May 30, 20197 yr What a great second half from us. Early start for me today for work and I am up and ready ! Beating Arsenal 4-1 in a European Final ! Just brilliant. Thank You Chelsea.
May 30, 20197 yr Great Result - well done to All involved. I asked for them to make us Proud and they did exactly that. Another Trophy for the cabinet and made all the sweeter by beating London rivals and condemning them to play Thursday night football again next season. And well done Sarri. Picked the right side but how he managed to sneak into the Arsenal dressing room to give them their half-time team talk - kudos to that man!!
May 30, 20197 yr A thoroughly dominant display, particularly in the second half. That display would have to be one of Hazard's most dominant in a final, while Giroud impressed me as well. His deftly taken header reflected his natural strengths. If Hazard is leaving, it is perhaps fitting that he goes out as a winner, like he always has been. We'll miss you Eden. ? Happy for Sarri that he's gotten the 'never won a trophy' stigma off his back. With him I always knew that it was a question of opportunity in that regard, not ability. As for Arsenal, I'm surprised that they didn't bring their A-game for this. Emery knows how to win the EL, plus they had far more riding on this game than we did - yet their defence in the second half was porous and their attack was mostly MIA. Certainly a mentality problem at that club, not helped by players like No-Zil typically going AWOL when the pressure's on. TBH, although they've been a bit better in the PL this season, I'm not sure that Emery is the man to fix those issues in light of his inconsistent league record. Anyway:
May 30, 20197 yr f**k I'm still pretty f**ked, heads f**ked, voice is f**ked. I almost strangled my mate to death in the pub when we scored the 4th goal, good times. Say what you want, but this team always f**king deliveres when our backs are against the wall in these big finals. I can't fault anyone last night, pretty much everyone showed up and did a job for us last night.
May 30, 20197 yr Just looked at Arsenal fan TV Robbie says “we’re still here in Baku...” Other guy says “where the Fcuk are we going to go?” Magic! Edited May 30, 20197 yr by Shug
May 30, 20197 yr Well that went better than I expected I must say. Brilliant second half from us, and a very fitting send off for Hazard. I so glad Cech is coming home next season he stopped them from getting a proper thrashing last night. When that 4th goal went in I nearly spilled my wine. Just a word on Ozil, I think Winston Bogarde was more industrious than him when sitting on our bench. I'm feeling very happy this morning.

I think because we didn't have CL qualification on the line. That said, I would have been a bitter mess if we'd gone on to lose. But we didn't...we won, and in doing so, doomed Arsenal some more...so it's all the sweeter. Well done to the boys, and Sarri. It's lovely imagining all those goonies who thought they just had to turn up last night to beat a so called demotivated Chelsea. We dont give up and scrap for every thing as we're a club of winners. Now go celebrate with a burger you skinny sod ha ha...

May 30, 20197 yr I watched this in a pub not far from the Tower of London last night with my dad and my brothers, we were outnumbered in the pub by Gooners probably 80:20. Safe to say we outsang them all night.?
May 30, 20197 yr Amazing how much Arsenal is our bitch ? Loved it, one of the most dominant Chelsea cup final performances
May 30, 20197 yr I feel great, and while I know I shouldn't listen to fans of other clubs, who denigrate us for being a chaotic, mad house of a club. I love that we seem to thrive on chaos and still keep winning things.
