Just got back from the Bridge, and usually after nights like this, I feel absolutely gutted. I can remember one night, when we lost to Mallorca in the Semis of the Cup Winners Cup and I was devastated, but tonight I wasn't so despondent.
We were superb and first half we completely outplayed them. We deservedly went 2-0 through Gronkjaer's "poor cross" and lampard's well worked goal, and we were cruising. But following those two minutes of complete euphoria, Monaco grabbed a crucial goal. Now having seen the replays, I think it was handball, and although I'm disappointed at the poor decision, that's football. Some days the handball would have been given, on others the goal would stand. I'm not one to bitterly complain about what might have been.
At 2-1 we still could have gone on and done it, but the timing of that goal was disastrous. I honestly feel that had we gone in 2-0 up at half time, we could have won 4-0 or something like that. However that goal in injury time was a huge blow.
After that we missed a few great chances, Gudjohnsen and Gronkjaer 6 yards out with a free header, chested it down and ran backwards (top stuff Jesper! You magician you...) and Morientes' goal was the killer blow. There was no way we could score 3 more. We'd done all that we had to do tonight, but in the end it was not enough, and we just looked more and more tired as the game went on.
Our fans cheered right till the end (bar a 5 minute period of hush) and with 5 minutes to go, with us crashing out of the CL semi's 5-3, chants of "Ranieri's Blue Army" and "We love you Chelsea we do" rung around the stadium. This just summed it all up. We've had a great season, 2nd in the league at the moment, and we reached the CL semi finals, and it just showed how much we appreciated their efforts this season and how much we love the club.
So well done lads, you did us proud tonight. We couldn't have asked for any more from you, and we look forward to next year's European adventure.
Congratulations Monaco, and good luck in the Final and for the rest of the season.

Whatever mate.. *senses sour grapes*
Well Ranieri will definately be out now, I felt that perhaps winning the CL might have saved his job, but he will be on his way now. I feel he will be Chelseas loss.
