I want them to tell me what is going to happen in the future. Football has been fair on us, on me.

Torres: Now I do feel like football is worth it but I’ve been through a difficult time. The worst in my career. Dont want that again

Torres: there’s been many times when I’ve felt lost, I wasn’t sure what to do. I felt like I didn’t know where I belonged.

Torres: I’m eternally grateful to my family who have been by my side and also for the support of the owners who have stuck by me.

Torres: And especially to the fans, if it hadn’t been for them this season I would have given up

Torres: I need the club to tell me what is going to happen and what sort of role I will have within the team, what my duties are...

Torres: ...what the club expects of me. And then judge whether it is worth it.

Hardly too surprising, guess it depends on whether Drogba and RDM stay
 
I don't understand these negativity agains Chelsea.

They "bought" the cup? Well, every club buy players. Nothing new there.

Negative tactics? It was a winning tactic, had they lost then you might be correct but they won against all odds so it was the right tactic.

They won it fair and square, there was no bad match changing decision by the referee, I didn't notice any bad diving that won any penalties for them.

11 v 11, they won so congrats.
 
I think the issue Raymond is that Chelsea's "tactics" are only justified by the result and not what happened on the pitch, because the reality is that Bayern lost the game through their own poor finishing. It was not a defensive masterclass, they conceded 34 shots on goal and the lion's share of possession and scored their only goal from the only corner they won in 120 minutes. I don't mind teams that set up defensively if they show a bit of intent on the counter, but Chelsea did no such thing in this game or the semi-finals. It's particularly bizarre they played like that as Chelsea were more than capable of matching Bayern.

It's also fair to say that no team wins these things without a slice of luck along the way but Chelsea take it to the next level. I make it 82 attempts on/off target across their last 3 CL games with only 3 goals conceded, that's an anomaly whatever way you look at it.

Also: :D

^^^ lol at JT.

Seriously, tactics, who cares? The history book will recall who won. Do you remember the tactics use when Porto won it? Do you think they care?

"only justified by the results and not happend on the pitch"

Would you rather it be the other way round? Ask the Bayen supporters.

I don't think Chelsea fans should care and they should enjoy their success, but I'm sure fans of teams other than those in the final would prefer it wasn't won by a team playing utterly turgid football.
