Stupid post. Terry in particular did as much as anyone to get them there tonight, so why shouldn't he enjoy the win with the rest of the squad?

Really? The Russian owned club composed mostly of foreign players are anti-irish? Jeez

You mean like getting himself sent off in the semi.

Roy Keane did more than John Terry to get Man Utd to the CL final 99 and wasn't parading around in a kit. Also Paul Scholes considers his 2008 CL win his only medal. Different folks I guess.

From another forum about Terry in his kit: 'That's the quickest John Terry's got changed since Wayne Bridge came home early!'

Great win for CFC delighted for Drogbra, Terry and Lampard. :D

But Mike, it was over at half time, surely coming back from that is an achievement?

Sorry that was referring to my viewing habits on a Saturday night - the Bridge started a 9 pm and it was the last two episodes so it was all going to be over by half time for me!

When Didier put that penalty away, I couldn't believe it! I couldn't scream or anything, I just sat there crying.

Amazing, just amazing.

Oh, then I remembered that I bought a bottle of Champagne, just in case we won and then opened it about ten minutes later. LOL

Traditionally Chelsea's support have been very Loyalist, ring-wing, and racist. Links to Rangers and Linfield fans and the NF.

Even though i was going for chelsea , i felt so sorry for schweinsteiger at the end when the cameras were all over him. I blame robben for missing the penalty and gomez for such a **** performance in front of goal. Olic too for same reasons .

A section of their fanbase promote this "Blues Brothers" nonsense, which is their link to Rangers' and Linfield's fanbases, who generally dislike us down South of the border.

you could throw similar accusations at Celtic and some of its fans regarding links to SF and IRA but hey I guess just because it's Celtic and all with the good irish connections it can be overlooked :rolleyes:

don't judge an entire club or its support by a few idiots; people can follow whatever club they want/like... why does there have to be an 'irish' connection with a club to follow it?

Well, that's your opinion. A question was asked and I answered it correctly. If you don't like that, tough.

Nobody is overlooking Celtic :rolleyes: (who I couldn't give a toss about), a question was asked about Chelsea.

I never said there had to be an Irish conection, you're welcome to "support" whoever you want.

Er, notice the ? at the end of that?

My point being, whether true or not, that politics and religion do not belong in sport.

Unfortunately there still some like you that keep dragging in on, Rangers, Celtic or whatever. Get a life.

Goodnight!

Chelsea!! The Champions of Europe!!!

Fair play to all the well wishers ye're well appricated.

Thank christ we won it.

Delighted for Torres, justified his move to a big club in England.

Also, Spura well done, but unfortunate :pac:

I can die happy now. Two things I wanted to see happen (that I was never sure would happen in my lifetime) have both happened in the last 8 months: Dublin won the All-Ireland again and Chelsea won the Champions League.

How we won it, I have no idea... but all that matters is we did. And we did it the fúcking hard way, leaving the battered remains of arguably better teams in our wake. No arguably about it in the case of Barcelona, in fairness. They are a better team, but so what? 85% possesion... only 40% of the goals over two legs.

We were once again riding luck tonight like nobody's business: how many times SHOULD Bayern have scored, but didn't? And for Arjen Robben to miss a penalty and then to bottle out and not take a penalty in the shootout (where he would most likely have scored and taken it to sudden death or won the fúcking thing), it was bittersweet; a player I admire, but to hell with admiration tonight.

I'm fairly pissed as I write this, and my pizza is about to arrive, so I'll sign off with this:

"I told my little girls that Chelsea are the best team in the world, and tonight WE ARE! GET IN THERE!" -Frank Lampard, captain fantastic for the night...

Just home from watching it; delighted for Chelsea! Hate Bayern's attitude; arrogant twats. Delighted for Drogba, he is a seriously inspirational footballer, what a hero. Fcuk Robben, Ribery and Neur; you amateurs.

Banter and jokes my good man. i actually think Spurs were unlucky. They finished 4th and we robbed a UCL final.

Im not trying to wind ppl up but when your club wins a UCL i have to celebrate it.

I apologise if ive wound up Spurs fans, I honestly didnt set out to do that.

Its very rare that a club who finishes 6th will take a UCL place from a team who finishes 4th an I honesrly feel that Spurs can feel extremly hard done by but ye lads will be back next year.

I have a family of Spurs and West ham fans and they've all wished Chelsea well since the win so I cant wait to visit Upton park and renew rivalries at the Lane next year.

Biased? Commentating for Sky Sports with Chelsea in the final and that is a complaint from a Sky Sports subscriber?!? Jesus. English based player commentating on an English based digital channel with an English team in the final of the most prestigious club competition in the football world and you are complaining that he is biased!? What do you expect! I am delighted a hardcore Man Utd player can be delighted for a rival club now he has retired.

"It could never get better than this for English football". He emits spectacular sound bites!

ALSO just to mention Neuer's penalty. Haven't really seen it mentioned. Quality of the keeper to step up like that and take a good penalty like he did. Had some arrogance going in with the chin up too, stroked it home. Cole had the best penalty of the lot though IMO, went same side as he did against VDS in '08. VDS got a hand to it and couldn't stop it iirc, Neuer couldn't get a hand to it tonight. Smashed it into the corner, great peno.

Also Torres won the corner that Drogba scored from. If Roman noticed that then maybe he won't feel that bad about the €50 mil price tag :P

Watch it again. Neuer actually kind of scruffs it a bit. bobbles into the corner. Not a clean connection. Fair played to him for stepping up but he was clearly bricking it with that run up.

It went in and thats all that matters....but technically it was the worst peno of the lot.

Technically I thought Bastian Schweinloser hit a good penalty but was unlucky not to score. Irrelevant though.

Dedicate that to Spurs

He didn't scuff it? He just stroked it in to the corner. Cech guessed the right way and still didn't get to it so don't know how it was the worst of the lot. Schweinsteiger arguably didn't hit the target (Cech did touch it, didn't look like it was going in anyway) so surely his is the worst of the lot. Mata's wasn't good either, went to place it instead of power it and didn't get it near the corner. Also I thought Neuer had the most confident run up of anyone, but that's just one mans opinion. Drogba was looking good too though, not much of a run up all d same! Frank was most composed me thinks
