I still can't believe that Chelsea, the only team who are as bad as Spurs at penalties, beat a German side in a shoot-out in Germany. The Bayern players shat themselves.

Should not have let Shinji play when he picked up the injury. It was obvious he was hurting. What were they thinking?
It's pretty obvious the United medical staff have no idea what they are doing. Heck, even Fergie said he could tell Vidic wasn't right in training but he still played him.

They allowed a non-German to shoot.
Are his ears hairy, or is it just the hair behind his ears making it look that way?
Whoa, those are some pretty hairy ears.

And yet when we seal an Audi sponsorship we still get shit seats.
Man, the Chevy seats are awful. I just felt like pointing that out.

Eid Mubarak to fellow Muslim gaffers. Wishing you all the best.
Cech nearly saved all of them for one. Chelsea players outside of Mata took excellent penalties - against a FEARLESS Neuer. C'mon bro, I know you despise the team (and there is nothing wrong with that) but you have to give Chelsea some credit for that shootout.

Chelsea showed absolute balls of steel so they deserved to win, Drogba and Cech essentially managed to frighten Bayern into losing the match. It was extraordinary for an English team to do that to a German side.
That was what surprised me the most was that Bayern had Neuer in goal who is excellent against penalties.
Chelsea's CL campaign last season had a fairy tale like ring too it where miracles happened. The more I look back at it the more puzzled I am that they managed to achieve it and break the hearts of Napoli, Barcelona and Bayern in the process.
Lionheart Neuer should be first.
Neuer said he's done shooting penalties. He didnt want to do it in the first place, but stepped up anyway.
Still cant believe that they didnt train penalty shootouts

When you play with arrogance and underestimate your opponent, you deserve to drop points.

The last 3 min were mesmerizing, right?
I agree bro - even if it were Tottenham in Chelsea's place I would absolutely love it if they can pull off such a thing agajnst a powerhouse German team. In fact due to my love for AVB i hope you guys can go all the way in the Europa League. Would be AVB's second.
I agree, even as a major Chelsea fan. I prefer the fairytale way over a straightforward mauling of every club to the final trophy as it is more exciting and intense that way.
Both our teams played very poorly in our last CL games so hopefully they pick it up in 2 weeks.

Diakite's car was burned down by a Lazio true fan (ultra) because he stalled on agreeing a new deal with the club.

because nothing could convince you more to stay at a club than having your car firebombed

Ugh, we have to play them in Rome a few weeks from now. I'm sure they will do their usual gas chamber/monkey chants. Unless that £30000 fine put them off.
loooooool
Their ultras are unreal, they once scheduled a meeting (!) with Thuram and promised him to stop the racist chants if he agrees to join Lazio.
I dont think it was a case of Chelsea frightening them, Bayern was just intimidated by the big stage / playing at home. I mean Chelsea literally had zero pressure before the game, Bayern was expected to win and should've won. Bayern were easily the best team in last years CL and both teams knew it.
Chelsea knew their best chance to win the Final would be a Penalty Shootout and consequently prepared like hell. Heynckes on the other hand doesnt believe in training penalties and it showed. Germany / German teams dominated PK's in the past because they were more prepared, just think of Lehmann in 2006, he already had a list with the tendencies of every the Argentinian player. This time Cech watched every PK Bayern took in the last five years and knew everything about the Bayern players. Sure Neuer most likely did the same, but the Chelsea players trained taking penalties and were prepared to deviate from their normal tendencies, the Bayern players werent.

So, we're rumored to be interested in Sebastian Rode for some time already. He just delayed talks over a new contract with Frankfurt.

Chelsea always prepare like crazy for penalty shootouts though, not just against Bayern and Cech trains in where the different players shoot and how, you can also go back and look at Cech vs United in the CL finale and he also went the correct way at nearly every shot. That the Chelsea players are usually shit at the actual shooting part is then another story...
