Posted May 21, 200817 yr Total nightmare for the lad. Still a fantastic player and captain. When we get there it'll be even sweeter.
May 21, 200817 yr Quite an awful experience for him but he'll get through it. I did not enjoy Van de Saar celebrating in front of him but that's football. No one died tonight and he will be just fine eventually with time. I enjoyed seeing Grant comfort Terry (along with many others), Terry by far has been Grant's greatest supporter both on and off the field and it was nice to see the two of them give each other a heartfelt hug.
May 21, 200817 yr No question he is the best. The moment he missed the pen I thought Oh no not him. I just wanted to hug him and tell him that it doesn't matter that for me he is still one of the best players we have and the best captain. It was bad luck. But JT it's not over. I hope the chance will come again. You played a good game tonight and your defending was just great. You're our legend mate!
May 21, 200817 yr He Had The Balls to step up to the plate And be counted,even Rio said post match he thought JT would score,just felt terrible for the Guy,but he is a winner and he'll have his Day
May 21, 200817 yr JT = legend. We should have won it in normal or extra time, and but for the cross bar and the post, we would have done. It just wasn't our night, and hasn't quite been our season, but you know he will come back rested, fully fit and full of determination after a long summer off. We will right the wrong that happened tonight.
May 21, 200817 yr He saved that sure goal by Giggs and I don't think any different of him. Although it was my fantasy for him to shoot in the winning goal...Still a Legend!
May 21, 200817 yr after England went out on penalties in the world cup, that face he had still makes me gutted and now again....i agree with you didn't deserve it.
May 21, 200817 yr As he was about to take the penalty, a Chelsea supporter next to me in the pub said "he scores - he lifts the trophy, he misses - he cries, but in the end he'll always be Chelsea".
May 21, 200817 yr As he was about to take the penalty, a Chelsea supporter next to me in the pub said "he scores - he lifts the trophy, he misses - he cries, but in the end he'll always be Chelsea". Here here. I would still have him as our captain than Rio Ferdinand.
May 21, 200817 yr brilliant performance in the biggest game in club football. extremely unlucky with the slip.
May 22, 200817 yr You know what guys I could not care less because in my eyes JT didnt miss that pen and last night we wont the champions league In my eyes with ther performance the lads put in last night they are all heroes in my book and will forever be remembered in my eyes as the true winners of last night KEEP THE FAITH
May 22, 200817 yr JT is a Chelsea legend of the highest order, currently in the making! He an cech are the only two players along with Lampard that are in contention to be our player of the noughties. Their contributions have been immense and am proud to have them at the club.
May 22, 200817 yr I wish there was a scapegoat. I am certainly not blaming JT if it weren't for him it would have been over long before. It's just awful that it had to be him, and what are the chances (minus a slip) of missing a PK without it being saved 1/15? Just extremely unlucky. Still cant believe it, inches from winning. And also why no call on the Ronaldo penalty when he clearly stopped his motion? Not that I would have him re take that one but...
May 22, 200817 yr Commentators out here said that had he made it, after actually stopping like that, the ref would have made him take it again! Although not overly sure that would have been the case giving tonights reffing performance
May 22, 200817 yr JT = Mr Chelsea. He bleeds the Chelsea blue colour. JT = Legend. I had a sneaky feeling it wasn't to be our night after hitting the woodwork twice, obvious corners not being given etc. but all the lads did us proud.
May 22, 200817 yr John Terry is a legend. My heart goes out to him. I woke up several times during the night dreaming that he was walking up to take that penalty, each time still hopeful, but then remembering the awful reality. Now I know how the Italians felt in 1994. I want to forget it but I know I never will.
May 22, 200817 yr He was fantastic last night, top drawer defending. Saved us a few times and the clearence from Giggs was unbelievable. Then he had the balls to step up and be counted, unlucky that he missed but you saw on his face how much it hurt. Chelsea to the core. Captin Fantastic.
May 22, 200817 yr John Terry capatain fantastic nerves of steel, the walk up to the spot must have been so bum clenching for him he beat the keeper had it not been for the slip???????????????????????? who knows JT is a Legend,
May 22, 200817 yr As he was about to take the penalty, a Chelsea supporter next to me in the pub said "he scores - he lifts the trophy, he misses - he cries, but in the end he'll always be Chelsea". Beautiful said...
