CHAMPIONES! CHAMPIONES OLE OLE OLE!

Chelsea F.C. champions of Europe in the Europa league. Holders of both European trophies simultaneously .....and at the same time! Didn't think it was going to happen as we were pummelled by short sharp passing in the first half but like we did against Barca and Bayern last season, like Cassius Clay and his "dope on the rope" for ten rounds we absorbed all the punches and then hit them hard when they were tired.

Not impressed with ITV's coverage. So many shots of nail biting fans in the crowd.(cameraman was either rubbish or gay 'cos normally they find scantily clad women and take close ups.)  So much so that they almost missed Nando's opening goal. Just like they did in Barcelona.

I can understand last season as the camera had rusted into position as we had defended solidly for 40 minutes in the second half that it hadn't moved, poor man ha to get the wd40 out as Nando sprinted into the other half and past the keeper to the sound of Gary Neville's Scoregasm.

ITV also screwed up two weeks earlier when they had " The Special One" on the mike after going out in the semi finals and he wanted to talk, he wanted to tell the world that he was coming home to his beloved Chelsea.....but when he said that he wanted to go somewhere that he was loved..... They cut him off and said " I suppose that means England" and went to a commercial break.

John Terry took a beating for changing into his full kit including special cup final boots, just to pick up a trophy in a final that he didn't play in for the second year running. Apparently,  he was going to pick up the trophy even if Benfica won!

This is why SKY are the best at what they do. Now we have BT vision and ESPN showing football matches. Maybe they should ask SETANTA for advice.......
