Well done Chelsea

Well done Chelsea only cost ya 1billion pounds

A team written off earlier this season by many have proved the doubters wrong. This win is dedicated to my brother in law Tony Burridge and the other boys killed in the Middlewich helicopter accident back in October 1996.

But they were Champions the previous season. It was much harder to win the cup under the old format than it is today.

No way HT. Easier to get in but not win it.

Here is the Brighton fan.

Sorry but I fail to understand why anyone who supports a team then goes along to watch and support another. It makes no sense to me at all!

How is it a great night for English football when Chavski won without playing any football. This is a team built on a dubious billionaire's dodgy blood money and like Man Shitty winning the premier league sums up all that is wrong with our society and football.

Money rules. It is a kick in the balls for all honest clubs like Bayern Munich which are well run and self substantiated. It will ensure that the clubs with all the money can flout the fair play rules and steal players from everybody else but offering them more money.

Last night was another nail in the coffin for the beautiful game.

Totally agree, best team in Europe ..f*** off they just had the biggest bus

I couldn't believe the odds for a Chelsea win on pens - 16/1

A few quid in my back pocket thankyouverymuch

If I had been fortunate enough to see that game, albeit as an Albion fan,I would have been rooting for Chelsea as the English club BUT what an opportunity to fly the Seagulls flag ,so to speak,to what is a huge audience. Good on him I say. Anyone know who he is

A fantastic win for Chelsea and for English football, we should all rightly be very proud of the boys in blue.

As an Albion fan I would never be rooting for Chelsea.

Even if, in the future, a Chelsea victory guaranteed the Albion winning the Premier League?

But that is very different to physically going to watch them play, supporting them and wearing an Albion top whilst you do it!

How much did you put on it?

 

[Southern Scouse]

Not a big fan of either team to be honest, although with the amount of money Roman has invested over the years he deserves it!
Hope Di Matteo, gets at least 12 months as manager after the success he has had. Nice to see a fan do well.

Only about £1.80-something, I never bet big. I also covered Chelsea in ET which was similar odds.

Handy for a few beer tokens though.

I'm no Chelsea fan but Didier Drogba really deserved to score the winning penalty. What a way to culminate your Chelsea career. And it's great that a London team has finally won the greatest European club tournament in a year that our Capital City is also hosting the Olympic Games.

And, WE BEAT THE GERMANS................

If Drogba decides to leave Stamford Bridge I'd have him at the Albion in a heartbeat - not that he would come.

Well done Chelsea I don't like them but good on them! I think it will be a long time before a team will do a Man U and win the premier league and champions league - you just got to have an amazing squad! well Man City could do it with the money they got.

I don't see whats hard to understand about people being happy to watch and support more than one team, I know loads of people who follow more than one team myself included.

It seems churlish to not be happy for Chelsea, but I'm not. They have really only won this title by being too scared to fully participate in the semi-final and final. They parked the bus (forgivable against barca, but less so against bayern) and made no attempt to seriously engage the opposition. Chelsea's fans have every right to be delighted and to salute the 'dogged' performance of their team, but for neutrals it was disappointing to see such a negative approach rewarded with the ultimate prize.

But we won the 2004 playoff semis and finals using EXACTLY that approach.

Indeed we did. That's why I don't begrudge Chelsea fans their moment, ultimately they won the cup and can rightfully revel in their success.

My disappointment comes from watching as a neutral, particularly as a team that features the likes of Cech, Cole, Cahill, Lampard and Drogba etc need have no fear of the opposition. How much more fun would it have been to watch Real madrid or Barcelona in the final? Admittedly if either of those two sides could hit a barn door from five yards then we would not be having this discussion.
