I think we can all agree this settles it, right?

Out of curiosity, how many times have we won on 19 May, and please don't say 'once' 

Twice though one was Champions League Final, perhaps we should also be looking at how many Utd have won on the 19th too.

I know it's become fashionable to be 'dreading' the FA Cup final this season, but I am absolutely buzzing for this now.

I make United slight favourites, granted, but we are not going up against some Goliath of European football as the doom and gloom merchants would have you believe. 

For all Mourinho's 'big game pedigree', and I agree he has it, it's worth remembering that this counted for nothing when Sevilla took United to school over two legs in the Champions League this season. 

They can be beaten this United team. They have been beaten by all 3 promoted sides this season.

We beat them with ease at the Bridge in what was a massive game for Mourinho. 

COME ON YOU BLUES 

 

 

Whilst I agree with your post, those Sevilla games weren’t a cup final though. I know Jose has lost two finals in his career but the records  show for the most part he knows how to win them whereas Conte’s records show that he doesn’t. 

As with previous cup finals have started the day with a large breakfast and a glass of single malt whisky: Lagavulin. Leaving home soon to meet up with the others I go to the games with. We're meeting at a pub in Farringdon for a few beers. And then up to Wembley. I'll settle for a 1-0 win. And hopefully a few more beers and whiskies after the game.

To quote the late, great Jock Wallace: "We've got the battle fever on"

Let’s hope the 19th May is a lucky omen again.

Come on Chelsea!

GAMEDAY!!! COME ON CHELS!!!

19th May, my late father's birthday. Come on Chelsea!

posting this here although could go in the Conte thread - an interesting reflective article on what we all know is a problem within the club

Well I had an odd dream about the line-up last night. We had a mixture of current players, loan players, old players and Dota 2 heroes.

We had Loftus-Cheek in CM and Loftus-Cheek also at RW. Vialli up front, I think. Zouma and Earth Spirit at CB.

Remember 19/05 is very significant to us in another way.

Nothing quite like FA Cup final day, starting to feel the nerves and excitement now! 

Come on Chelsea smash these plastic day tripping w**kers and win it for Ray.

Now I'm sure we had more fun back in those days.

Played it very loud, my cat was slightly bemused 

It’s weird having the cup final at 17.15! Come on Chelsea!

 

Nerves are starting to kick in now, my confidence is telling me we’ll win 2-0 with Giroud getting both goals but my negativity is saying we’ll lose 1-2. 

please please please no bakajoko

And we all know he’ll be starting. Really must have pictures of Antonio shagging a donkey or something... how else does he start every week?

 

just hope he doesn’t get any goal assists for utd 

If we lose Conte becomes "a legend" for losing back to back FA cup finals...

This season was already full of those things so hopefully it's the one thing that doesn't happen...

Geez, can't the media look for something positive to say about us? It's just constant negativity, it's boring the f**k out of me now. We are in a cup final, it's not like we have been relegated.

Never been less excited about a big game. I just hope the team gives us some effort.

The players certainly owe a performance after the sh*t show v Huddersfield/Newcastle.

4-3-2-1
                 Courtois
  Azpi - Rudiger - Cahill - Alonso
   Fabregas - Bakayoko - Kante
           Willian - Hazard
                 Morata

Hopefully we win the FA Cup and Conte gets the sack next week. Up the Chels.

I would go with the the same team except Giroud rather than Morata. 

Morata’s been awful lately, dont think we can really count on him at the moment. 

Giroud has looked threatening ever since he signed here, think he deserves a start. 

Come on you Blues
