As frustrating as it is to see Arsenal in the final, a different question needs to be asked. Is Chelsea such a safe bet in the top 4? I'm starting to have my doubts. They have been faultering of late. Not a team to handle pressure too well ansd with the CL coming back...

At least least it was fun watching that gesticulating gimp Conte amounting to nothing tonight.

Chelsea were just plain shite.

They're very likely going out of the CL in the next round, can't see them dropping out of top 4 if I'm honest.
This. I think they've had their bad patch. They'll get scoring again properly. If Hazard gets injured somehow, like a falling piano - just theoretically - they'd be in trouble.

Looking on the bright side, neither team impressed me tonight. I think we can beat them both in the league if we play at our best.

Chelsea will undoubtly up their game at their place, they always do, even when they're having their worst season in over a decade like two seasons ago.

That performance means absolutely zero to how they will play against us.

What's worse for England is it looks like Wheelchair is going to the World Cup LOL.

Not really a stretch to imagine Arsenal fluking anything is it? Jammiest team going.

I honestly don't care about Arsenal picking up FA or Carabao cups, well done to them another trophy in the pot, another year for Wenger and the delusion continues.

Personally I don't want to see them lift a trophy. I won't lose sleep as Arsenal don't bother me as much as others but it's not an ideal situation.

What difference does it make to Tottenham if Arsenal win a trophy as opposed to Man City for example?

The only thing that people are scared of is bragging rights and a bit of banter from Arsenal fans but so what, as nice is it to continue winning trophies and it proves a great day out for your fans, the progression of your club is the most important thing and the trophies that they want to be competing for and winning aren't the domestic cups, what has it done for them?

How do Arsenal benefit from a Carabao cup trophy? They win the FA cup year after year and still lose their best players. The fans are in turmoil and want the manager out. It's not helping them keep their players or keeping the fans happy.
