Spurs fans, please don't take this next statement the wrong way but...

"Arsenal have lost more big name players in the last 15 years than Spurs have had in the same time frame and this will be our 16th consequtive season in the Champions League"

I am not trying to use this as a positive, because I do wonder where we would be if we didn't constantly, sell on our top players. However, this is where Wenger seriuously earns his money and I would not trust any other manage,r at any other team, to do the same bar maybe Fergurson. As the saying goeas don't try this at home.

My point though, is this, I am worried about RVP and Wallcott leaving but I would be more worried if I was a spurs fan about loosing Bale and Modric. Wenger has proven he can cope with loosing such beig names, I'm not sure Harry could.

The inevitability of it all was what was staggering. Even after they scored I knew they wouldn't hang on. And when Drogba got the equalizer, it seemed certain Bayern would contrive to lose it.

Drogba has been a great player for Chelsea over the years, particularly in big games, and out of that team I think he deserves a Champions League medal the most. And what a way to bow out (I assume) at Chelsea with an equalizer and a spot-kick that wins the biggest club trophy of all. Congrats to him, he earned it.

Too bad for Spurs fans, the least deserving team definitely won, but Bayern spurned too many chances to feel as if they`ve been robbed.

I stand by my pick, as Bayern were the better team by miles, but they couldn`t make their dominance pay, and that`s the way the ball bounces in football.

What a load of nonsense. Why were Chelsea least deserving?

Because they were clearly the 2nd best team out there? Sometimes the scoreline or result doesn't always indicate that the best team won. Chelsea looked like Stoke out there, throwing their bodies around in the penalty area to desperately block Bayern's shots. Not exactly a convincing case.

As I indicated, Bayern can't complain because they squandered their chances. But that doesn't mean that they weren't better on the day. It should never have gone to penalties in the first place if Bayern had made their dominance count.

Excepting victims of obviously incorrect - and crucial - refereeing decisions, the team that 'deserves' to win the match is the team that actually wins the match. You can complain about a team's tactics all day long, but if they played within the rules of the game and presented you with a problem you could not solve, they deserved their victory.

Did Chelsea impress us with a brand of enterprising, free-flowing football that had the neutral salivating? No.

Did they play the correct game given the opposition and the circumstances, and did they keep their heads when it went down to the wire? Yes.

They were therefore 'deserving' winners.
