A few decisions have gone that way since the Jewell incident at Arsenal but I'd only get called out if I made that an excuse

they just haven't tried enough, I do think their better than at least Watford, Charlton, Man City, Middlesbrough, Fulham and Sheff Utd but they just don't put the effort in or at least some players don't.

Instead of the 2000 FA Cup final they are showing Arsenal v Chelsea back when Arsenal had all those French stars and Adams last year at Arsenal. Dont know what year it is and dont want to look because I dont want to see the score.

Was it a good match? Nice to see David Semen and Denis Bergkamp again.

I can't remember to be honest.

Not that that means it was necessarily a bad match. It just means I've not good a very good memory.

I liked it better when it was a double post.

I liked Chelsea better when they were a regular and over-acheiving club.

Graham LeSaux a very dirty challenge and a card in the first minutes.

To be honest I've never liked any of the Millennium finals even the Liverpool v West Ham game although a good one I just couldn't get into it, bit like the Super Bowls I enjoy watching the outside ones rather than the indoor ones no matter what the score.

bababui · 05-05-2007, 06:16 PM

And for all the hundreds of millions spent, are Chelsea any better now then they were on May 4, 2002?

LeSaux came in for alot of stick during his career simply because he liked art and is a pretty inteligent person, so he got the gay label attached to him because he was different.

Couple of titles would say so but they'd probably be top 6 at least without Jose and the money, more than likely scrapping for 3rd and 4th with Arsenal this season.

This is one, and maybe the only, reason I like coming to the game late. I dont have these prejudices that I share with you from the sports I grew up with. But I am really excited to be able to see this match with two great teams and all the great platers..some no longer playing.

Interesting..the announcers are saying that his dirty play will likely keep him out of the England team going into WC 2002...even though he is Englands best left side player.

Hopefully the new Wembley will have the same atmosphere of the old Wembley, horrible stadium but the atmosphere was great. Fortunate to have seen Football finals, England games, Rugby finals, NFL games and concerts there and atmospehere was always top notch.

Who was the first team to go undefeated at home in Englands top league?

No cheating!!!

Suprising that Cudicini never left Chelsea..seems he could have been a star somewhere else.
