Congratulations on a great triumph. But the cup lifting didn't look very....uplifting. No fireworks,nonplussed reactions by all but the Chelsea team in the big money shot and a certain amount of confusion as to who would lift the cup first. I can't help but feel the scene would have been more spectacular had the favorites won. Joey Barton's reaction. " Worst trophy lifting I've ever seen. How did they manage to ruin that..." "Will all the subs and fringe players please leave the trophy alone! Let the chaps lift it. Happy for Lampard and co."
Kind of agree with him, they didn't make a huge thing of it, not that I cared as I was too busy running around screaming! Bosingwa ruined it a little bit too, he should've moved his ugly mush out of view and let Lamps, JT, Cole, Drogs and Cech in main focus!
It's their cup presentation and it's up to them i suppose. In years to come i doubt the players or supporters will care anyway. Always had a soft spot for Chelsea and used to watch them regularly back in the late 80s (took my mate's girlfriend's brother when he was at uni). Congratulations guys
" OK lads here is the brief. Lamps you lift the cup and as per usual JT will help you. Now you other lot, the media will be right peed off JT will be up there in his kit. I had a word with him but you all know JT I'm not sure he totally understood when I asked him to show some humility and keep a low profile, so I want you all to smother him. Make it look like a joyful hug for the captain something like that, but if he tries to push to the front push him back. I do not want his face holding the cup in the papers tomorrow, but we do want him to feel part of the celebration OK. CAHILL are you chewing gum again? I hope you brought enough for everyone. No? Ok spit it out, no not on the floor, in the bin, and if any TV interviews you I do not want to see you chewing."
The most important thing was that Kalou wasn't facing backwards, sparing the worldwide audience another glimpse of that shocking hair-style "spider" of his, honestly what was he thinking! Would have been nice to have a celebratory picture of Abramovich with Cech, Cole, Terry, Lampard and Drogba. After all they have been the core of this team for a long while. If Bosingwa lowered his left arm that would have been an even better photo
I think it would have showed a lot more class on Terry's part to accept he wasn't a part of the night and join in with the lap of honour rather than putting the kit on and being in the middle of it all in some sort of attempt to fool people who see the pictures in future that he played in the match.
Absolute carnage .......................****ing brilliant it looked like a bunch of mates on holiday.....which is the real strength of Chelsea,.......Unity! UTD have it.............Pool used to .......City may well have it. Spurs , sorry but no way ........So ****ing proud of this team !
