football365.com on John Terry.

Look, we're not big fans of John Terry. There are very many reasons why, and there are plenty that disagree. However, the sight of him - in full kit no less - looning it up at the final whistle was unseemly at best. Chelsea won the Champions League in spite of him, not because of him. They won the semi-final against Barcelona after his utterly brainless knee on Alexis Sanchez, leaving his side with ten men to play one of the great sides of this generation, and also thus depriving the team of, in theory, their best defender. Yes, he played in the earlier rounds and thus contributed to this success, but not to the crucial stages. Not when his team should have been looking to him.

Being a leader is not just about shouting at your players and telling them what to do. A title like that demands something approaching dignity and responsibility for his teammates. If he really was a leader and a legend, as the banner at Stamford Bridge proclaims, he would have been available to start this game. Roy Keane was embarrassed at the 1999 final. He didn't strip off to reveal a number 16 shirt and take attention away from the players that won the thing. By putting himself in the middle of the celebrations, he made everything about him, when it was not at all. If Terry had any dignity, he would have been nowhere near the trophy presentation. Then again, I can hardly claim to be surprised on that score.


Having said that, wd Chelsea. No idea how you pulled it off though Cheesy

Concentrating on the positives rather than people like Terry.

Ashley Cole, immense

Cech immense, the save of the Schweinsteiger pen, wow


Many worse teams have lifted big trophies

The last 6 months from these two have been nothing short of outstanding.

As a few others have said Cahill and Mikel were both brilliant last night too.
