The guys old, but he freaking makes miracles... That in itself is well... Yeah...
Every team "deserves" what they get, by definition- as is life, but it's easy to feel a little sympathy for Spurs in this instance. They really did throw it away in the last couple of months (just as United did). It's a rather cruel way to get booted out of the CL before they were even in it. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Spurs.
Congrats Chelsea, well deserved.

Fuck this season, fuck Chelsea, fuck John Terry, and fuck Mario Gomez, the ridiculously-quiffed bellend.
Any objections

He is Chelsea in my eyes. Who cares if he is old. Just having him around would help. Torres on his own leading the line for Chelsea would be embarrassing.
Confidence
And he's not exactly a popular figure with the ultras, can you imagine if he missed it?

probably some players refused to shoot penalties... it might happen on these kind of situations
neuer and lahm (maybe alaba and badstuber too) are the only players who actually want to win and fight the whole 90 minutes. fuck everyone else. especially that diva robben.
Well, gotta hand it to the Chelsea players then. Luiz, Lampard and Cole's penalties were magnificent and you could easily tell they were shot with confidence. Luiz's in particular surprised me. And i have to admit Lampard looked completely bad-ass (especially with the Captain's band) before taking his penalty kick and after.
Congrats to Chelsea.
Can't wait for 2013, when Bayern finally wins it.
FC Bayern, Stern des Südens,
du wirst niemals untergehn.
Weil wir in guten wie in schlechten Zeiten
zueinander stehn.
FC Bayern, Deutscher Meister,
ja so heißt er, mein Verein.
Ja so war es und so ist es, und so wird es immer sein.

Bosigwa and Torres had really great games. Fuck, I'm so happy right now for a bunch of these players, who gives a shit about Terry, there's so many players in there that deserved this.

Just had a lovely discussion about the game with some Chelsea fans at MacDonalds
That must have went well.

My prediction was 132 posts short. Closer to the target than any of Gomez's shots
This is pretty much already written
And Liverpool.

English teams with their superiority complex treat the europa league like shit and the United and City team that were however many points of Chelsea couldn't get out of their groups this year...it's football, what sounds given on paper is probably the opposite of what we'll see.
Luiz has stepped up for penalties all year long, the only one he missed was in Leverkusen. Honestly Mata's was the most worrying for me. He's missed 3 this year I think and again tonight. but it doesnt really matter nowI did not think Luiz had the balls to take a penalty; thought he was gonna do a Ramos. And once Neuer had to step up to take one, you just kind of knew Chelsea had this one. Shades of '08, Anelka, and all that.
Hindsight is 20/20
Spurs? :/
I hope for long trips to Russia.
This is said every year and it is never the case.
Tottenham and Liverpool may look down on the Europa League, but Newcastle will be genuinely happy to be in Europe again and will probably give it their all.
i cant see the scousers doing well. they should have kept dalglish around
Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves

Yeah.. Seriously, everything went to hell after Mata's penalty was saved. It should have been Chelsea players sweating buckets. But nope, Luiz, Lampard and Cole kicked ass with their shots and was cool and calm.
This reminds me a lot of the shootout between US Women's and the Japanese Women's team during the WC where the US Women let the pressure get to them.
As a ball boy maybe.

Yeah I'll agree to that, generalized a bit too much there Fulham did well too few years back. Also as a sidenote, never really got why Spurs don't go for it...wtf else are they so busy challenging for?
They were challenging for the title this year until they started self-combusting.
The t...the.....the tit....the titl.....I'M SORRY I CAN'T SAY IT IT'S TOO FUNNY.
I can't wait for the Europa League next season. Newcastle - providing we get a couple more good players - could really compete IMO. Not necessarily win (but then who thought Fulham would get to the final) mind.
Never works ut like that. It's obvious that the German clubs have improved, the Italians are improving and the two Spanish behemoths are always loitering. Despite Chelsea's success, this has been a poor season for English clubs in Europe. It has been one of the most memorable seasons for English football in a long time.
I'd expect an English team in the final next year, but there won't be any one country's teams dominating and annihilating.
Spurs would rather focus 100% on the premier league and try and get champions league football next season.
Banned for thinking Kenny should have stayed as our manager. Harsh.

I've heard something about classy Bayern fans, guess you're not part of that group huh? You had 10 other players who could have taken that kick and he was the one who stepped up, it wasn't the best kick ever, but it certainly wasn't the worst. Cech made a great safe and it is what it is.

Bosingwa was acting like a four year old looking for attention during that trophy ceremony, it was a bit embarrassing how they couldn't even line up to allow Terry in front
Why do I get the feeling that defending is now a sin in football... Seriously... Chelsea did what they had to to get the Cup.
Barca can have all the possession in the world and beautiful tiki-taka passing, but it doesn't mean shit without trophies and it especially doesn't mean shit (also in Bayern's case) when you can't finish your fucking chances.
All this forces teams to do is to be a bit more creative in attack to take down defences like the ones Chelsea have done.
Let them have their moment.
One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. No joke.
Yup, yup. In the end, the lady (if she's not a bitch or tramp) will comfort him to no end.. That would be a prize in itself. hahahaha
