Who would you rather face in the final?

[cyan]

I'll just put my head on the pillow for a while. Note to self: check the facts first.

to be fair - I only knew because I'd wondered when Chelsea were last in a final, looked it up and was surprised by these three totally forgettable finals.

City have already been allocated the West end

What pubs is that? Hoping it's the spoons again

Leeds would have been difficult for us.
They've got Burnley next Friday at home and a win makes them virtually safe.
There would have been a party atmosphere and then two weeks to relax and rest key players before the final.
And their tactics would have been park the bus and break on us.
Chelsea meanwhile will want to qualify for Europa via their league place ( rather than rely on the cup) and will probably have a rearranged mid week game ( Spurs) like us (Bournemouth).
None of this pre Cup pressure would have applied to Leeds.
So that's my 'over analysis' so that I can remain confident in the build up .

Happier with Chelsea.

On the other hand, you'll struggle to find a team who lost 3 FA Cup finals in consecutive years. That evens it up a bit.

Chelsea have lost their last 6 finals

Imagine getting to your first semi in 40 odd years and not laying a glove on your opponents. Absolute shite

Their famous fans were shite too.

Didn't stop the TNT Sports fist fest.

Twirling free scarfs en-masse does not mean getting behind the Leeds team.

Really! History is clearly not my subject.
Sort of ramps up the probability that they will break that sequence at some point.

Only if you pick and chose competitions, they have done okay in the Uefa and Fifa finals. We should know eh?

 

[hateutd]

Chelsea have lost their last 6 finals

And we lost last two

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]
