CL Final: United -v- Chelsea

Bounty Hunter

maybe there werent a huge amount of volunteers to take Penos on Chelseas side and he just did what a captain does and stepped up. not one of my favourite players but I feel sorry for him.

woulda liked if united had continued playing like they did in the first had and truely been the better side and thus really deserving of another CL title. In 99 they robbed Bayern, in 08 its penalties.

Congrats though, enjoy it Man utd fans

ShaneU

Terry and Lampard look unbelievably gutted.

I feel for Terry. That will be tough to live down

Chardee MacDennis

i REALLY hope that penalty miss ruins Terry, he is not a nice person and deserves it....

Xavi6

Last Chelski game for Lamps?

Ronaldo off to Madrid now he's won it all?

mada999

hope he does go.... utd be nothing without him..

APM

delighted for ferguson, deserves this champions league before he retires.....whenever that may be!

Xavi6

Did Bobby take a peno or something? WTF are they giving him a medal for?

staker

vidic for motm??

Chardee MacDennis

platini acting like a fool, trying to give a medal to booby charlton, fair play to bobby to turn it down.

Liverpool aren't a good enough side to even be factored into this.

you're a child it was obviously(EXTREMELY OBVIOUS) that is was a little joke, so just stay quite little child.

Fair play to Scholes. The pitchside reporter on the telly here said as soon as Van Der Sar saved it, while the Utd players ran off celebrating, Scholes went to the Chelsea players to console them.

Have to agree with Exit here, really what a "Professional," footballer should be.
Fair play to Scholesy, and deserves his medal after '99.

Great game from a neutral POV as well.

Coming from the man with the grammar and spelling of a child, I'm not going to take huge offence to that.

Fair play United, second best on the night, but certainly the better team all season. God it would have been so sweet to be able to say Ronaldo lost it for them with his rediculous peno, but not to be, hard luck JT. Id like to say we'll be back next year even stronger but with the seemingly inevitable mass exodus from the club I doubt it

Well that was quite a decent final.

Just a pity about the pitch, the weather, the diving, the "cramp", and the violence.

does dunphy watch the premier league, "that's his style", i mean wtf? i dont think he has the stuttered step this season, if at all?

whiskeyman

Good match from a neutrals point of view, although having 2 teams from the same league in the final actually has taken the edge off it for me.

Don't think anyone will begrudge United of being the best team in Europe overall this season, so in that respect they deserve to be European champions... However, I do think over the entire game tonight they came up 2nd best, but that doesn't matter in football, every great team needs a bit of luck... One of the better CL finals in the past 5 years...

Ya had Drogba in his pocket all night then got him sent off, which was a bonus.

Nice of Ronaldo to drop to the ground (and have a sneaky look at the dugout) and get the limelight on himself when the rest of the lads went celebrating.

CivilServant

I won't begrudge them, but Chelsea sure were unlucky. Poor John Terry.

In fairness, Drogba was carrying an injury and looked completely unfit...

jammy united s**m. make ya sick they would! :mad:

Jammy? They could have been a good few ahead easily before Chelsea got their equaliser. Maybe Chelsea shaded it due to the way they played in the second half, but calling them jammy just makes you look bitter. You'd swear Chelsea played United off the park from start to finish.

Mr.Nice Guy

United champions of Europe! Come on you reds!

Must be a terrible night for all the begrudgers. :pac::pac::pac:

Could have been so much worse if United had been beaten and the bitter Liverpool brigade got their way in here.

Possibly, though there are a fair few antagonising comments being lashed out at the moment, isn't that right Archimedes?
