San Joe Vese

this sent a shiver down my spine. may sound weird to some people but I think it is a dream for any real fan. Don't think you can to this anymore however (hygienic rules or whatever)

all the best Didier!

next year is in Prague, then it's gonna change location every year like the CL and UEFA finals.

Monaco stadium is pathetically small for a european final (18k I think) so it will be a season ticket holders affair.

tough end of the season, as well as the october/november period.

you're havin a laugh, we're a football team, not the star trek cast!

Bought n°9 Ossie shirt by scoredraw last month for 10 quid (searched for it at a decent price forever), that's THE perfect kit for Chelsea. The umbro one posted by Davey is also great with that white collar. Talking bout modern days, I loved almost everything Umbro made, I've got the one posted by RFC_CFC with Zola 25 on the back and it's amazing, but I'll go with the 04-05 kit, also for the memories that it brings back in my mind.

when you win it UEFA gives you the original trophy until next year final or so, and replace it with a replica. I'm pretty sure next year (if we don't win it again ) there will be the replica cup and we'll be able to touch it and kiss it or whatever you wanna do with that

not bad, although the Marseille-like looking... Still way better than the 11/12 black kit.

amazing video, one of the best around the net, great job mate only regret, I'd love to see a bit more of both Barca leg, but I think that those 2 epic games deserves a standalone video...

I support Chelsea and my local italian team (which plays in the italian equivalent of english non-league) and that's it. I don't mind italian national team (I hate top class italian football) and I support the three lions this year 'cause I wanna see them beat the w*nky french 8 nil.

that's such a great canvas! welcome mate

can't wait to take a picture with those big shiny metal ears, happy as a kid

Also won the '82 cup one and half year after the first match fixing scandal. Don't think that's gonna happen again. Italy don't deserve that either...

Chelsea v Liverpool in april '00, 2-0 for us with Weah and Di Matteo. There was a lot of Chelsea on the italian telly and papers since the mid '90s (thanks to Zola and the other boys of course) and thanks to my english part of the family which was totally royal blue, I always saw CFC as my team. I remember watching the CWC final in my living room and the screams of the commentators about Zola scoring the winner about 10 seconds after the substitution. So then I was in London with my family for my grandparents wedding anniversary if memory serves me right, and my uncle went up like "I've got 2 spare tickets for the Bridge tomorrow" and stuff, and me and my brother were in heaven. Thing is the day after he never showed up! Hangover I guess...He just told us on the phone "Take the district line to Earls Court, go to X road and knock the door at number Y, he's got the ticket". I was 12 and my brother 16, from a foreign country and now in the big city of London on our own, great parenting eh...we didn't care that much anyway. We found the place thanks to my brother which is great in those things (I could get lost in my own garden) and met this fella. Can't remember his name or face, he was a nice bloke though and led us to a great game. The sight of the green SB field, and all the people singing and shouting was like a punch in the face. I was literally drunk for 90+ minutes, spending all the time looking at the stands instead of the pitch. The second one was even better, v Arsenal in 2001 with my uncle and cousin, shed upper. All the gooners were in the east stand which was still under rebuild I think. Final result was 1-1 Henry and Hasselbaink. Fell in love forever with the sight of Jimmy Floyd scoring the penalty and the MHL going nuts. At the end of the game my cousin gave me 10 programmes, the Chelsea-Barca CL ticket of the 99-00 season and the home kit with Gullit 4 on the back. What a day! I'm so pathetically romantic about football...

topic of the year

this is Italy my friend...

he is investigated for the last season game Novara-Siena. My local team is also involved and I really can't stand it, I'll probably never go to a match again, totally disgusted

cheers!

yes he plays in Russia, he got arrested this morning at the meeting of the national team in Coverciano for Euro 2012. Great spot for our football innit

italian football is pure and simple sh*t since the 80's, when the first match fixing scandal came up. Then the Calciopoli stuff that killed our football forever. Now this again... ...and there's still someone that have a laugh when I tell them I support an english team.

I'd love to hear this, the vpn is not working. Anyone downloaded it? Or somethin else suitable for Italy?

Bonetti Lampard Terry Drogba Di Matteo Zola Harris Wise Osgood Tambling. Would love to put in Vialli as well if it was an 11 choice but I think the other 10 are over him in CFC history.

great great reading in these 3 pages...so jealous as well

I was wondering is there any gallery of the fans inside and outside the stadium in munich on the internet? Thanks
