Fierce_LiNk Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Well done, Chelsea. I'm pleased that an English team won the Champions League. Thought Ashley Cole was immense, and would probably have him down as my man of the match. A great final and extra-time/penalties was full of drama, just what you need in football. Bayern had loads of the ball but Chelsea defended really, really well (again) and just hung in there. I thought it was over when Bayern eventually did score, but trust Drogba to get the equaliser. It is crazy though that the team that finished sixth in the league can win the FA Cup and Champions League. Not really sure what message that sends to other teams out there, but I don't imagine that this sorta thing will happen very often. I bet @Wii is rage quitting right now. 50p says that he is a Bayern Munich fan.
Retro_Link Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Yeah Chelsea's defending was immense! Ashley Cole would get my man of the match too.
LegoMan1031 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Just watched the highlights, looked like a great way to the end a game! Least a english team won I suppose (lol).
Dog-amoto Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 All this talk of achieving 4th place. Pft! You know, at one point, in order to qualify for the European Cup, you had to actually win the league. It was called the Champions League for a reason, you know!
Daft Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Blame Liverpool. They're the one's who forced that precedent through. I think it's dumb, too.
Kav Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 If it's the "Champions" League then surely only the Champions should go through? Screw 4th, it's all about winnig the fucking thing! HELL FUCKING YES!!!!
Mokong Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 If it's the "Champions" League then surely only the Champions should go through? Screw 4th, it's all about winnig the fucking thing! HELL FUCKING YES!!!! haha, I forgot you were a Chelsea fan... probably cuz you're never online these days.... you got your net sorted yet?
khilafah Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Chelsea were negative vs barca and negative vs Bayern. Quite possibly one of the worst sides I have seen win the champions league. Went out tonight with no intent to go and actually win the game. Defended great but this defensive setup is horrible to watch! More rumors about AVB going to Liverpool. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/321304
James Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Is there anything worse than seeing John Terry's smug face lift the trophy....
lostmario Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Is there anything worse than seeing John Terry's smug face lift the trophy.... A german lifting the cup instead?
flameboy Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Blame Liverpool. They're the one's who forced that precedent through. I think it's dumb, too. Not strictly true! The rule was always there Liverpool were the first exception where it had to be applied and as a one off they let both Liverpool and everton go through but said it could never happen again.
MadDog Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Well done Chelsea. You were meant to win it, it was destiny. It's like 05, we were not good enough to win it, but it was just meant to be. I'm hoping I never see them lifting it though. :p

Real Madrid won champions league but finished 5th.
Emerald Emblem Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 It's OFFICIAL. There is no GOD. What on earth do you mean? I think he was clearly on Chelsea's side.
Ramar Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 It's like 05, we were not good enough to win it, but it was just meant to be. At least Liverpool attacked Milan! m i rite? trolololollolll... :weep::weep::weep:
Emerald Emblem Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I think we know who is probably hurting the most after all this. Luca Modric.
Wii Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Feel sorry for Spurs. Work all year to get fourth then along come the wankers that are Chelsea, totally undeserved, can't win it properly, need penalties to crawl over the line and rob Spurs of 9 months work. Just more reason to hate Chelsea and their knacker players and owner.

Just more reason to hate Chelsea and their knacker players and owner. Spurs blew it themselves though. They had 3rd in the bag. Feel sorry for andelecht as they won the league and have now lost automatic qualification because of Chelsea's win. I just hate the way Chelsea won this competition with their boring negative football!
Wii Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 ^^^ Negative football? Tell me about it. My eyes still haven't stopped bleeding.
Daft Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 can't win it properly Apparently Bayern didn't know how to win it at all. As for 'negative football', hysterical. Bayern only have themselves to blame for losing that match. As did Barca.
flameboy Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 1999 - 2000. Real Madrid won champions league but finished 5th. OK So what happened that time that meant a precedent wasnt set t
gmac Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 OK So what happened that time that meant a precedent wasnt set t at that stage we weren't at the 4 teams per country that we're at just now. (Which is too many imo)
