Would we allow him to play? Do we have a say? It's not like its a league match, its a trophy...

Legend to us Chelsea supporters, legend to all the opposing players he's schooled, legend and role model to an entire continent, and legend to the football game itself! Character that he may be, Drogba always wore his blue heart on his sleeve and always had that big grin... If he leaves, while sad for us all, he deserves his final payday! He has done everything we ever wished for, won us countless titles and trophies and if he goes out while he and the club are the kings of Europe, we should all tip our caps in gratitude!

Spot on!

You know all day I was defending the Blues on various boards. Everyone saying how lucky we were to win... How we played anti-football, boring and slow, and simply parked the bus! Then idiots like Cruyuff to get in the act or whatever pissed off German had to say afterward! Well, we have a gold star sewn in our shirt and I am sorry while luck may have played a role, luck wasnt the only reason why we had a comeback, down 4-1 with Napoli, luck didn't let us beat Benfica, and luck didn't let us beat Barca at the Bridge and then advance with ten men versus the mighty Barca at Camp Nou, and luck certainly did not win us the title of Europe in Munich either! There is a reason we shut down Messi and Co., a reason why Gomez couldn't hit the net with two hobbling CBs who haven't played in a month! its called strategy and our defense won this! We showed great discipline, kept our shape, and struck on the counter! Last I checked defense is half of the game and we do it well! Maybe if the others played it, we wouldn't have won Europe! F*ck the whole lot of them! We didn't change our strategy and played to our strengths! Maybe if United and/or Arsenal did that they'd be celebrating but they didn't have the gall to do so... Blue is the color, football is the game! If Europe doesn't like it, bring a strategy that takes us out of our game! Otherwise shut you're F*cling mouths and enjoy a club that has shown more heart than anyone! We earned this and despite the criticism, our name is on the trophy and nobody and I mean nobody can take that away!

Then why make a comparison that is 40 some odd years off? Perhaps you are military or just supremely disciplined? I don't know but making a comparison to a celebration today versus one in 1966 is a bit mad. Things and people evolve whether you do or not... And so you go to Chelsea matches, what's that have to do with anything? Nobody questions the love you have (at least I am not) for Chelsea...

Obviously, its an opinion you have but are you really comparing the English World Cup winners of 1966 to that of last night. 1966, almost 50 years ago! Maybe you don't get out much but things have changed drastically since then. Or perhaps you just drove the Delorean 4 decades ahead to take a peek in?

Seriously, are people really complaining about the trophy celebration? After all of what the club and supporters have been through, I guess some people will always find a way to complain about something, no matter how trivial it may be. Perhaps they could move onto the Spurs, there they don't win trophies so you can't complain about trophy presentations!

The British Bulldog Denver, CO... Chelsea through and through. So crowded there were about 50 people outside watching on the monitors that had been put up that morning. Actually had run out of clean glasses and we were forced to drink our Carlsburg in plastic cups...

Pete Cech, "For the first time I didn't know what to to do" about Didier scoring the winning penalty... I hope I can speak for everyone else on here with a "NEITHER DID I PETR, NEITHER DID I!" It wa a dream today and goodnight to you English bloke but for us Yanks, its early! Go out and celebrate, if you are not already! Chelsea and all of us supporters should relish this performance today and in the past rounds! It couldn't have been script better! Blue is the color!

We are the Champions of Europe and Didier has delivered that to us! Thank you,, Thank you, Thank you! What a season! Enjoyvit mates! We deserve this! Go out and swing from the chandeliers and if you already are tearing them down! We are kings of Europe!

Nor Bale, or VDV! Love it! Thursday Night Football for you fecking Spurs! Where you belong!

WE BEAT ZEEE GERMANS IN GERMANY ON PENALTY KICKS! YAAAAAOOOOOOWWWWW!!!

...And to just to add a little bit of champagne to overflow all our glasses at the moment but we just knocked out those fecking Spurs! Here's to Thursday night football for those miserable Spurs! Chelsea up top, where we belong!

FFS! Drogba! As always gives us what we want! Chelsea through and through, and a Fecking legend! Give him whatever he wants! Cech, for me is MOTM though! Superb!

OH MY FECKING GOD! WE'VE DONE IT! UN-FECKING-BELIEVABLE! I know we are all getting shytefaced more than we already are but I just want to tip MY cap to Mr Roberto DiMatteo for giving us yet another special occasion to cheer about!

Still cannot get enough of this... I've showed to all my friends here stateside who always complain about flopping and not enough action... Between this and City winning the league in the fashion they did on Sunday, I just don't get it! If this match doesn't force you to watch this sport than it never will! Sadly, one of the greatest games of this generation, if not THE GREATEST, didn't see Terry see it off! But Lampard came up huge with the armband and will just add to the gold he has brought us all! Truly amazing! Can never get enough of this video!

Looks like he is most definitely moving to United... Ferguson was in Berlin today scouting Kagawa!

...And even the little dog at his feet is a Blue! What a day that was! Great video!

Personally, I don't see either club in Spain making any big signings this summer... With the unemployment rate so high and the younger generation totally being ignored with the amount of austerity they're being subjected to, and now yields on Spanish debt dangerously hovering around 6%, its only a matter of time before the ECB and EU step in with a bailout package. That happens and I would be shocked if the Spanish government allows the banks to give Madrid and Barca the low interest never-ending credit line that they've enjoyed for so long... And even if they did, no way the ECB and EU will allow it... Can you imagine that outrage in Germany where money is being syphoned out of their economy to help Spain and then Spain gives a portion to two football clubs? I guess it could happen but it would be the 1930's all over again...

Probably United bound but he would be a fine addition to Chelsea. While it may be a stretch because I can't see Wenger spending this money on him but he does have a connection with Japan from his coaching days at Grampus in Nagoya so it shouldn't be ruled out. Kagawa and Miyachi with RVP up top would be a nightmare, throw in Wilshire and Chamberlain on top of that and Arsenal won't need a backline.

Those figures are deceiving though because let's take a look at who he's run up against. He plays in Uefa, Carling Cup, and FA Cup matches usually against much weaker sides. I am afraid Berba-sloth is now passed his expiration date and as somebody already stated, he should move to the Serie A for a club like Lazio or maybe Fiorentina...

Definitely should be loaned out along with Josh, Feruz, and Piazon, imo. These kids need some playing time and in a couple of years they will be ripping up Europe! Feruz and Piazon especially look good and seem to be really growing a partnership on the pitch!

My brother just told me that Chelsea/PSG at Yankee Stadium July 22nd... He got that from some Yankee blog but apparently official. Sure its a pretty penny... Yanks aren't going to have a pitch on their field in the middle of the season for peanuts.... Update $200 for best seats! Think I will pass....

We should tip the cap very, very (and I mean very) slightly to King Kenny. He's shown class about the rightfully called disallowed goal... Rather than another Scot we all know who would be ranting and raving about how his club were screwed, Daiglish has said that it was simply too close to call and thinks the refereeing got this right, which they clearly did. Shows sportmanship and I for one give him the femto size of respect as he well deserves. Most of that club have seem to stray from that play and say that they didn't show up in the first 60 minutes today. I'm not sure about that because I think we've shown real class for the first 60 outplaying them and then held the fort down when the Scouse finally had some life in the last 30...

Get well mate and hope you are with some better company when we lift the big one on the 19th! First row, feeds may be a bit muddy but its saved me many if a time this season.
