So cheer us on through the sun and rain
'cause Chelsea, Chelsea is our name

I wish Mikel could dominate a midfield like he did that trophy presentation! Fantastic result, up the chels

Agree with that totally.
No class at all.
Cfcmatt.

Well noticed as well, thought he had a cheek. Hides in games but wants centre stage to lift a trophy. Hope he is first out the door in the summer making way for more talented players.

Mikel has played a part and was on the bench at least. What will u say of Terry then? Even Ba and Marin were celebrating! It's a squad game. The team won, it's everybody's moment. Enjoy it while it lasts.

So the polar opposite too yourself then Matt?

He and bosingwa both can mark a trophy 1000% times better than they could mark a player.

Tk

IMHO playing Mikel is like playing with a man short. Get rid now.

Just to clarify I weren't slagging Mikel off, and yes he did play his part (most notably against Juventus haha). But boy
did he take over the stage

Dont rate him and yes man short, play far better without him. His distribution is awful and I fail to ever see him breaking down play.

Sunderland fan here
Well done, you deserved it
Feel sorry for Rafa, any other club and he would be called a Hero, 3rd place and Europa league champions but under Abramovic, he needs to win the league, FA cup and league cup aswell
No exceptions at Chelsea!

No at chelsea you need to be more consistent, he has saved himself at the last but all in all it hasn't been the best of seasons considering the competitions we were in when he took over, and we were only 4 points behind united. However I've warmed to him recently, and its fair to say that I no longer dislike him, I wish him all the best with his future. Good bye rafa, thank you, its been emotional.

Perhaps if he hadn't been a Liverpool manager and said the things he did previously he might have been called a hero.
However I think the majority of fans whilst happy with eventual outcome of the season, won't look back and consider this season to be exceptional. With the targets and competitions we started out in this season, we all expected better. Therefore winning the Europa league and coming in the top4, one wouldn't expect a manager to be heralded as a hero.

He ruined it for himself when he was at Liverpool by saying what he said and being what he is. It's a small world (after all. Go on I know you want to sing along) and basically he ostracised himself from a lot of people.

Well done Chelsea from a West Ham fan, totally deserved to win in the end, now give us back Frank. lol

15 May 2013 22:06:48
Well done team! Everyone played a part, suprised Rafa didn't make a sub but oh well! And that Lampard strike would of been perfect!

15 May 2013 22:21:59
Just read a tweet from tv Sport. For the next 10 days, Fernando Torres is a reigning World Cup, European Championship, Champions League & Europa League Winner.

And he gets slated for joining Chelsea because of his ambition to win trophies! All that can be said is, the statistics DO NOT lie.

His goal stats don't lie either mate, nor does the fact you blue noses slate Rafa and now your all kissing his ass

RD

No one is kissing Rafa's ass. He deserves credit for what we have achieved. We don't want him to stay, but we appreciate what he's done. Get over yourself.

RD you mad bro?

Did not make much of a contribution for most of those medals.

Scored in the European cup final & assisted, won the corner which lead to the goal in the champions league final, scored in the Europa League final. Only one where he didn't have a part to play is the World Cup final. He still has won them all.

I seriously had to laugh at Mikel lifting the trophy and celebrating winning it. I'd assume he wouldn't of found the motivation to lift it. CONGRATS TO THE GUYS.

One of the best things I have heard all day. Made me chuckle mate fair play.
COEWKWWA!

Enjoying your Thursday night football are you?

Fair play, again get outplayed in a final and come out winning.
Maybe you should keep rafa. Well played.

Chech your calendar mate, it's Wednesday!

Jordan

Not according to all your fellow chavs that keep flooding other sites that can't wait to see arsenal or spurs playing Thursday night football. Well played though tonight. Romans cash is fillin your trophy cabinet to bursting point.

Outplayed don't think so you muppet benfica were s**** second half one love forever Chelsea fc

Haha yeah probably an arsenal fan looking for his first trophy in 9 years the tool

CfcBenWxm

HAHA years of not winning anything really does make people emotional, thanks for coming, see ya later.

Well done once again Chelsea from the blue half of Scotland! :-)

15 May 2013 21:16:24
I'm still the only person on this webpage who slates Azpilicueta. I have my reasons.

JG

What are those reasons? 3 own goals? 4 penalties?

Made one mistake, give him a break.

Don't care, he needs to work on his crosses and keeping his hands down especially in the penalty box but he is still our best RB.

JG talking utter rubbish as usual.
Cfcmatt.

Utter rubbish? Do the math. Statisticly he is worse than Ferreira and Bosingwa in each meaningful category. No goals, only four assists and loads of goals conceded. I'm not really sure what do you all see in that guy.

JG

Math, stats? Have a word with your self, he's what 21, 22 made about 40 appearances for a new club in a new country at a club that's not been settled all season.
You're a little to quick to judge.
I laugh at your lack of understanding.
Cfcmatt.

Theres more to a player than statistics, what a stupid way to judge him. maybe come to the bridge every other week and watch him play, then maybe you will understand.

15 May 2013 20:46:38
R, admires in middle and Moses wide for bit pace and power? Torres slated but what is he to do we can't get ball down and play so his tracking back and having to help, come on Chelsea

15 May 2013 20:40:08
Out played all over pitch they just smarter quicker than us got to do something this half come on chelsea

15 May 2013 20:20:41
I can not belive how bad we look tonight.

15 May 2013 19:06:43
A big thanks to rafa for everything you have done you have now regained control of the dressing room torres starting to perform and were in the final 2 night all the best fot the future

15 May 2013 18:05:27
Couple hours before kick off. Really nervous. Benfica are no push over. Got a feeling Luiz will be centre back. Hope not. Hoping him and lamps and Ramires wide. COME ON CHELSEA!!!

15 May 2013 08:01:45
What would everyone's starting XI be tomorrow?
Personally I think JT will only be fit for the bench, so heres mine.

Cech
Azpilicueta - Ivanovic - Cahill - Cole
Lampard - Luiz
Ramires/Moses - Oscar - Mata
Torres

Azpili is suspended!

Cech
Ivan, Cahill, Luiz, Cole
Ramires, Lampard
Moses, Mata, Oscar
Torres!

Team picks it's self tonight!

My bad! Azpili not suspended! Ramires over Moses, team spot on!
