Expecting a dire FA Cup final. With Jose finding a way to win, akin to the game at Old Trafford this season.

We'll probably play well for a while, not take our chances and get punished by Alexis or Rashford.

Bit quiet considering it's the Cup Final. Have we all got bored with Cup Finals or convinced we are going to get hammered?

The disappointment of 1994 still burns deep. Having never really know a Chelsea FA Cup final, I didn't expect to see one again anytime soon. Certainly didn't expect 9!

I know a very small amount about football, but can the FA Cup Final end in a tie/draw? If I place £20 on both Man Utd and Chelsea to win, I’m certain to win cash! Just wondered if they could draw?

Most bets are 90 mins only , although you can bet an outright winner but the odds will be considerably less.

On an evenly matched game like this one the draw would carry greater odds.


The question you have to ask yourself is why are our high streets awash with bookmakers & why are there loads of online book houses all just waiting to grab our hard earned ?

Makes sense! I usually throw in £20 a year into Paddy Power and play until I run out ... I’m actually up this year! I mainly bet on F1 for fun smile

Because they offer a fantastic public service? They engage with us to enhance our enjoyment of any event?

Or because they make gazillions out of people like me who feel I know better!!

I am going to have a tenner on Chelsea 3-1!

Edit.... odds are 25-1 for a Chelsea 3-1 win. That is good odds!!

0-0, it'll go to pens, and they have the better keeper. I'm going, anyone else on here got a ticket?

Hope to hell you're wrong, but with recent performances from both sides it could go that way. If we start with 2 in the middle we'll get overrun, if we go Cante-Cesc-Baka we might have chance, if the latter actually performs. I'd have Giroud starting with Hazard behind.

I predict that it will be a st game and that we will lose. I'm already preparing to alleviate the inevitable suffering with beer.

wrong - no double jeopardy (ie penalty and red) if genuine attempt to tackle

I have just seen the penalty decision. Genuine attempt to get the ball ? You really think so ? he was miles away.

How was the Young band ball not given ?

Not a great spectacle but to a man they were excellent today, Rudi thoroughly deserving of MOTM. Think we deserved the win as we had the one bit of quality to win the game. Need to do some work in the summer but it's always great to go into it with a trophy.
