Last season it was a derby in the same final. It finished 2-1 but we hardly laid a glove on them.

Chelsea are a better coached team than us. I’ve never seen us create as many chances against City under ETH like Chelsea just did tonight.
Different mindsets. I would be relishing the chance to make Pep drink his water bottle during a cup final. Pep knows it’s a derby and losing to united is not acceptable . The pressure on City will be immense but not on united. You have already fecked over a better team than you in Liverpool so why not them. Your support will be better that’s for sure.

So then, De Bruyne has 10/10:

- power
- stamina
- aggression
- robustness

and looks like he could play another full 90.…
Let's just say if he ends up shattering a knee within the next 6 months, we could call it a "Del Piero"

We'll find a way to lose to Coventry tomorrow somehow and then City will walk the final.
Prefer that to what happened last year. At least it would almost guarantee we finally start back on the way to getting back to the top with a proper manager

It helps when a certain ref gets a to ref a few games in dubai
:lol: Because refs aren't incompetent in other games right? Has to be corruption and not pure incompetence like we see every week.

Apart from the energy, they seem a bit off in the attacking end; if we scored first we probably could keep them at bay the entire match and kill them off
For sure, I wouldn't back City currently to have an easy time against anyone bar maybe Sheffield United. Miles off with the final ball last couple of weeks and looking very leggy.

He is really bad, he has a long way to go to atone for this season, he keeps breaking their hearts
I was supporting Chelsea for a total of 98 minutes and my blood pressure is shot to shit.

I think I also have piles now.

God knows how much damage he’s done to humanity with his awful finishing

Oliver’s incompetence oddly benefits one specific team whenever he’s officiated in their matches. But life is full of coincidences. Like Oliver's Middle Eastern gigs.

Nicolas Jackson cost Chelsea that game, thought they defended relatively well most the game, and was let down by their striker massively. Really disappointing, can't be arsed with another controlling possession dominating watch from city in the final, Chelsea vs United would've been a much better watch and closer contest.

Chelsea (the saviours of football) fan.
They should have put him on a small basic and a huge goal bonus. They’d be quids in
He's not a massive* salary (less than £100K if you Google it) as he was "only" £32 mil. Was signed as a backup as far as I know.

*massive for a Chelsea player, obviously he's earning a feckload.

Let’s see what happens. I won’t be surprised if Coventry make it to the final.

Look at Lineker, what a snivelling little sycophant. Fair play to shearer for calling out guardiola and his obscene squad size.

edit: it gets worse every second. Lineker touching his arm and giggling like a schoolgirl. Just give the presenting job to keane.

finishing with everybody ignoring richards bleating 'we want you to be happy pep', and lineker almost getting to his knees and unzipping him for 'spending so much time with us.' Unwatchable stuff and all part of the same big off pitch city ownership of media

Pep’s on the sniff again, rambling trying to sound flabbergasted about his players. “I don’t know how we do it guys!” We know how you cheating feck.

The best argument DeZerbi has for being a coaching genius is Caicedo.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"

Surprised he didn’t say hello in Spanish… usually likes to get some Spanish in whenever he can.

Shearer put him in his place I thought. Biggest squad in the country, why not use it?
Sherarers an idiot, just looking the the squad lists before the game Chelsea had about 10 more registered players.
