[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great effort from Cardozo, Cech tips it behind.

[PGFC]

[Injury Time]

Rafa says "get yer haircut u kant!"

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

So I assume Rafa will be up to his neck in praise from the press........

Hmm... I bet Lampard does though.

[Injury Time]

Oh dear god, not this too :(

God don't live here no more :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man has a shirt on again. :haha:

[Munchies]

Benitez has been taken the piss out of by the Chavs, but he's actually done a good job in the time he's been there. Top4 and a trophy .

[Joker]

Bollocks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terry is seriously pathetic.

[Rors]

Big Man has a shirt on again. :haha:

:haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That is just shameless.

[Munchies]

Fucking hate Chelsea, they just keep on doing well, managers being sacked left and right, but thats because the players they splash out on are actually decent footballers.

[Rors]

You really don't help yourself much do you Big Man?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blueprint for success? STFU Smith.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Right I need to find some Youtube videos of the 2005 CL. I feel dirty watching that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They are winners. Yeah managed to get it right in the eighth competition this season.

[BlindFaith_8]

Fair play to Chels. TBH I always support the english clubs in Europe including the spudz. Guess I was used to it watching Rangers and United in the early 90's playing in the European cup when it was only for the champs for each league. I don't hold any grudge against Chelsea or Rafa. 3 Euro finals winning two major euro cups. We could'nt even beat a bunch of Kebab shop owners and we fudged it up against Barca. AW is the luckiest manager in the EPL to still be in a job for finishing 4th with no silverware for years, poor ole mancini!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Not Liquidator!

[Marc Overmars]

Fucking hate Chelsea, they just keep on doing well, managers being sacked left and right, but thats because the players they splash out on are actually decent footballers.

Yeah, I said the other day I think they have the best squad in the league, and have done so for many years now.

It's the chopping and changing of managers which has stopped them from really dominating but it's still fucking annoying to see them pick up a trophy every season.

[BlindFaith_8]

Going to Watch Arsenal vs Parma and remember the good ole days with a couple of tins Tennants Extra.

[Marc Overmars]

On a side note, I don't think CL drop outs should be given a Europa League spot.

[Rors]

On a side note, I don't think CL drop outs should be given a Europa League spot.

Yup. Obviously my feelings on this have been exacerbated today by this bunch winning it, but no drop out should get a second chance. The Europa League itself would be less bloated without them too.

[GP]

#FullKitWanker

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Isn't Platini thinking of essentially getting rid of the Europa by having a giant Champions League with like 64 teams or something as ridiculous?

Or was that madey-uppy?

[Marc Overmars]

Yup. Obviously my feelings on this have been exacerbated today by this bunch winning it, but no drop out should get a second chance. The Europa League itself would be less bloated without them too.

It would also help do away with the perception that it's 2nd rate and a consolation prize. The competition needs to stand on it's own.

[BlindFaith_8]

The name Europa League is piss poor. They Should have kept the tradditional name of the Uefa Cup and still kept the Cup Winners Cup. I also think Champions league drop outs should not be allowed a back door to the competition as it makes a mockery of the competition and undermines its value. Go back to renaming the Uefa Cup for FFS Platini.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Is Mata the only tolerable Chelsea player?

It's annoying, he needs to leave.

[Munchies]

Yep, Mata and Torres are the only players I like from Chelsea

[Marc Overmars]

Is Mata the only tolerable Chelsea player?



Honest Frank too.

:ninja:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Honest Frank too.

:ninja:

Lampard is someone I feel I should dislike, but I can never find a solid reason why. Other than he plays for Chelsea.

[GP]

Anyone who's mates with Terry is automatically a cock hole.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah, fuck 'em.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I can live with that.

[Munchies]

Remember I was at a mates party, 10 years back or so, we had a Fa Cup game , and Lampard scored to take it into a replay. Ruined the whole mood,and I've disliked him since.

All things aside though, Lamps is a fantastic player.

[Master Splinter]

It was sadly inevitable. I'd rather they played well and beat the other team 4-0 than this Satan-endorsed bastardry.

Benfica just surrendered the League and the Europa League to last-minute winners in successive games. Surprised they haven't got the razors out yet.

The host coverage was so bad. Why do we need 5-minute shots of people in the crowd while there's a match going on? Morons.

Time to bring Rafa home?

[Cripps_orig]

They just keep winning trophies regardless of who manages them.

Who says money doesn't make a difference?

Read a stat Benfica lost in their last 7 finals (8 now), :haha:

Btw, why the fuck did we not stump that extra £2m for Mata ? I know we got Cathorla, but Mata is their best player.

Maybe we are underestimating just how good a manager Big Man is.

We have Wenger.

[Cripps_orig]

Chelsea are the first English team to win all 3 European trophies and all 3 have come in my lifetime :sick:

We'll become the 2nd when we win the CL next season

[Niall_Quinn]

Bought all three trophies, not won. They aren't even good shoppers tbh. With the amount they have spent they haven't got much to show for it.

[PGFC]

JT = FKW
