Letter from Terry

John Terry has written an open letter to Chelsea fans following the Champions
League Final.

The Chelsea captain wrote:

"To all the Chelsea fans, all my team-mates, the manager and staff at the club.

I am so sorry for missing the penalty and denying you the fans, my team-mates, family and friends the chance to become European champions.

Many people have told me I don't need to say that but I feel I need to, that's just me. I have relived that moment every minute since it happened. I have only slept a few hours and wake up every time hoping it's all been a bad dream.

I have had some amazing support from fans, current and ex-players, family and friends and I need to thank everyone for that. But I am a big man and I take
responsibility for us not winning.

I am and ALWAYS will be Chelsea through and through. (SFQ's thoughts: He's staying!!) I will give my all on and off the pitch to win this trophy as a player and one day as a manager. And I am sure we will win it.

That night in Moscow will haunt me forever and I feel I have let everybody down and this hurts me more than anything. I am not ashamed about crying. This is a
trophy I have tried so hard year after year to win and it was just an
uncontrollable reaction, I wear my heart on my sleeve, everybody knows that.

The road to Rome starts here, we have to try and turn this experience to
our advantage. I am very proud of how far we have come this season with everything that has gone on.

Thank you for all your support for the team this season."

And now, Avram Grant's contract as team manager has been terminated. I really don't know how i feel about that. I used to despise that fellow. But I've grown to respect him. He must have been hated by thousand thousands of Chelsea fans when he took over from Jose. Although technically, it is not Grant's fault that Jose had to leave. Jose is afterall our beloved manager, the Special One. I wouldn't say Grant did a brilliant job because it seemed that Jose already built a solid team and Grant simply enjoyed that benefit. But I admire the fact that he stayed rooted and unfazed. That he kept on going, although people (Chelsea fans, included) taunted him and labelled him as the Normal One and the Grumpy One. Thank you Avram, for the things you have done for the club. Getting to the UCL finals was such an incredible feat. Thank you.

This season has been a long, crazy rollercoaster ride. But i enjoyed it, very much. Chelsea, I'll miss you. And I shall see you again in August for Season 08/09.

Let's keep the blue and white flag flying high (:
