Chelsea, the Champions of England

John Terry

"It’s about Chelsea Football Club and our day today. It’s been a hard three years, not winning the Premier League, but we’ve done it today and we deserved it. It’s been inside of me for three years, seeing Man United lift it season after season and every single one of us has sat there and watched it. And now it’s their turn to sit there and watch us today."

Carlo Ancelotti

"It’s fantastic, we did our best and I did my best for this club. There’s a fantastic atmosphere at this club, with these supporters, and I think we deserved to win the championship after this season. We are very happy.

"There are a lot of things we’re happy about. We’re happy for this record, for Didier being the top scorer, but the most important thing is that we showed some good play. It has been right up there because of the way we’ve done it, we finished the season in style. It’s been a great Premier League season and I think in the end we deserved to come out on top."

Frank Lampard

"

"The way we’ve finished this season in style is great. It’s been a great season and we fully deserve to come out on top. The first couple we won we did it relatively easily compared to this one, after not winning it for three years, it’s superb. We’ve got experience, we are building for the future. We all look after ourselves, the team is in tip top condition, and we’ll carry on, simple as that."

"

Didier Drogba

"

"We had some difficult seasons, and you know we played some good football and we’d showed it today again.

"The mental strength was key. Even when we were really not playing well, like the 20 minutes after the first goal today, we kept going and trying, and the motor was strong. The team is strong mentally. For a team that is supposed to be too old, we can be proud of what we achieved today."

"

Ray Wilkins

"

"Carlo is a super bloke. Everyone in the squad is a fantastic footballer but to manage a person is not easy and he does that superbly. It’s been a delight to work with him.

"We played some wonderful football. To score seven or more goals four times is phenomenal but when you have a group of winners like we have it does help. We had some sticky times but the players showed what they have got."

"

Michael Ballack

"

"Winning against the big four twice was a big advantage for us. We dropped some points against the weaker teams but we deserved it. It was tense today We did not start well but we scored with our first chance. Now we can make history by winning the Double."

"

Ashley Cole

"

"It’s been a long time since I won a league, it’s my first title at Chelsea and I’m very happy. Hopefully now everybody will get off my back and realise why I came here."

We...are...the...champions! Piss off rival fans like you’ve been waiting for this day. Keep referring to Chelsea only as "champions." Give this 09/10 Chelsea team an apt nick name—"unstoppables" or something and use it like they’ve been awarded that title. Just enjoy and celebrate as much as you can, because WE...ARE...THE...CHAMPIONS!!!
