Benfica v Chelsea - EL Final - k/o 7:45pm - ITV/3e

oldyouth

I drill it in to young lads all the time, possession, style, attempts are all well and good. If you don't score when on top, you risk getting bit in the arse

Is it just me, can no-one else see ALL the other Chelsea players in full kit who weren't playing, why pick out terry?

Terry really is an embarassment.

Himself, Ashley Cole and Abramovich are the main reasons I can't stand Chelsea

It's tempered somewhat by the fact that I like Rafa and players like Lampard.

How did Demba Ba get a medal. Was he not cup tied?

Same way Terry got a medal walked up to get one

Must have missed that

I don't understand Benfica. They were all over us in the first half, but barely had a shot on target. They seemed to want to walk it into the net.

We do have to be thankful that they seemed reluctant to shoot, though what shots they did get off weren't great from what I can remember.

It looked like they were terrified to lose possession in case we hit them on the break, which is fair enough given the first goal.

Hazard is wearing a tasteful black suit on the telly I'm looking at.

As we saw with Cardozo though, they did have a guy up front who could score if they gave him more quality service.

Because we all dislike Terry and have decide to abuse him, he deserves it all.

Have to say, the Europa League trophy is a beauty.

Legion.

Either UEFA or the FA request that the team wears full kit when collecting the trophy. Everyone just jumps on Terry because its easy.

Essien

Not to take anything away from Ivan and his peach of a header - but how beautiful would it have been for Lamps to win it with that long range effort near the end.

Congrats to Chelsea on becoming champions of Europe's 2nd tier clubs

Yeah cause United did really well when they went into the Europa League.

I believe that makes Rafa Benitez the 5th most successful manager of all time in European football competitions.

Would have been great but that looping header was a thing of beauty.

Michael Owen can walk up in one of our kits for all I care if it meant winning a trophy.

Well at least it's rational,
Ah well, good thing romeu, yossi, Turnbull, hilario, mikel, etc aren't hated otherwise they might get stick too, like Rooney did at the weekend, oh wait....

I suppose when this kind of stuff comes up it just means we've won ANOTHER trophy, tis a tough life:)

Not really, when Liverpool won the FA Cup in 2001 and Redknapp was club captain he and Fowler lifted the cup with Fowler still in match gear and Redknapp in suit.

The trouble with Benfica is they always try to walk it in

Blatter

Looks like Mouinho v Guardiola in the Super cup then providing Dortmund don't pull off a shock.

The FA Cup.. 12 years ago. Times can change pal. Didn't you see Rooney collect his PL winners medal on Sunday after getting changed in to full kit?

I don't mind people trying to bash our team, go ahead. But if you are, at least make a proper rational argument. Unlike "omg terry is such a loser changing in to kit". Anyway, Undisputed Champions of Europe till Saturday week. Woot.

Why the fcuk is this kit sh*te being discussed in depth.

Chelsea won, Terry smugs it up, he's allowed to if he wants.

He can enjoy his ice cream with sprinkles on top.

John Terry and Frank Lampard lift the Europa League trophy. UEFA regulations mean Terry must wear his full match kit for the presentation.

Well done Chelsea, think cech made one save. Benfica good till last ball, was hoping for extra time!!

Because its Terry, there are literally zero other reasons.

Why didn't hazard have to wear the kit?

Its only when its terry. As evidenced by the complete lack of abuse for rooney for doing the same thing 3 days ago and nothing being said about ivanovic getting in to his kit and dancing on top of the goal posts after the cl last year.

Exactly, terry is a prick so he deserves the abuse, its really as simple as that.

Because smoking a cigar on a football pitch looks better when you wear a nice suit.
