I just hope that next season sees Chelsea having to work for points instead of just putting their hands in their pockets
BTW if Man Utd were so much more superior.... why did they fail to score in 123 mins of open play and eventually lose on penalties to a lesser team?
As I said above Man U Buccaneers.

Also says it all really they could not put the ball in the back of the net legally in 123mins of open play but eventually lost to a team that could put penalties away and a goal keeper who could save one.

Agreed

But as you say, Arse won the cup. But it's not as if they played or even looked like winners.

edit: taken from the BBC's report:
Yep United were all over us and bad finishing from your so called top class strikers were to blame but on the flip side top goal keeping and resilience kept us in it.

Because prior to kick off both teams agreed the roof would remain open.

See above.

But it will happen if as soon your team up north becomes successful team and becomes a viable business option.
