Oh there is one, whoever gets to the final will probably have Liverpool based ref and Collina wannabee Mike Dean given his swansong and you know he will make it a show about himself. Probably celebrate Liverpool goals.

He won't celebrate the goals but he will deny fouls with the most smug headshake ever

🤔  hadn't thought of that, good question... Let's baptise them as a "Val's family do" and see what happens.

Hopefully Chelsea will make my weekend a little better. I’ve caught a bug that was going round, felt sick and diarrhoea all day yesterday. Today I’ve got really bad stomach pain… Of course it had to happen on a nice warm sunny Bank holiday weekend! 
 

Anyway come on Chelsea. Hopefully Timo keeps his form going.

I have finally caught COVID so am feeling under the weather and generally sh*t. Hoping for a Christensen masterclass and a good thrashing of Palace to lift my spirits. 

Hope you feel better soon @dansubrosa and @Blueblur , if not physically, then mentally from today's result.

Just poured myself a bottle of Wantsum Green Hop Ernest. A fine beer.

Cmon Chelsea! Happy with the starting XI, would of like Tiago Silva to start but with Arsenal mid week i dont mind him on the bench for this one.

Am amazed anyone thinks Arsenal is a more important game than this given it would take an epic collapse for us to finish bellow them and Spurs.

@Valerie what's your prediction and first scorer?

Where did i say the Arsenal game is more important ? he played 120 against Real, our starting XI is good enough to allow him some rest.

Kickoff delayed for balloons........yet Liverpool players can throw flares on the pitch and everything carries on like normal.

The worst ref in the league to ref one of the most important matches in English football .. amazing

Oh no Anthony Taylor

Should I change into my new yellow away shirt? Please advise @axman2526 !

Bless the commentators - for once making an effort to pronounce a non-English name correctly (Guéhi as 'gur-hee') and managing to get it wrong.

Try as they might, the English are unable to cease to be ignorant peasants...

A drink-and-a-half in and swearing already. Back to match fitness.

Vieira is a miracle worker isn't he - "Boring" Joel Ward has spent most of the first five minutes in the opposition half.

Done.

I also took 2 500mg paracetamol tablets. Oh my head...

Why are we not 2 up already? Do the players not know we need a Taylor buffer?

Same here mate but hoping it's just a heavy cold, I've not been able to get a testing kit this weekend.  Lets hope the boys can do the business to cheer us all up.

f**king bold c**t

@axman2526 Stop making my nebulous brain wandering into X-rated alcoves when I struggle to watch the match enough as it is!

English people can't pronounce foreign names part 2:

Pronouncing 'Joachim' (as in Andersen) like 'Joaquin' (as in Phoenix or the ageless winger).

"... we'll just call him Dave"
