“It’s like a nightmare, isn’t it? It just keeps getting worse and worse.”

Unleash Estêvão 🧐

Getting full value tonight. Watching the players respect a few balls as they warm up!
Come On Chelsea 🙏

That was a bit shit wasn't it!

Come On Chelsea
👊💙

The art of falling apart 😭

The horror, the horror

Enzzzzzzzzzzzo 👏⚽

Gulp🫣

Malo Gusto Gusto Gusto 👏⚽

Gulp 🫣

Decent starting XI
All we can do now is pray 🙏

🤣🤣🤣

Let's be honest, Chelsea making progress in various cup competitions down the years has always been steeped in drama and tonight was no different. In the final, meaningless media analysis, the result is all that matters.
No Hollywood ending!
Victory for the Blues!
And relax 💙

João Pedro again Olé Olé 👏💙👍

I'm glad Garnacho understands the magic of the cup.🏆⚽💙

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya

On paper, this looks like a team that should be able to cope with lower league opposition but it's the FA Cup and it's Phil Parkinson and he's got previous form for undoing Chelsea.
Hopefully no repeat today.🤞
Come On Chelsea 👏💙

Nice way for Chelsea to get back in the winning groove.
Four goals scored.
No red cards.
No goals conceded from set-pieces.
João Pedro terrific.
Quality team performance, huddle huddle, huddle.
Pleased for Liam Rosenior - he needed a big result and got one.
👏👏👏

João Pedro again Olé Olé ⚽⚽⚽
Proper striker innit

Palmer again Olé Olé 👏👏👏

It's like a kick-and-rush game in a school playground.
VAR and the ref are going to have another big say in the second-half I reckon.
🤞Chelsea get the calls and maybe another goal early on.
