Fantastic result and hopefully a monkey off their backs. Emma Hayes farewell tour could end up like Klopps at this rate
WFA Cup SF | United 2-1 Chelsea - we're going to Wemb-er-ley

Yes!!!
Poor second half but hanged on in there. Great result
Can they play our remaining PL games please
It was a horrible last hour of football, but I must say there were some very strong performances we saw today.
Earps + the CBs, the whole backline really. García and Naalsund very good.

This has been a terrible season so it’s so nice that the players get this moment. Need to get the trophy now
Should be favourites to finally win some silverware now.
Girls, it’s Spurs…

Been an up and down season from Earps but she performed then when we needed her
Backs to the wall second half but great effort/dug in.
Always nice to see Chelsea lose (and firsts time v us) and Emma Hayes look miserable

And let's not be sporting about this - no, Grace Clinton can't play
Not for them anyway...
Well done ladies another final to look forward to
We were actually relatively comfortable after Earps’ ”injury”. Sure they launched a lot of long balls in the box but we mainly defended our box superbly late on in the game.
Can’t believe they’re interviewing Earps now… no way I’d leave team celebrating so soon after the end
Hope Barcelona tonk Chelsea.
Part of the game. Plus we haven’t won anything yet.
Started the season a bit under par, but she's kept us in a lot of matches this season.
Klopp and Hayes farewell tour derailed in one afternoon
I forgot the KO time for this and tuned in on 67 mins and I am glad I did cause, Christ Almighty, that 30 mins was heartstopping. I don’t think it would have coped with the full 90!
Oh. My. God.
Earps:

How did our 3-1 goal get disallowed so incredible late? Did they use VAR?
I will wait for the official highlights to be released in order to have a better opinion, but it doesn't look like VAR was used today. The final will have VAR though.

On the post-match celebrations: Zel [Katie Zelem] said drinks on gaffer [Marc Skinner]. I said two days off! I'm going to sit in an ice bath for as long as I can.

Fantastic stuff. Great to finally beat Chelsea.
Wow. Just out of the ground now, that was intense. They were fired up today, the number of blocks and challenges, the chasing and energy were top notch.
I don’t have final tickets, but are there some being released to ST holders now?

I would guess so. I read that United get 12k tickets so they'll probably do ST holders first. It'll be a narrow window though.
That’s pathetic.
Flag went up - I think it was the ref who blew late, presumably when she heard the assistant in her headset.

Still can’t believe it! I was so worried when James scored before half time. I was imagining them scoring early in the second half and then blowing us away after that. But we defended for our lives out there. They were all excellent but Garcia stood out for me. She’s an absolute fighter from the first minute to the last and I love her energy. It would be shame if we lose her in the summer.
Time to book tickets to Wembley again!!

I think we got 8k last year, so it’s a whole 50% extra! But yeah, I hate the fact that they sell so many tickets to neutrals/corporations before the teams are even determined.
Congrats you lot. I was half watching the game. We should have done better I felt but a fair result in the end.
Good luck in the final.

Any ticket news? I’m looking for 4 (2 adults 2 children) thanks
Yeah I know. It’s just incredible. Would love to hear the reason behind not doing the same for the men’s FA Cup Final?
Thanks. If this game was replayed again Chelsea would have won 8 or 9 times out of 10. Without taking into consideration United dropped back a bit as they were in the lead. Absolutely scary to face that lineup of blues attacking you non-stop, I still cant believe we actually won the game. First time in 16 or 17 tries we managed to beat Chelsea. Just need to beat Spurs now to make it count for something :-)
Fair play. In terms of fight and attitude I agree that we deserved it.
If we were in your shoes and our opponents won it like that I’d be pretty frustrated.
But of course there’s no one single way to win football matches and we haven’t beaten you until today so whatever it takes I guess.
Yeah you lot look a bit jaded, but it still took Earps to have one of those keeper games that annoys when it's against you!
