Following his penalty miss in Moscow, albeit not the deciding penalty, John Terry has felt the need to take the blame for the defeat squarely on his shoulders, issuing a public apology to everyone connected to Chelsea. In an open letter on the club’s website, John says:
“I am so sorry for missing the penalty and [...]

A short statement on the Chelsea website and Grant’s eight months in charge are over. No-one’s left in open-mouthed disbelief and whilst some have said they ‘feel sorry’ for him, I’ve yet to hear any statements of outrage that the decision was taken to terminate his contract.

Like everyone else, I’ve spent a lot of time talking about Drogba this season, and usually for all the wrong reasons. Last season I heard it said on many occasion that Chelsea would never cope without him but for much of this season it would seem we’ve done exactly that. He’s played half his games [...]

I wouldn’t flatter myself by even imagining I’m the only Chelsea supporter who feels like their heart’s been ripped out right now, but maybe I’ll be the only one owning up to another emotion following last night’s game – shame, that I didn’t give the players enough credit going into it.

It’s finally arrived, the day of the first all-English final the UEFA Champions League has seen and tonight, all eyes will be on the Premier League’s top two teams – albeit in Moscow where neither side has the home advantage – unless you count the Abramovich connection.
