Heartbreak At Moscow | Proud Of The Blues
Injustice. Sheer injustice. Anyway congrats to Man Utd but even Fergie would acknowledge that the better team lost. As much as the defeat I could not stand the sight of an inconsolable Terry and a weeping Ballack. They do not have to feel guilty or ashamed. They played a great final and were just 2 seconds away from winning it. It’s cruel but that’s football.
I’m very proud of the way Chelsea played tonight. And yes, John Terry, I love you and I mean it. You’re a legend. Chin up, we’ll smash them all next season.

15 MM for Anelka . Can’t score a goal. Can’t take a penalty ..
3. IwasMissingJose
@39 i don´t want to blame any of our players. Its God that was against us throughout the season and again in the final match. I feel miserable.
4. Chaka
Jose Mourinho left with all our tropies…He was a good man
5. Morten
It’s not possible to be any closer to victory.
6. chris
@40 - God gives us opportunities. We got to take them. 2 times the strike bar. Joe Cole also has a good chance to score in the second half.
Sheva - European Footballer of the Year - left on the bench. I feel miserable for him.
What happened to Drogba . The rules are clear, why raise your hand and that too in final. Hope some club comes buying for him. He has been cranky since Jose left..
7. IwasMissingJose
@43 i would rather blame referee for today´s loss. For the similar foul tevez didn´t get even a card. He should have been sent out. and he was quick to show cards to chelsea players. and not 1 not 2, but more than 6 bad decisions against chelsea in todays´ game. i felt he should be hanged for his mistakes.

First of all congratulations to manchester united. Today the better team did not win. Chelsea did everything that could be possibly done, but it was just not destined for them to lift the trophy. We excelled in all the fields, from the keeper to the attack.United were obviuosly the second best team but that didnt matter. John terry, whom i dont isolate for blame, missed probably the most important shot in his career so far, i cant beleive how he must feel right now. If it is anything that we can take out of this game, it would be inspiration from this defeat. Sometimes defeat encourages you to do better or inspires you to do more, than if an acheivement is made. Under all opposing circumstances we took a full strength united team to the wire once again, but in this case, it was just not destined for us to win. So this has been the first trophyless season for a while, and hopefully next season we will be back hungrier, and stronger than before, and this time prove it with trophies. May the blue flag rise forever……Blue4lyfe.

@40 God was never against us.What we lacked was a sound manager who can win finals.Remember carlin cup.Now champion league.His decisions and starting line up in finals have always been poor.He seems confused in such big matches.Why start Maka?Why start Malouda?Mourinho never plays Maka in Manu’s games.Thats not Maka’s kind of games.Mikel would have been the perfect pick.Kalou would have made more sense instead of Malouda.Essien would have fair better in the middle.His progressive move forward brought us our only goal.To cut a long story short,Roman please get us a quality coach.
10. SH.IBRAHIMI
i’m so fuckin proud for our players .. from the 2nd half till the end we totally outplayed them so for this i’m very disappointed and especially for JT he really deserved to score the matchwinner so come on u blues.. be proud of our players ..
11. chris
@44 - Agreed Referee was bad. But I feel in a final, our players got to keep cool also. Most of our players were complaining and walking on the rope. ( Maka & Joe , Ten Cate pulled Maka after first half whistle).
This spoils the image of our club and referees ( human beings after all ) have all this in their back of the mind. This is what I feel.
If Drogba was there , he would have taken the penalty. If a youngster does this, you can understand, but him with all the experience.
I had a great respect for him last season. He carried single handedly the entire season. But his attitude, this season has been bad.
12. IwasMissingJose
@47 if the referee starts to give wrong decisions one after another, even a dog walking by would lose its cool. And after all this is final, and even small decisions make a difference. Thats what happened today, they just boiled at the end, when it was too much.
13. chris
@47 - We can argue about this all day along. Referees gives wrong decisions, because of the image our players have created.
14. IwasMissingJose
i know, its worthless to dicuss all that now. i can´t believe that i cried today.
15. Adonis
I was very disappointed, but not sad at all. My chin is up, bring on the next year you buggers.
We deserved the 3 points, so to speak, after regulation, we outplayed them over the first 90, and then anything can happen in the penalties.
What a team!
KTBFFH!
16. Blue IS the Colour
its wrong to blame the game on any of our players today..we played a much better game than Man Utd. and we know that. we cud almost smell the trophy but yet we didnt get it… and hey, lets take it as a learning experience..trophyless season, fine, let that motivate us to go all guns blazing next season on all four fronts…because if theres one thing im certain abt, it is tht no team (and i mean NO TEAM) can handle chelsea FC at its best . Blues Forever
17. churchill
that was depressing… i have some close friends who are ManUre fans and i am sure i will hear from them. why is anelka even taking that penalty?? but also cech kept ronaldo out! great job by chelsea though… just wait till next year!
18. MourofEssien (MoE)
Thanks to all of you blue fans and to all of you BC bloggers for a wonderfil but trophiless season. Cheers to the boyz for great spirit against great odds. cheers to Steve clark and tein cate- thanks to Roman and Pete Kenyon. Thanks to Grant for at least having the desire to make it happen. Now its time to turn the page by doing what should have been done months ago- move Grant out of the seat and get us a world class manager to restore pur capacity for trophies.
I said it here, that keeping essien at the back was detrimental- we needed his surge and energy- fearful grant had no balls to do that. Jose used Essien there only when we needed to go all out attacking.
Thanks to average grant but time for him to move on.
19. indianfan
Every kid can predict Chelsea line up - 4-3-3 . Only thing , one can’t predict is if Maluda will start or Kalou.
Essien was the best player and should have started in CM. Good that we got Bosigawa for that RB role.
JT - You are the best.
20. cap123
i feel so bloody bad for jt, and all the boys, but when the club means so much to him that must be one of the worst feelings in the world.
i think if grant gets himself and the team sorted, next year we will win the premiership again, and possibly the champions league. We just need to find a replacement for drogba and i think we will only improve.
21. amiaq_ferguson
in the first half, i tought we were playing FA Cup game against Cardiff City.. only few minutes b4 half time our defenders give too much space for the blue champion resulted in Lampard scoring.. p/s:with the help of our defender. and the rest is history.. we were outplay by chelsea. good game to chelsea. u prove that money almost can buy success. and ur player can actually play a good physical yet attractive game. one thing for sure, in 2nd half, our passing were terrible, giving out possesion and still u cannot take that advantage.anybody who watch the game should agree with me.
22. AgentBlue
JOHN TERRY just made himself to be a legend!!!!!
I can honestly say That I am proud to have this guy as our captain!!!!!!
I have never been so proud to be a Chelsea fan in my entire life……….
The spirit, passion, determination and courage showed from the beginning of the first half to the end was just fantastic!!!
Ballack, Terry, Lamps, Makalele, Ashley were just amazing today……so much passion!!!
Thank you boyz…….
23. Chaka
@cap123…What!!!You are still talking about AG coaching the Team next season.To the left with that nonesense.I dont want to see my team get to two cup finals and lose again.Thats more hard to take than losing in the second round.Anyway,I still thank God for thus seeing us this far.
24. cap123
@chaka
well i too would regretfully like to see him leave, i think he seems like a nice bloke whose tried his hardest but is a little out of his depth.
But it seems like he will stay, wasn’t there a recent quote or interview that said he’s almost sure he’ll be here next season? and especially with the recent amazing games, roman is being entertained despite losing and will want to move on with this entertaining formula.
25. Nihongo Blue
I wrote in the preview that definitely ronaldo is one goal due against us and we helped him by offering essien at RB. ronaldo gave him very tough time in the first half almost like we are playing no RB infact. We were lucky that it ended at 1-1 at half time. 2 easy chances missed by tevez and that move started by rooney of his own half was a charm to watch. Our goal was really a luck one hitting 2 defenders and landing in front of super frank who rarely misses. In some sorts it resembled essiens goal against fenerbache where he was benefitted for continuing his run. I think it is really lampards speciality to find spaces and goal scoring positions yet critised if he underperforms in a single game. Super frank you are a hero.
2nd half and extra time we could have easily killed the game but were very unfortunate not to get back of the net. hitting post twice. lampards turn and the kick was great so was drogbas effort of no where. I think ballack wasted a lot of shooting chances which could have atleast been on target. he shot almost 7 times from promising areas. bad day at office german. The 2 free kicks also didnt induced any save from keeper. One chance of essien when he blasted his shot over later to see even a half shot would have been a goal as keeper had slipped off. man utd meanwhile were geting poor from bad.anyways 1-1 full time ill take it.
On to penalties and in come balletti. I wonder why sheva didnt came in place of balletti. He is a proven penalty taker. something is definitely wrong . its not just about football there with sheva.
After seeing cech going wrong way for the first 2 penalties scenes of liverpool started coming to my mind. I wonder how worlds best keeper cant save penalties. cech proved me wrong and stopped ronaldo telling him he better keep his foot on ground for future.4-4 it was and we were european champions just millimeters away. But destiny had something else and terry missed. rains made him slip and the even when the goalie was going wrong way terry missed target. finally the inevitale happened and the 15million striker with 2 goals missed . van der sarr again proved that their success in last 2 seasons has a lot to do with him and not just ronaldo.
Its actually easy to take such defeats when no one really wants you to win. everyone wanted man utd to win and they won. Lets be a team which everyone wants to win next season.

26. Nihongo Blue
I feel sorry for terry for what he has to go through whole his life. I have had a similar event in my life and believe me it haunts big time. you will always come across a few non sense people who would directly blame the indivisual for everything. terry is strong person but it will still be tough.
for me terry you are always a hero. It was your clearance of giggs shot on open goal which brought us till penalties. It is your partnership with riccy which has won us so many trophies over the 3 yr jose span. i would always have your good memories.
27. cfcfan
Great, None of strikers even in the first five penalty takers. We need two defenders to do that honours.
JT, you are a great hero and you had the will & guts to take that spot kick ahead of our strikers.
28. blue-fan
Drogba - One time Asset, now a liability !!
Even after Sheva scored against Bolton and considering his Champions league experience, felt depressed, that he could not even come as a substitute.
29. pandayumyum
john terry is absolutely the best
hes a great capt. and it breaks my heart to think that he thinks he’s blown it for chelsea
the boyz played great out ther and im genuinely proud to be a chelsea fan today
30. JoseHoliday
KTBFFH !
Congrats ManUre too !
31. blabliblublu
all played well xcpt that sulking anelka
get that guy out
he doesnt hve that chelsea spirit
shuldnt blame any OTHER players
we ll b the champions next year
chin up
32. Arul
Even though i am a Man Utd fan i must congratulate you guys on how your team played. You guys are probably smarting about your loss right now but you guys have nothing to be ashamed of. Eventually one team had to win it and we had that extra bit of luck that was needed. The game itself was wonderful to watch and i must thank you for that. Fair play to you lads and better luck next time.
33. Vipul~Blue forever~
I hav just stopped crying,it’s been whole night i just can’t digest the loss.
I hav made biggest decision of my life is not to follow football ever.Apart from the whole world, even The Almighty(God) was biased for mancheaters united.I didnt expect that at all.
34. nozbleed
Avram should start with Kalou instead of Malouda, big mistake to play Essien at right-back.. it was an easy free header C.R took, bad marking. And I think Avram should bring on experienced Sheva in 2nd half. Anyway I’m proud of Chelsea and the players except for Avram. Forget this bad miserable season.. all I know is that we will give no more chance to MU, Pools nor Arsie next season. We don’t even gonna give luck a chance cuz we will not play by luck anymore. For that Mr. Abramovic, please kick that Toad’s fat ass outta Blues’ seat, and hire a better man. He don’t even fit to be our Sport Director.
Get a good right-back, and a super striker to replace Drogba. Rumors have been linking us with Geovanni dos Santos. He’s a right wing ataccker, good to have him to compete with Joe Cole. Hunterlaar or David Villa in the center and Kalou gonna have his place.
Peter Cech
Dani Alves??
Carvalho
JT
Asley
Ballack
Mikel
Lampard
Kalou
Villa / Hunterlaar
Joe Cole / G. dos Santos

@BC
It’s such a bad feeling.But last night made me the proudest blue ever.I have never been more proud of our team.
We started very poorly and took almost 40 minutes to settle in……..manure’s could have been easily 3-0 up by the time we settled in.
for first time i saw big-game bottler cristiano being the best player on pitch…..essien was being humiliated……joe came to the rescue………together they were able to completely vanish the threat of ronaldo.
malouda had one of his better games in blue shirt………..drogba was in his off mode though manage to hit the bar.lampard,ballack and makelele were brilliant.
but once we settled in,there was only one team who controlled proceedings and that was chelsea.
long live chelsea………..i m proud of terry and very person associated with our club
36. MoiBlue,
” There is only one team in BLUE playing football “
” The best team lost the match”
——————————————— TSO
Though he is the manager of Manure, congrats to Sir Alex, and his famous quote
“Football, bloody hell”
————————————————-
You know, Terrys is the best captain of all the football world playing right now. Only dissapointment of the match, apart from the loss, for me is that Anelkas substituted ahead of Schevas.
————————————————–
The loss only made us even more stronger.
37. andrew
ballack,j cole,lamps played supereb and we deserved a win but we lost it and ballack missed so many long range shots,and he is not in full form for chelsea still..because i have seen in germany playing many important matches and he used to score regularely..
38. blueindian
i m in pits….really heartbroken….just few inches wide shot cost us the title…but then this is football….lets pull ourselves up for next season..
39. Jumbo
I am gutted. We deserved to win after the fantastic performance of the lads today. We are the best team in Europe no doubt.
A few points:
1. The referee had a terrible game. Very stop start, undisciplined, definitely favoured Man U in the 50 50’s
2. Essien was awful at right back. Really bad, outjumped and out of position for the Ronaldo goal and every time down the left channel, Ronaldo and Evra killed us.
3. Mental toughness. We were tougher. Dominating shots (almost double that of United) and strong in the shootout.
4. Luck. Sometimes it is just misfortune. Especially in a shoot out.
5. Next season, look to Mikel and either Sheva or Anelka to make a push for the first team. We must keep Carvalho, Drogba and Lampard and add to the team. Much like what Ferguson has done around Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs etc. New players around a core.
6. Winning the CL is not far from our reach given Roman’s money, the spine of our team and our collective spirit and our experience. Next year we could very well push through to the final again if we plug the (obvious) weaknesses in our team at RB (Bosingwa) and left wing (missing Robben). Given our progress in beating Liverpool and eventually making the final, we should be able to do what teams like Valencia and Leverkusen have done and go the distance again.
Finally, whilst it is so bitter to lose to any team, especially Man United, we can have our chins up, and acknowledge that we are a big club, like Milan and United, and we will be there again. Next time though, we will win! History never remembers the losers, so next time we will make history as blue champions.
Go the Blues.

@15 are you mad? did you just say we deserved 3 points???

damn that anelka..
44. Nihongo Blue
lolz adonis.. reminds me of essien post match interview where he also spoke something like that after some champions league match that we deserved 3 points…
45. heyjose
well we deserved to win no doubt about it .next season we will bounce and win epl and ucl
46. Johnarejr
What a heck of a way to end a season. Grant starts Malouda instead of Kalou, Drogs gets himself a red card, JT slips, and Anelka misses. But, any team that can finish second in the Prem and CL (and the Carling) has nothing to be ashamed of. Yeah, we can all talk about how we won stuff the last 3 seasons. But, if this is a bad year (and it is), a lot of other clubs wish they had our bad year. Just ask Derby or Arsenal.
Now comes the real deal; OFF SEASON DECISIONS. My predictions:
Thank you Grant. Now go back to your office job.
Steve Clarke, it is your team now.
Drogs, Essien, Carvaliho, Lamps; good to see you again for 08-09.
And, let’s try to snag some raw, young striker instead of trying to get Robinho from Real for 55million.
47. MoiBlue,
@34, Are you alive??? There is no Daniels Alves, I guess you forgot that we already got Bosingwas. Again I say, No more strikers to us unless both Drogbas and Schevas leave and I have said ‘10′ number of times that we need a genuine No.10 playmaker in the MF. And may be a Left winger or LM, bcos I want Kalous to play more as forward than winger.
Grumpy, Go get Diego or Kaka and do one good thing before u leave, and yeah thanks for your stinking arse, though it did not work in the final.
48. Nihongo Blue
why was grant given two medals at the presentation?
what would have happened if penalties had reached 10-10 with chelsea 1 man down?
49. amiaq_ferguson
chelsea is cursed when Mikel was stolen from Man Utd
50. Mindframex
If Drogba was not red carded, John Terry might be the sixth player to take the penalty. And that if Drogba is not red carded, he might be one of the first 5 penalty taker and we would have won it by then with JT no need to take the penalty and celebrate it. This words has its own truths.
51. Jo
Sell:benhaim,sidwell,drogba,anelka,SWP,ferriera,bohlahrouz
buy:quaresma,vanderwaat/robinho, and one young gd striker…
52. chris
Drobga should be sold. With this recent outbursts, he is become a disgrace.
53. mike
@48 - second medal was for drobga
54. LOYADAYSTAR
chelsea wee lucky to score,all season chelsea had tatrum drodba, and next sulky anelka, grant should be sacked for buying anlelka a known loser, and has been, and for playing two light weights balleck and lampard in the middle and essien chelsea best player all season at right back madness, maluda a luxery player,very sad when the winning team sat on the bench, come back clough all is forgiven.
55. SH.IBRAHIMI
48@ one for him and one for Drogba and if the penalty had reached 10-10 then will start again from the first player from Ballack again ..
56. GermanFan
Well was a good match of 2 halves.
But I think it is in good hands the trophy, after all ManU had the hardest way to reach the final.
Pity I wanted Chelsea to win, but not this time, many believe that Chelsea will be in the final soon, I have my doubts, if Lamps, Drogba, Carvalho leave, these are players really hard to replace, the skill and experience hard to find.
Ryiskaard said that he would like to take a 1 year sabatical, so I do not know if he joins Chelsea.
Chelsea really needs a new manager, the players were motivated by themselves, did not see AG giving any instructions when Chelsea was losing 1-0 and could have been 3, if tevez or rooney had scored. But the 2nd half chelsea was better.
Well now for the European Nations Competition.
57. Jithu
no . words .. I have been subdued ..feel sad 4 Terry
58. blue_fan
Changing the manager will not bring attractive football. Players should be changed also . Drogba and Anelka - two useless strikers. We need strong reinforcements there.
59. TBF
@BC
I am unable to concentrate on anything at all……………tears keep coming and i sit hopeless.
I wanted to speak a few things
1.John Terry is LEGEND-There is no other word that defines the man……..i pray to god that he will come back stronger mentally.
2.The Spine we need our squad to be build upon
Cech
Terry[World's best Captain]
Carvalho
Ashley Cole[Absolute class.....i don't know anyone who rates Bridge anymore than him]
Essien
Lampard[He has won me over with his attitude]
Ballack
These are the guys who care……who gave us their all inspite of all that has happened.
3.Didier Drogba NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER HE WANTS TO STAY OR NOT.
I won’t forget the red card which drogba literally pulled out of refree’s pocket at such a crucial juncture and crucial moment in such a crucial match.If he had little care,he wouldn’t have done the act.[he was destined to take the fifth penalty]
What pissed me that vidic did not provoke him and yet he ran 50 yards to pull the red card out.
4.Avram Grant-99% CFC Fans hated him when he arrived……..there is no way i can prove it but from whatever i have seen from the following [Orkut Comm,Rivals Comm,CFCNet,CFCBlog]he has won over more than 60% of fan base at minimum by his attitude,the dignity he has shown throughout the season,results.
And yes he cares………..he is not Jose Mourinho and even if he goes Manager resembling mourinho in working style is not going to come.
For instance last night Grant motivated and was on by lines giving instructions much more than SAF who was almost a spectator.
As a poster on CFCNet summed it up
When he collected his medal last night, his face came up on the big screen. There was genuine warmth in the applause for the guy. He deserved it.
To be a leader of highly driven, high ego people, it isn’t necessary to have a bigger ego yourself. Jose was the best organiser I have ever seen but you did it his way in his structure and there was very little flexibility in his approach, which is why we could never win against Liverpool. Benitez worked out that Mourinho couldn’t adapt, so score first and sit in.
What Avram has shown, especially in his treatment of Frank Lampard and in his consolation of JT last night is that he is a human being, not Robomanager. I’m impressed with the man. He clearly does not have the track record as a manager that Mourinho did but Jose’s trouble started as soon as players started to believe they were worth what we were paying for them. Avram has got more out of them individually than Jose ever did. He has been able to retain the best of the Mourinho era but he has added to it, making use of the same players.
Last night, Ashley Cole was magnificent, his best performance in a Chelsea jersey. Malouda had his best game for Chelsea and was no longer the scared child he looked just pre and post Jose’s departure. Michael Ballack has become a force under Avram and his performance in the second half was wonderful. Frank is motoring again. We were the cavalier attacking side last night and Manure the dour defensive mob (after 30 mins!). These guys are performing for someone. It may be for themselves rather than for the manager but that may be a better way for a team to perform and play than by being subjected to the rigourous structure of Jose. One thing is sure, the focus is now on the players and not on the manager, his pronouncements, his “mind games”, his walking out at the Nou Camp to draw the attention upon himself (sorry, to take the pressure off his players). Maybe some of them like that.
I STILL THINK HE WILL BE PUSHED UPSTAIRS But I Will give a rallying cry to all the fellow blues to give the man the due credit irrespective of how he got the job.
5.Standards of the comment on Blog
BC,don’t get me wrong…..i m at no point trying to say that standards have fallen caus commentors praise jose all the time..or critisize grant all the time………i m taking about intelligent posts and non-intelligent posts.
For Ex-You create a Man Utd-Chelsea preview thread……….the comments remain the same………sack grant……sack grant………bring mourinho etc………i.e comments which are posted more due to hatred.
Like you,Nihongo and some others put their point in intelligent manner and certain section of commentors just come for critisising and rarely contribute anything to blog except for their hatred and their uni-dimensional views.
60. blueindian
guys whats the news on transfer front…which players r to come and which ones r leaving…
61. Adonis
It started way back at the beginning of the season with a loss to Man U on penalties in the Community Shield, and so it ends. We’ve gone full circle. Cech, Essien, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley, Makalele, Lampard, Ballack, Malouda, Joey, and Drogba are champions in our books, and we’ll certainly be back in the final, and we’ll win it, too.
62. BlueFan nr:1
the team did great. my hart goes with terry. i really feel for him i cried when he missed i knew it was over. chelsea was the better team and even the fvckin utd players know it. what drogba did was selfish. you dont do that to your team mates. he is not a real blue player. he has done good stuff for uss but this was a wrong ending of his stay at chelsea. let him go to milan with the other cry babies. chelsea is a club for players with heart and love for the club a player like terry and cech and you know who. next year we will be back with a stronger team with moore fire and we will win every trophie. CAUSE WE ARE CAREFREE. CHELSEA FOR LIFE!!!
63. cap123
We need to buy a decent winger, a proven striker and an up and coming striker to support him. Then we will be champions.
Quaresma please for that first position.
64. Aravind
Umpiring mockery, biased decision, lack of concentration have cost us this lost. Time only can heal.
65. xenodice
i cringe at the thought of JT crying. why oh why are we so ill fated this season.
oh heck, next season, HERE WE COME!
66. TrueBlueInd
Hi guys..
Grant’s obsession with Essien at RB finaly caught up with him..
We have 2 Ex UCL winning RB’s in our squad..Both fit..n he opts to play essien there..Before yesterday night, forget scoring, Cronaldo has never touched the ball while playing against us..yesterday he raped essien during the 1st half..Ferreira has always been more than a handful for Cronaldo n rooney..but Grant drops him..
Malouda starts on the left wing..why???..Kalou has been great on the left throughout the season..why start malouda???
Essien should have started in maka’s place..so lamps, ballack & essien in midfield..
Why didnt he bring on sheva???…proven player..penalty taker..experienced
Then the penalties..
Common sense says that a striker or a midfielder has a greater percentage of scoring than a defender
why did we have 3 defenders taking penalties in our top 5????
kalou n anelka should have been in the top 5..
Anelka missed alright..but maybe it would have been different if he had taken a regular kick instead of the sudden death one
Grant is a good coach..but not a GREAT one…
Chelsea need a great coach to drive them forward..someone with Drive n desire..someone with a ruthless attitude..someone who hates losing
————————————————————————————–
I am surprised some of you want Drogba to stay..For what???…To hear him bad mouth us again next season????..or for him to repeat something like he did last night???
what he did yesterday on one of the biggest nights in CFC history was unpardonable..Hes 30 years old..experienced n at the peak of his career..what was he thinking when he hit Vidic in front of the ref & linesman??..Irresponsible to the core..I WILL HATE HIM FOREVER n I HOPE HE LEAVES CFC
He has been firing his mouth off right from the start of the season..all his crying about leaving marseille n all..then his post match interview after we beat arseanl 2-1 at home..”CHELSEA FANS SHOULD GIVE SOME RESPECT TO WILLIAM GALLAS AS HE HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE CLUB”..Chelsea fans should respect someone who says he will score an own goal against us????..Please LEAVE DROGBA..n take ur dear friend Gallas along with u if u love him so much
For Next season we need
1)A good manager who has HUNGER for success..someone with a proven track record
2)We need a striker in the mould of Ruud Van Nistel Roy..someone who lurks in and around the penalty box n knows how to score
3)A good winger on the left..someone FAST n pacy..
***************If possible Micah Richards as well..because he is the FUTURE..the next Rio fedinand or JT in the making*******************************************************
=====And The manager should make the team practice penalty shootuts daily==============
OUT
—
Ben haim, Beletti
Makalele, Malouda,SWP
Pizzaro, Drogba
I was hoping we sell Bridge n get Lahm..but Lahm has commited to bayern..so we stick with bridge
RA n Kenyon wanted 2 UCL titles in 10 years..5 years are up..we have 3 UCL semis & 1 UCL final in 5 years..NOT BAD
Forget 2 UCL titles in the next 5 years, i just want us to win once atleast in the next 5 years..I want to see JT, RC, Lamps, Ballack, cech etc lift the trophy
Once again..Grant..please resign..Drogba please LEAVE
Chin Up guys..we will be back stronger n meaner next season

My only gripe about yesterday’s performance is that Ferdinand was obviously, visibly injured a bit and at 50% and Chelsea didn’t take full advantage of that !

@64 “2)We need a striker in the mould of Ruud Van Nistel Roy..someone who lurks in and around the penalty box n knows how to score”
We have Sheva and still don’t use him ..
Roman , Please sell Drogba .. Useless fellow . Now even saying TSO used to plan yellow cards.. This guy doesn’t deserve to be in CFC, speaks foul mouth of club & Managers.

@46. Johnarejr….. bang on with that point mate
@47. MoiBlue….your right kalou is a striker and we should use him that way!!!
we should expect a rebuild at chelsea now… so real flair players.. but we should not go for expensive players like Messi or kaka, Ramos and Ronnie, maybe some real stronge English players with real HEART like JT!!! Essien MUST go in the midfield now because Bosingwa and ivanovic/Fererra are there, we alos have an unexpected arrival in”Alcides” from PSV released from his load so we are over loaded with defenders now, we must teach him to play LB(Taye Taiwo is a great LB we should look at him ), we should go for Veloso to back up Mikel. we MUST get Queresma and Dos Santos and any cost though and some real classy MF players to rebuild the core of the team !!!!!

@64. TrueBlueInd…”Chelsea need a great coach to drive them forward..someone with Drive n desire..someone with a ruthless attitude..someone who hates losing”… like Jose the special one!!!!
i wonder if Rijkaard had that ruthless attitude????!!! what about Zenit’s coach!! i hope they beat manu!!!!

I could have been ashamed if i had been a chelsea fan.
The game played with utter respect and foul plays.How dumb can ballack be for arguing every decision.How pathetic Drogba can be for acting in things which they knew were wrong.
They did throw ball outside rather than giving to keeper twice and still went out to argue with ref.What do they think of themselves.King of this world!!They way ballack was posing himself-his hips on his hand- really was hopeless to watch.
I still dont think why do u think they deserve.
Do they deserve cause they striked the pole twice.Do they deserve for the bloody noses they caused.Do they deserve for igniting useless chaos in match which was so precious to their manager.
Chelsea players consider themselves more than their team and thats what that cost u.
Thats a big difference for winning twice around and winning for 19 years.

we should take drogba to mental doctor get his head right if recovers mentally then he should stay dont forget he has scored important goals this season but he was not at his best except agaist arsenal and liverfool in cl in first halfof season oct nov period he was awesome .

@Varun..
Hi Dude !!!! Chelsea was the better team yesterday,only because luck and Stupid Drogba ur MANU team won the final.
Even Alex Ferguson told we were better team…LOL.
“I thought we were fantastic in the first half and should have been three or four up and they got a lucky break right on half-time,” said Ferguson.
“It gave them an impetus because I thought they were the better team in the second half,extra time, they had more power than us. ” by Alex Ferguson
