Going to have to go for Chelsea win, Everton were admittedly a bit lucky to be in the final, that and Berbatov taking what is probably the worst penalty of all time  |

I'm not sure, it'll be scrappy i think. Everton will (try and) stop Chelsea playing football, so both teams will end up fighting the ball. Reckon Everton will also play off the counter attack.

Yep, great start from Everton, but they've done f*** all since! Been all Chelsea.

Good response to the goal, need a bit more quality around the box. That left side will be the key to the game, Hibbert is really struggling.

Yeah, Malouda's being allowed to whip balls in at his own will, Cole's getting forward as has Bosingwa. What were the defence doing though for the Drogba goal? Poor, poor defending  |

What a hit by Malouda, unfortunate no one saw that it crossed the line!

haha, I don't think many people noticed that go in, imagine after the Barca game Everton had come back and won it after that  congratulations to Chelsea though, the better team won at the end of the day. |

I was watching it on ITV, and I love how Guus after a few questions blew off the reporter because he wanted to go celebrate. I loved though how Wilkins waited for Guus to hoist the trophy with him. I hope there will be photos of that. Very emotional to send Guus off with a winner's medal. |

That first touch from Ashley Cole was absolutely world class (the one from the long ball, on the touchline) and summed up his season for me.

Ashley Cole deserved Man of the Match, no hiccups in attack or defense. He would have been my MOTM too.

Definitely. Him and Malouda were awesome, and that left hand side was definitely Chelsea's focal point in attack for the first half, not so much the second.

Was a much better final than I was expecting. Chelsea deserved it because after that quick goal, Everton were clearly second best even though they gave it a good go. Even though I wanted them to equalise, it would have been unfair on Chelsea after that goal that wasn't given but was clearly over the line. When oh when are people going to stop arguing against introducing technology which will stop this kind of unfairness? Nice for Guus too. Down points for me - The ref was inconsistant, booking someone for an accidental trip yet letting others away with quite bad tackles. Also didn't like the way Chelsea kept getting the game stopped and started toward the end by throwing themselves on the floor everytime someone in a blue shirt breathed on them, was glad that at least Lumpy got booked for diving.  |

I couldnt believe that Essien wasnt booked for his challenge, especially as it was a few minutes after an everton player was booked for a far less malicious tackle.
