This must be a special tournament - my favourites are really doing well! Germany really lived up to their reputation as cup favourites. Sweeter fact was that they beat Portugal, who were generally expected to sweep aside Germany. They were propelled by none other than Michael Ballack, the only Chelsea player left in the Euro 2008 now.

So it’s Big Phil then. Luiz Felipe Scolari would take charge at Chelsea from 1st July. Allright it’s a great news but was he the best choice available to take Chelsea forward? See I’m absolutely delighted with Scolari’s appointment (after Grant I’d be delighted with anyone’s appointment) but don’t have answers for all my questions!

There were no freebies. All four matches so far have been reasonably well contested. Portugal and Germany had better scorelines but they were made to sweat. The hosts Switzerland and Austria surely deserved something from their matches but were unlucky.

You know that I’m supporting Germany this Euro 2008. While I’m kind of confident that Germany will win the trophy, I’ll tell you how exactly they would achieve it. Here is the tournament map on who progresses, and who gets eliminated, and who goes how far. It makes sense to go by each group.

God bless Euro championships. But for the Euro there would be no football this month. I just can't imagine a footieless month. Of course the transfer rumours are quite spicy and keep you interested even if there is no action on the pitch. There is no substitute for watching football. Roll on Euro. So who am I supporting this Euro? And what is the rationale?

Is Roman just being ruthless on trophyless performance or he has realised his mistakes? Roman has just disposed off Grant and Ten Cate in the space of a week. Didn't Roman have a plan when he brought Grant and Ten Cate? Weren't they supposed to bring something new to Chelsea? What do these dismissals tell me? I think Roman is slowly but surely getting to know the people around him.

Still no news yet. I’m tired of refreshing the websites every few minutes. We need something to chew until the announcement is made, right? So, here it is. After a post on ‘who do you want’ now let’s talk about ‘what do you want?’. What are your expectations on the new Chelsea manager. What are those things that he should possess?

This is all very surreal. Reports say that Jose Mourinho is one of the managers shortlisted by the Chelsea board. JM now has too many friends at Chelsea including Kenyon and heck, Roman Abramovich! It appears that Roman and Jose are friends again and that could only be a great news for Chelsea!

The official Chelsea website has confirmed that Avram Grant’s contract as manager has been terminated today. Not really a surprise. Very good move by Roman. Hats off to him for sacking his underperforming friend.

John Terry cannot get over the fact that he slipped the champions league trophy. He still feels terrible and awful and even guilty of the miss. Here is JT’s letter to the Chelsea fans on the champions league final, as published in the official Chelsea website.

Have you recovered from that disastrous night? Well, you might say you never will. At least a night's sleep should have brought a lot of sense. I couldn't write the match reaction post after the match. So now, after more 24 hours from the defeat, I look back at the match, its key moments and what this result could and should mean to us.

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.
