No costa still is superior 

Edited May 22, 20179 yr by Jezq8

I honestly thought it was a 3pm kick off on Saturday.

Had forgotten it has been a 5.30pm kick off in recent years.

DOH!!!

Yeah I f**king hate that aswell, should still be a 3pm game. It's all designed to generate more money.

The weather forecast for the FA cup final is a scorching 27c+

It will be like an old school cup final, always seemed to be sunny and hot when I a kid in the 70's and 80's, be like boro in 97 that was a hot day, will dig out my shorts for wembley way!!

I guess we're both acclimatised to cope with warmer weather.

The two most successful clubs in the FA Cup this century. Both sides have won five FA Cups each in this century and lost only one final in that time.

Beating Arsenal would cap off the perfect season!

Mustafi and Mertesacker versus Hazard, Pedro and Willian...oil tankers can turn quicker...

Anybody else out there think bats should get a start over Costa?

 

 

I do, though with their defensive issues, I don't see why we can't go 3-5-2 and play both.

No, drop him in to midfield, on the left of the three, not sure it would work mind. I'm caught in two minds on who I'd go with, Michy looks deadlier than Costa at the moment.

I just think bats wants it more than Costa at the mo. Costa has already been sold in his head so has nothing to play for. Bats has everything to play for. No way will he want to be on loan at West Ham or some other mid table team next year. 

Tibo

Azpi Luiz GC

Moses Cesc Kante Alonso

WIllian Costa Hazard

I want a costa hat-trick and then he can leave. Cesc would be better than matic on the big wembley pitch. 

I can't wait for this. I love the FA Cup Final - as one of that generation when this was pretty much the only live match on TV all season. It's going to be a great day, I was really impressed yesterday with Willian and others, PL Winners medal around their necks, instantly saying "we've got to win the Cup too" - that's Conte's team, that's our team.

Come on Chelsea

arsenal the under dogs, how times have changed !! as has already been said, complacency is the only enemy here, chelsea could\should proper smash them up if they play like champions, 3-0

I think we'll smash the granny out of them. 

Conte won't stand for anything less than a perfect performance.

Arsenal would struggle even with a fully fit squad... with a makeshift defence against Hazard? Might as well hand us the trophy now to save themselves the embarrassment of AFTV meltdowns.

Yes!! Almost worth missing the trophy presentation to go out outside and try and find Aftv for a good laugh!!

Hope we win.

I've paid £300 for two tickets.

 

Koscielny's ban has been upheld and he will serve a three match suspension,

I thought the FA would totally bottle it and allow him to play but they haven't which is a surprise. I wasn't exactly worried if he did play but it's nice to see that his deserved punishment will be served and not let go simply because Arsenal are short of defenders.

Kosceilny's 3 match ban has been confirmed...bet he's off Mertesacker's Christmas card list...

Wenger said it looked harsh after the game lol. It was an awful challenge and deserved the red card.

I'm surprised wenger saw it. He sees f**k all else

I wonder if Didier is free next weekend...

Agreed mate!

Im a mixture of excitement and nerves about the Cup Final.

I really want us to beat them.

Come on Chelsea.
