Chelsea’s Celebrations.

Good post Keitho.

Still think F£#%&! did well yesterday considering and it was quite touching when he scored

I read the other week that I now live in Florida so obviously, I can't pretend to actually follow Chelsea but I can pretend that I watched last night's match. And pretend I will.

Wasn't it something? All that emotion.

Real.

Hard.

Male.

Tears.

I just wanted to scoop up big Frank in my large masculine arms and give him a big cuddle - before pouring both of us a glass of cool white wine and watching a silly old black and white movie with each other on the settee. Perhaps having some fine Belgian chocolates nothwithstanding Frank's training. I'm sure he could sneak a few.

If Diana was alive today she would say, Paul' she would say, 'Paul, just go and have a £#%&!. You and Frank will never happen."

'No sooner said than done Marm' I would say.

Thank heavens the recent trial hasn't dampened your spirits

What was that armband Grant was wearing last night? Some kind of Holocaust remembrance?

Today is holocaust day. Avram Grant had family members who died at Auschwicz and he goes to the rememberance thingy every year.

Fair enough, but it felt a little unseemly that post-match he had to remove his jacket to show everyone the armband & kneel on the touchline.

He'd copped some flak (as had Benayoun and Ben Haim) from the Jewish community for going to work on Holocaust Remembrance Day. He probably wanted to show that it was in his thoughts.

who cares. let em celebrate like they have won the trophy.

Believe it or not but a chant of "United!" which was got going in South Stand was actually partially drowned out by cries of "Who are ya?" coming from the Stretford End.

The only blot on an otherwise excellent night on and off the pitch.

I have to say that in all my years of watching Football I've never felt more ashamed of my 'Sport' than I was last night.
The sight of the Chelsea players doing that 'Chrissy Waddle/Terry 'Butch' Butcher Wavey Arm Dance' was the most emarrassing thing I've ever seen on a Football pitch.

The psuedo 'JOy' of Ballack & Drogba in particular was a sight to behold.
Somewhat hypocritical, but there you go.

As pleased as I was to see the dippers take a hiding, I take no pleasure in seeing those arrogant, second rate cockney @#%&!s masquerading as a big Club.

We owe them one for Saturday & we certainly owe them one for last years Cup Final.

and while all this was going on how did the liverpool "warm down" go ?

more to the point, what were all you soft @#%&!s doing watching the after-match celebrations? and then the £#%&!ing post-match interviews? did you not have pints to drink? shite to talk about? birds to gawp at? wives to roger?

I can barely be arsed to watch our actual matches - top red - and you're watching didier drogba dance around like he's a black thunderbird. madness.

.

i thought it wasnt really happening.

it was so £#%&!ing fake it was unbelievable....

the players have probably seen other players do it and just copied them.

Has ever a more inappropriate, crass or classless, tribute been paid to a dead woman than the hoisting of a football shirt adorned with the icon 'Pat Lampard R.I.P.' after chelsea's 1st goal last Saturday?

United and, to their credit, City, stripped their shirts of all lettering and held out silence and respect for the dead a few months ago. Not so in west london, where a seemingly decent lady was degraded in death by the disingeuous, shamelessly sentimental, 'let's do anything that comes into our heads as a tribute' idiocy of a bunch of mercenary journeymen who will soon long since be forgotten.

What a sight; a stadium in delerious celebration of a goal as the players urge remembrance of a recently passed mother. To everything there is a season - and dedicating goals to the dead is the deepest demonstration of vaccuous buffoonery i shall ever witness.

That aside, you thought it was alright though?

Perhaps slightly off subject - but as £#%&!wit sportsmen @#%&! on about 'feelin' the presence of a recently deceased relative just before a big moment such as a penalty or a 20 yard putt - i heard recently a golfer who had just won a million dollar event saying that God was with him round the back nine.

Now i'm no religious nut but i think that any god worth an Our Father at bedtime is way too busy with crippled kids and starving Africans to be follwing some multi-millionaire around a golf course ensuring he bags yet another massive pay-day.

£#%&! 'em all.

God isn't just one bloke, stoopid. It's a multimillion dollar industry now.

I looked at training to become a God but the first few years salary is shite then there's the travel costs, watching Bruce Almighty... not worth it.
