ΕΧΟΥΜΕ ΤΟΥΣ ΧΕΙΡΟΤΕΡΟΥΣ ΣΠΙΚΕΡ ΣΤΟΝ ΚΟΣΜΟ;

CHELSEA ARE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE! Didier Drogba takes a disgustingly cool penalty, sidefooting it into the bottom left corner as Neuer goes the other way. Sit down, take a sup of industrial strength liquor and consider this: Chelsea are the champions of Europe! For nine years – nine long, bloody, heartbreaking years – it looked as if Chelsea and the European Cup were simply never meant to be. And then, when we thought a great team were winding down in their football dotage, they went and won the thing! Sometime in March, Fate did a crazy U-turn. Whenever this victory is discussed, one phrase will be used more than other: "it was meant to be."

Drogba is running round like a madman with his shirt off, a bit like a less fat Craig Beattie. Bayern look shellshocked. John Terry has whipped off his training top and is hugging allcomers. No, he hasn't nicked the armband off Frank Lampard. Roberto Di Matteo is in tears, trying to take it all him. There's a lovely embrace between the spine of Chelsea: Terry, Lampard and Drogba. They have been through so much together, and now they have won the greatest tournament in club football. This is magnificently perverse: they are the best team in Europe and the sixth best team in England! (ολόκληρο το κείμενο εδώ!)
