The Budweiser FA Cup

[therockbox]

Yeah, for winning the League Cup.

[Lineker]

Oh, of course. So then the Europa League spot for winning the FA Cup would go to the league positions?

[Nerf]

Glad Carragher, apparently, isn't starting. No Maxi still? Probably wise to bench Carroll, gives him the opportunity to come on and potentially be a hero without fucking up the rest of the game for us.

[Hobo]

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Spearing, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Bellamy, Suarez

Apparently the Liverpool team.

Hmm, if so, that is pretty close to a best team on paper. Enrique and Bellamy are a bit off recently. There is a bit of pace in it.

[DavidMarrio]

Right on line with the corner flag in the 11th row!!; free plastic flags as well I can understand the free flags for Chelsea fans but for is we've got plenty of our own as it is

[stokeriño]

And where did you steal those from?

Glad Carragher, apparently, isn't starting. No Maxi still? Probably wise to bench Carroll, gives him the opportunity to come on and potentially be a hero without fucking up the rest of the game for us.

Maxi played against Fulham. That was a sign he wasnt going to start today.

[Nerf]

Didn't see that match. It just seems ridiculous that he's still overlooked after proving himself time and again. It's not like he is a young lad who will grow into a key player, we need to get the most out of him now.

Icon vs. Legend discussion, literally, on ITV

[Gazz]

Are they trying a new tie breaker for extra time where there's two goals in this game or something?

EXTRA TIME MULTIGOAL!

[Lineker]

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Drogba, Mata.

Subs: Turnbull, Essien, Torres, Malouda, Meireles, Ferreira, Sturridge.

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Jose Enrique, Spearing, Henderson, Downing, Gerrard, Bellamy, Suarez.

Subs: Doni, Carroll, Maxi, Kuyt, Carragher, Shelvey, Kelly.

Referee: Phil Dowd (Staffordshire)

The Wembley benches will be occupied by some pretty expensive talent today as £85m worth of attacking talent sits it out in the shape fo Chelsea's Fernando Torres and Liverpool's Andy Carroll. Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo has understandably plumped for the power - and love of Wembley - ahead for former Liverpool striker Torres. Dalglish has gone for the pace and mobility of Craig Bellamy with Steven Gerrard in support of Luis Suarez.

[Matt]

DiMatteo deserves a trophy for what he's done but I don't want Chelsea to win the Champions League, so come on Chelsea.

Plus I really don't like Dalglish.

[Lineker]

Phil Dowd isn't the skinniest of refs, is he.

[Lineker]

Also what was with the booing of the national anthem? Supposedly more from the Liverpool end...

[Matt]

Liverpool fans, noted antimonarchists.

[Lineker]

1-0; Ramires.

[MJB]

Poor from Reina.

[Matt]

Ramires

[Summers]

RAMIRES.

Next Terry, I hope.

Oh, horrible keeping.

Game. Set. Match.

Closer to avoiding the worst case scenario.
