dyabman: 25hrs to go . . .

i am buying a chelsea shirt later tonight in the city!

coogar:

but you'd have a very difficult task to win the competition.
this is an away game for chelsea, bayern are playing at home.
they know that pitch like the back of their hand and there would
be more bayern fans from the terraces to the ball boys..........

makes me wonder why uefa are such cheats when it comes to england.
whenever the venue for the final ever comes to england, wembley
would be chosen. a stadium no football club uses. if it goes to germany,
spain, france, etc - the event would be held in the stadium of a football club.

i can imagine if last season's final was held at old trafford, united woulda won it at a canter!

The 2003 Champions league final was held in Old trafford.

How many stadiums are above 60,000 in capacity and belong to clubs in England? Thats where the problem lies

E.g in germany Stuutgart, Schalke, Hertha berlin, Dortmund, bayern all play in Stadiums with capacities over 60k, While Liverpool Chelsea and City have stadiums with capacity less than 50,000

Stuttgart would host a CL finals before Any of City, Chelsea or Pool

they should keep hosting it in club stadiums in england, not at wembley!
arsenal have 60,000 capacity stadium, united have 76,000 capacity stadium
why take the stadium to a pitch no football club uses in england - it's a disadvantage!
bayern have all the advantage tomorrow. they own the ball-boys, the announcer, majority of the fans
and they own the pitch(where they have played more than 50 games this season).

Man Utd has hosted less than 10yrs ago,

Arsenal built their stadium few years ago and Arsenal doesnt rank high up in the scheme of things in Europe

Assuming the decide to host at Emirate, the CL trophy would be the first trophy to grace that stadium even though its in transit

Whenever they decide to use England its either Wembley or Old trafford

Before 2010, when was the last time Bernabeu hosted? Since 1999, Nou Camp hasnt hosted yet in the last 10yrs England has hosted twice and next yr is even Wembley again

allianz was opened barely 7 yrs ago....in that period, arsenal and bayern
have only featured once in the final of elite europe. so what criteria made
them give it to bayern to host?

exactly my point!
hosting it in wembley does not benefit any of the big clubs in england.
none of them club football in wembley unlike milan, ac milan, barcelona,
real madrid, bayern munich, etc who would play it in their club stadium if
they get the chance to host it in their respective countries.

Bayern is one of the European heavyweights , Arsenal is not

When you have Beckenbauer, Rummenigge, Gerd Muller and Hoeness making a case for Bayern? Who makes Arsenals case? When their best player in history is still playing for New York redbulls or is it Paddy Viera or Kanu earning their paychheck at city and Pompey or Sylvain Wiltord and Lauren

Even Players like Bergkamp and Overmars have their allegiances to Ajax more than Arsenal

The only eligible club stadium in England is Old Trafford and they can only host so much at Old trafford

dayokanu:

it's not about the club.....it's about the stadium!
roma(stadio olimpico), aek athens + panathanaikos(olympic stadium), galatasaray(istanbul)and
schalke04 all hosted it just few seasons ago. hampden park(home of queen's park) hosted it in 2002.
i don't see how these teams are better than arsenal in europe.

True that but UEFA has officially sold equal amount of tickets to both fans.
I agree that CFC is the underdog but i believe the hunger for the CL is enough to drive us.

I can say these stadiums have bigger capacities than most English club stadiums aside Man Utd. The final of the whole Europe. Fans wont be cramped into a 40k stadium.

I believe in the future Emirates would host

schalke's stadium and hampden park were 52,000 capacity when they hosted it.
the emirates is bigger than them and even more modern!

As at 2004 when Schalke stadium in Gelsenkirchen hosted the finals It was the most modern stadium in Europe. It had a slide out pitch and its covered.

Like I said in the future Emirates would host its only been in existence for 5-6yrs

we shall be victors...

mykali: we shall be victors...

it's all over sissi the oracle has chosen bayern as the winner!

I would rather go with ilama the camel that picked chelsea after correctly predicting the fa cup final also. That sissi of an oracle was influenced from the video which i saw and this is his first prediction so not gonna follow that.

ritchboy: One word:

Coogar, care to explain why Dyabman is striking a pose in front of your under-garments?

freecocoa: Today is the day o.

I just can't wait to drown in my jubilation.

coogar:

it's all over sissi the oracle has chosen bayern as the winner!

Mere superstition.
Nothing can stop us now. Glory all the way.

Better rock your CFC jersey tonight.
While at it, keep a bubbly by your side to pop at 9.45pm

It is time to witness the Almighty Padaanu season for Chelshit. And this is to also notify people that will be out after tonights game, once Chelsea loses, your life is at stake anywhere you are @ Please stay indoors.

Abeg, you guys should try not to bore us with your anti-football.

Which Antifootball?
Football is about ATTACK and DEFENCE
If it wasn't, teams might as well employ a 0-0-10 formation.

medjai: Abeg, you guys should try not to bore us with your anti-football.

Chelsea you mean? GTEFOH!!!

medjai: Drogba's a fuckin boss. Damn!

Congrats Chelsea, most undeserved CL winners in history
