Chelsea deserve it.
I agree with Avram on the referee decision's, they do look very suspect, and Chelsea hardly ever get decisions in their favour because they are the most hated club in the league, so it makes a lot of sense. Premier League refs have historically always favoured Utd.
The decisions highlighted were big decisions and cost Chelsea the league imho, so they deffo deserve to win it.

I believe Chelsea deserve it more though, because of the injustice of the league situation.
Utd have never been too strong at European level anyway, always flop in the end, so it wouldnt surprise me if Chelsea walked over them tbh, 4-0 lol.

Yes it has nothing to do with it, but Chelsea deserve it, because they would have won the league if it hadnt have been for referees favouring Utd in everything and everyone hating Chelsea, so the second place of battle is in this final, and as the referee wont be from the UK (Sweden iirc) then Utd wont have the usual favourable decisions they get in the league.
Lets face it, the only reason they beat Barca was because they played a shambles of a team, in an absolute mess right now both on and off the pitch, and relying too heavily on a single young lad namely Messi.
The fact that Chelsea hammered an in-form Liverpool team and tamed the likes of Torres, a team with real European pedigree (2 finals in 3 years for instance), says to me that Chelsea earned their final place just a bit more than Utd.

You disagree with what?
Fact - Utd narrowly beat an out of sorts Barca team, who had their best players been filled with confidence and they had a full team to field, would have provided much tougher opposition. Everyone knew Frank was on his way, and that severely dented the Barca team morale, Ronaldinho, arguably their star player, has been a shadow all season and injured, Messi is worn out and too young and inexperienced, Henry has played crap all season, no Puyol etc...
Fact - Chelsea beat an in form Liverpool side, that had the pleasure of fielding a fully fit, underused in the league (nothing to play for) squad, who have masses of experience when it comes to the big games in Europe and were deffo favourites to win the match before the 1st leg. Chelsea showed a passion that I havent seen from any of the other 3 teams, they not only beat Liverpool, but they kept battling and absolutely thumped them!!
Chelsea showed to me, the sort of passion Liverpool play with in the CL, and that has been the secret to our success over recent years. Chelsea will have more fight and determination than Utd after coming so close, but losing the league title.
