Cheers D- I can't really be disappointed after such a great season. I guess the difference in class was bound to tell, especially towards the end of the game, but at least we are safe and can plan for next season.

Yes - Man City thrashed us at their place as well.

They're the only team that has - we've had a great season overall - and can only improve with all the young players he's bringing in.

The funny thing is. My work colleague who sits opposite me is a Norwich supporter (st holder). Our GM is a Man City fan (armchair). Man City fan said that they were due to thrash someone soon. Norwich supporter said it wouldn't be them as no one had thrashed them this season....

Not going to happen. In my Mystic Meg mode, I predict.....another year will go by and London will remain a European Cup-free zone.

It's going to get Messi.

Probably. Regardless though, it's a remarkable achievement by Chelsea, considering all their well-publicised problems this season.

It's a truly remarkable achievement by their well-liked manager Roberto Di Matteo. All the other English teams showed how ordinary our league has become now (so ordinary, my team treat it with disdain and don't even bother trying anymore!) by taking an early exit but Chelsea are 1-0 up at the half-way stage of the semi-final! It's Chelsea who are holding England's end up! Good luck to them but that is a hostile environment in which to try and emerge the victor.

It's not so much about class at this end of the season, but the strength of the squads. Teams like Man City can rest players to keep them fresh to the end whereas the likes of Norwich need to be constantly at full strength just to survive.

And 6-0 to West Ham, we might make the automatic promotion places yet!

SJ, I went to the Bristol City game, and watched the Leicester game last night on TV. You wouldn't think it was the same team! We were dreadful against Bristol, all bar the first 25 minutes, whereas I thought we were pretty slick last night, and better finishing would have made the scoreline reflect our dominance.

Can't see Coventry doing us a favour though.

Coventry are relegated which often has the effect of lifting the tension a team's been under all season and get's them playing well, and Southampton will be feeling the pressure as they looked certs for automatic promotion all season. We can but hope!

Well this is a SCINTILLATING game! It's got EVERYthing. Personally, I can't see Terry surviving that. He has let his team, his manager, his travelling fans and his future earnings down very badly by showing just what a bully-boy thug he is. I'd fire him if I were Di Matteo. He should at least strip him of his captaincy.

This is tense, even worse trying to follow it on the web. My 9yr old Chelsea crazy son was in tears when the 2nd goal went in and jumping for joy when Ramires scored.

I really hope they can hold on. JT silly boy by all accounts.
