    I may be giving Terry too much respect, but I don't think he'd do it.

    Keane and Scholes were on the pitch in their suits during the post-game celebrations in 99, they both got medals. I don't think it was ever suggested that Keane would come on and lift the trophy, and he wouldn't have done it anyway.

    I don't really care if Terry lifts it or not if we win but I think it should be up to the players who played to decide.

    Come to think of it, it might be a nice gesture to let him lift a trophy before he is, hopefully, sent to prison.

    Terry aside, because I think he's a case all in himself, and quite frankly has done himself no favours.

    I wouldn't begrudge any team captain who helped his side all the way to a champions league final, the honour of lifting the cup. The suspension ruling shouldn't have anything to do with the politics of lifting a cup that required more than a single game to achieve.

    Looks like Guardiola will step down as Barca coach. He's achieved a hell of a lot over four years. Hope he does well in his future career and doesn't go to Chelsea

    Guillem Balague was on the radio as it broke saying he is '99% sure he will take a sabbatical rather than go to another club'

    That's a shame. But it begs the question. Where do you go in your managerial career after that? There was talks of him taking some time out after this season too.

    On the whole "Why do people hate Chelsea" issue, it's surely got to be down to the amount of (rightly so) negative press they get.

    Ashley Cole shooting an intern with an Air Rifle, Ashley Cole's backroom meetings with Mourinho. Ashley Cole's affairs.

    John Terry shagging his team mates wife, John Terry racialy abusing Anton Ferdinand, John Terry showing fans around for cash.

    Add this with the constant hiring and then, often unjustly, firing of managers and Abramovich's media presence (i.e those accusations that he somehow swindled his business partner out of a load of money or something) mean that Chelsea get a hell of a lot of bad PR.

    FWIW, without Terry and Cole I doubt I'd have anymore of a problem with Chelsea as I do with any other of Arsenal's rivals, but the strong, experienced English contingency means that their players are going to get worse press than say, Arsenal's "Young Stars" like Wilshere and Chamberlain. I'm almost certain that Wilshere will have a few incidents before his career is over that will disgrace Arsenal a bit.

    Spain maybe? I can't see Del Bosque staying past the Euro's.

    He'll take a two year break and take over at Arsenal once Arsene's contract finishes.

    Will be interesting to see who takes the Barca job. According to the BBC, the bookies favourites are Bielsa, Wenger (!) and AVB (!!)

    Less convinced of that as I once was. Wengerball has moved on to a much more pragmatic approach. Spain is a decent shout, but sure I saw Del Bosque had signed a new contract.

    Already nervous about tomorrow. So weird, it's probably the nearest I'll get to the feeling of Spurs playing in a CL final. COYBM!

    I just hope it is a good final. If Chelsea park up shop for 90 minutes I'll be properly cheesed off.

    But that being said part of me does hope Spurs get the 4th CL spot. I really enjoyed their approach to the competition a couple of years ago. They didn't compromise, played some nifty football and got themselves some decent results along the way.

    If Chelsea win does it mean Spurs won't get the chance to play in the CL?

    Spurs fans of my Facebook seem to be cheering for a Bayern win like their life depended on it.

    I like it when he's angry.

    You forgot Drogba rolling around on the floor for 3 to 5 minutes every single fucking game.

    Bayern are even more depleted than Chelsea in defence, can't see them stopping Drogba and Mata.

    Surprised at how heavily the odds are being stacked towards Bayern, 4/5 on for Bayern and 7/2 Chelsea. Pretty wide odds for a final.
