This anyones game really. It's Cup Final and they have enough in attacking areas to cause us problems. We should on paper win this but this ain't on pare it's on the pitch. Anything can happen n a Cup Final and probably will. Let's hope we turn up today and do the double. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Think arsenal will play a lot better than most expect and offer us a good game. How badly do we want this that is key. How much did winning the title relax us? It was the biggest goal and has been achieved. Do we have anything left in the tank for the cup? 

I remember the Portsmouth game in 2010 and how we hit the woodwork loads of times, were all over them and then they got a pen...thankfully Pete saved it or you just felt it wasn't going to be our day...just a reminder that you can be favourites, be the better team and still have a real struggle...Arsenal will be up for this and the fact everyone is writing them off does Wenger's team talk for him

Yeah exactly we made a right meal of that game. I just don't see this easy game so many are predicting. Certainly don't see a clean sheet coming, they are too good up front imo for that to happen. 

Caught Conte on Football Focus, he realises the complacency factor saying that Arsenal will be hungry for the cup after missing out on the CL so it is important that Chelsea maintain their concentration.

all depends on whether your mugs have as good a track record as xfactor's sofa, have you any statistics?

The mugs do the right job, but only if I wear a Cbelsea shirt and jumper while drinking from any of my mugs. I'm a bit worried about the jumper: it's too hot to wear it today

God I do hope so

Hopefully Jt will play a part off the pitch...surely not going to start but you can imagine him in the dressing room making it clear to everyone how much it means and he certainly won't want to go out with a defeat either

It's a bit upsetting that you think a lucky sofa can contribute more than my choice of mugs, but I have to accept supporting Chelsea is a fine art 

As with everything in life, it's all about size, you know that....

Just imagine the scenes if we do it... JT's final game... Lifting another trophy...

'Double, Double, Double, John Terry has won the double! And the sh*t from the lane has won Fxck all again'

Best send off for England's greatest Centre Back.

Either way the Spuds will be gutted 

I'm pretty calm about this game, we will win if we play anywhere near our standard. Any in-depth analysis will show we are better that them in just about every position on the field. We will play the usual team, any we will get the job done if we don't get compalacement.

Fabregas or Matic to start? Matic for me. This game will be won by the team who control the midfield. Fabregas played in that 3-0 defeat at the Emirates. I'd bring Fabregas on later but we need to be strong in midfield for the first part of this match.

Oh yes, size matters, physically and symbolically 

 

Is it kick off time yet? Why does it take so long?!

I have been assured over and over again that this is not the case!!!

Wish I was at Wembley, wouldn't have to put up with the melodrama on T.V, like pointless poems for a start.

They lied so as not to upset you, sorry.

I dunno what it is, but this feels like a good old fashioned FA Cup Final day, one where it's the first thing you think of when you wake up, the first thing you do is to put Sky Sports News on (or BBC and ITV back in the day).

 

Just been getting a massive buzz of it all day.  Might be to do with the fact it's the first FA Cup final I've missed since the one against United, and I'm no longer used to watching it at home.

For once I'm actually looking forward to the build up!

Someone on Twitter actually said I won't mind Chelsea winning another trophy, because only Arsenal care about their existence. I mean most teams in the league have an unhealthy obessesion with us, but okay then. 

Match day. Kickoff just under 2 hours away. Cannot wait. 

Come on you Chelsea!!
