Deserves it's own thread.

Fancy Arsenal for this. Don't underestimate the power of the sponsors.

I know what you mean. It was glossed over in the build up, saying Arsenal rode their luck against us in the semi.
They didn't ride their luck. They were given carte blanche to kick the shit out of our best players and we started from -1 rather than 0 as a handicap.
I'm not bitter though. Good luck to them here.

I'm fricking bitter. Cheating cunts had to buy a place in the final.

Incidentally Chelsea have also started on -1 as a handicap. That Arsenal goal was a very definite handball.

They've been crap though.

Looking good for The Emirates winning the FA cup. What were the odds on that?

Chelsea look pedestrian in midfield, poor in defence and toothless up front.

They're making Arsenal look good.

The old adage "you can only play as well as you're allowed to" is true here as well. To be fair to Arsenal they were quicker out of the blocks, have been sharper in the tackle, more incisive with their passing and have created numerous chances.

Chelsea are very much like the rags in that they can be playing poorly yet somehow hang in and get a scruffy goal from nowhere to turn the tide. I wonder whether Arsenal will regret those missed chances

Just watching Bellerin, and thinking "meh"... whilst either him or Kyle Walker will be an upgrade on what we have had over the last 2 seasons, can't help but think what we would give for a 26 year old Zabba.

Is it me but I'm not finding this a particularly enthralling game for the neutral ??

We should have been there to play some proper football.....or is it my blue spectacles ??

Bellerin looking more and more like a one-trick speed merchant.

hope we steer clear.

ahhaha. sent off for diving.
Moses ends his "time in the sun" with a sending off. he'll be on the bench next season after Chelsea bring in a better player or shift Az out wide.
