Leadfingers ~~ 4: Bertrand, Cahill, Cole, Lampard. More than usual; but agree the thing has got completely out of hand. '6&5' rule needs urgent implementation. My over-¾C support of Arsenal has become much more equivocal & muted of late: why support a foreign team who happen to play in London under a foreign manager in a stadium named for a Mid-East oil-power?

MichaelR; The 'luck' was that Bayern blew it themselves with their dire finishing. Should have been leading 4 or 5 nil at half-time but had forgotten to pack their shooting-boots ~ how many simple opportunities did they slice or misdirect? ~~ I lost count!. So Chelsea's victory was entirely down to Bayern's ineptitude, & shouldn't ∴ be grudged.

So muted & equivocal 'congratulations' to Chelsea; for a fine bringer of peace and joy to the GM household ~~ lifelong Arsenal myself [tho see above], but Emma supports Chelsea and ended day in highly euphoric state.
