Didier has said that he won't be joining another Premiership team.

He's off to China to be reunited with Nicolas Anelka at Shanghai Shenhua

I take it you've never made a mistake ?
Terry might have fucked up in 1 game but fact he missed out on playing in the final would have hurt him more then anything. He also featured so heavily in past games so I think you're speaking a bit out of turn. If that had been Gerrard I'm sure you'd still have liked to have seen him up with the rest of the team.

i'd be happy for gerrard or any liverpool player who was suspended to miss a cups tour i support the club not the players also terry is scum which can't be denied.

It was certainly a continual battle against the odds. After the first leg of the Napoli tie Chelsea were 28/1 to win the Champions League. When they were 2-1 down on aggregate to Barcelona and down to 10 men in the second leg of that tie they were available at 999/1. And after Bayern Munich took the lead in the final with 8 minutes of the match to go Chelsea were on offer to win the cup at 79/1.

Well it can be denied. That is an opinion not matter of fact.

I think 99% of Chelsea fans couldn't give a flying fuck about what you think of Terry, nor would that have cared less seeing their club captain lift the trophy with the vice captain. He missed the final and served his punishment, get over it.
Anyway, he lifted it, so what you going to do about it now? Carry on pissing a moaning about a player and a club you have zero connection too ?

Farewell Didier Drogba! This is his final kick of a ball for Chelsea - scoring the last penalty of the penalty shootout in the Champions League final.

Seemingly Drogba wanted to join his best mate Mohammed Sylla at Glasgow Celtic in 2002...

At the time Celtic had Henrik Larsson, Chris Sutton and John Hartson as their forward line.

Who knows if he would have got a game, but he would have been a good option to come off the bench.

Chelsea have announced that terms have been agreed with Lille for the transfer of Eden Hazard. The player has agreed personal terms and passed a medical today. He becomes the 4th Belgian player at the club.

John Terry (England, #6)
Florent Malouda (France, #15)
Raul Meireles (Portugal, #16)

Chelsea statement:

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce that Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed manager and first-team coach on a two-year contract. Chief executive Ron Gourlay says: 'Roberto's quality was clear for all to see when he galvanised the squad last season and helped the club make history, and the owner and board are very pleased he will be continuing his good work. We all believed he was a young coach with much to offer when we first asked him to take charge of team affairs in March and the manner in which he worked with us, the players and all the staff, and the success that followed, made him the clear choice when it came to selecting the person to take us forward in the seasons to come.'
