Congrats you boludos.

Well done Chelsea, from looking like PL mid-table to UCL winners, nice turn around. 

Best part about it is City didn't win it. And that smug twAat Noel Gallagher's fizzog.

The Troll,Kiss of Death,

Strikes again????????????

[wilai]

Well done Chelsea. A deserved victory with Kante superb. If Werner's finishing could match the rest of his attacking work, you'd have sewn it up in the first fifteen minutes. City will be off to the shops in the summer so everyone else will need to lock up their strikers!.

123  day,s as Chelsea,s Mngr , and a  CL  win.

from ninth place in the EPL

when he took over,with a bunch of Keystone Cops defenders ,take a bow T and T and T, i doff my hat to you sir❤️

 

[Kadilo]

Congrats. Never saw that coming tbh.
Excellent match for a neutral. High quality, high paced, a gulf of difference from the Europa final. 
 

Tuchel masterclass. 
 

Best I’ve seen James and Chilwell. Great news for England too. 

[oldgit]

Guts, grit and determination throughout the team.

True that and I'll add discipline, focus and as the came wore on, ever increasing belief. I watched on UEFA TV and obviously enjoyed the performance and result, they stuck with the players for quite a while after the cup was lifted and it was great to see the whole squad and staff celebrating, especially those who started with us as kids and the likes of Mendy, Kante, Rudiger & Azpi - well, all of them really.

So you too suffered David Pleats ramblings and terrible pronunciations (he renamed Gundogan as Gundahan and he butchered Zinchenko).

Hoping the Bees win the play-off first.

 

Typical northerner, I know nothing of Brentford. I thought it was north of London but confusing myself with Watford. Just checked Google maps and see Brentford is west London near Heathrow and Twickenham.

 

Question: Against which team will be their closest derby match?

QPR are the closest but because London has a lot of clubs the local derby isn't always the most fierce.  E.g. Chelsea see Spurs as a bigger rivalry than against Fulham our closest neighbours due to the competitive history. We don't always face our nearest rivals in the same league. Different decades different rivals are elevated. QPR used to be the derby for CH rather than Fulham in the 90s because Fulham weren't in the same division and hence not seen as close rivals.  A bit like United and Liverpool if you like when City weren't in the same league is CH with Spurs.  Of course Spurs v Arsenal is a bigger rivalry.

 

Brentford were actually above QPR in divisional terms many moons ago.  Fulham were also in the top division among with CH in the 60s.

 

Who was City's biggest derby rivals when you didn't play United as you weren't in the top division. Stockport? Bolton?

Cheers for that.

 

I can't comment for all blues, for instance i think MrBJ is from north side, Rochdale I think, but as I live approx 6 miles from City and 3 miles from Stockport County, and County were on the up when we were on the down, County would have been the local derby - as you know Stockport is a major City fan area.

 

Bolton never seem local (even though it's not far), and isn't considered Greater Manchester, unlike County Oldham Bury and Rochdale who are local clubs.

The Oldham who were unbeatable on their plastic pitch (back in the day)....... until a certain team in blue went up there and stuffed them 3 or 4-0. I seem to remember them getting a couple of decent cup results....... unlike a certain team in blue at that time.

Pronunciations aside there are worse out there, but I do remember him saying something completely random at one point, although I can't now remember what it was. 

 

You need little disappointments at times to make the successes that much sweeter. I know we've each had our share of ups and downs over the years.
