Chelsea beat Leeds 1-0, reach FA Cup final vs Manchester City
Enzo Fernández headed the only goal as Chelsea beat Leeds United 1-0 at Wembley on April 26 to reach the Emirates FA Cup final. Chelsea will face Manchester City at Wembley on May 16 for the final. The win provided a timely boost after a rocky run of results and keeps the Blues in contention for major domestic silverware this season.
Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.
Euphoric Mess82The most highly charged fa cup final of all time.
David Marshall18And yet we, The Arsenal are the bad boys.
Lev Parikian17The kind of game you want them both to lose
Matthew Perren16Why don’t we just not play the game and just give the cup to the club that’s spent most on their team. And if you want a match show Leeds vs Southampton instead. It’ll be more interesting.
Simon14I have no interest in watching that game. It will be like watching a fight between the main two school bullies
Lindsey7The moral of the story is that "cheaters never win" is, once again, proving to be a lie.
Tom Davies5I love how accurate denunciations of Man City and Chelsea always spark a frenzy of irrelevant whatabouttery rooted in invariably false assumptions that their only denouncers are embittered supporters of their Big Six title rivals
@PappyFitz4And if it were United or Liverpool (who spend just as much), you’d be fine with it. 🙄
dnpma.bsky.social4+ if and when this iteration of Arsenal win anything it will be massively tainted* with them knowingly accepting a rapist in their midst (* for me anyway)
Mark3So true. Arsenal haven't won the league since 2004 but there's been a shit ton of financial irregularity going on since then
fplhelp.bsky.social2The worst thing about this final is that it makes the neutral supporter and supporter of other clubs feel absolutely nothing. There's no team to root for, no feeling when something happens and in reality, we already know the winner will be the team who are better at breaking the rules. Blue moon meh
gooneroz47.bsky.social2Beautifully put. It used to be a sport.
barry novibes2i don't think any club should be allowed to break the rules, or spend billions, or be used for political purposes, but at the same time i don't think it's whataboutery to never shy away from reminding people that we got to the point of all this because of the insatiable greed of five football clubs.
Matthew Hirtes2At least they don't bore supporters like Arsenal (regressing to the Graham years) do, Philippe. Although today's semi was only marginally more entertaining than yesterday's flaccid encounter between Wolves and Spurs.
