Tis' a shame. Most other teams and I'd be gutted but accept the fact that we took part in a bloody good FA cup semi.

Just can't when it's that lot and all they represent and ass licking from all and sundry in the media.

Bottom line is, as good as we think this side is, we simply are not.

When it truly, really counts against the best, we are truly lacking in quality, experience and control.

Flame away all you like but it's there for all to see.

Be interesting to see how this team handles the remaining few games.

This, absolutely. Even when we are in control, like we were for 70% of this game, we don't create a shitload of chances. The defending today has been diabolical. It's all well and good having all these defensive records etc but if you can't do it when it matters, then what's the point? Naive beyond naive. Thing is, with naivety one would think you'd learn eventually. It's simply not happening.

I don't think we've choked at all. They've just had the luck when it really mattered. The ball falls straight to Hazard on the edge of the box and then smash in a worldie. You can't legislate for that.

Agree, Chelsea are just really good - we'd have put 5 past most teams... They are just good enough to stop us.

Can't say we've played badly at Wembley this time

Everything good that happens to this vile club happens at our expense. We've played so well here, proud of the team. The psychological aspect of this could ruin our season if we're not careful

I think that might have been the Spurs of old, not worried about that

Absolutely. Nobody wants to spend their lives at a nearly club. It's only the fans who have to put up with the never ending shit.
Of course, you're right, but it's a bit weird. Ultimately, players are strongly responsible for a club not winning things, so it's a bit weird for them to complain about it.

well, fuck. Chelsea's deeper bench was the difference. They can bring on Hazard, Costa and Fabregas and we've got N'Koudou.
