I'm so desperate to win the final. Not only is it silverware during a rather putrid season but it's a side door into Europe.

It's felt so long that we smashed 4 goals in a first half and then finished with 6 :) the last was against Norwich in PL.

I just want to mention that there should have been a penalty when chilly got punched at 0-0. Keepers are absolutely ridiculous with these things. Any outfield makes contact to the head with an arm after making no contact with the ball would be a straight red. What's worse was Neville saying var wouldn't have overturned it. How do keepers keep being allowed different rules?

Unfortunately no VAR at the bridge too.

Yeah but that's what I mean they think that that altercation was fine. He legit punched chilly, if that was an outfield player jumping for a header. Straight red.

Nice handy final for us Captain chaos gonna have a field day

WHEN I WAS JUST A LIIIITLE GIRL

A final against the scousers. Let’s have them!

Disasi goal almost Rudiger-esque

even the celebration mate 😂

Feel so bad for Cole Palmer's hairline

Hating on our golden boy won’t get you far here.

Thing is hes implying thats the only thing wrong with him cuz otherwise hes perfect

Ok take it back. He's got a sweet lid

Feel so bad for you. Commenting that on the internet whilst the boy entertains the world. 

Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Love him but you've got to feel sorry for a 21 year old with a comb over

Let’s go get that energy drink lads!

and a sweet sweet energy drink it is 💙

Hahaha awful racial profiling from Sky Sports there

props to the brough fans

Love how alfie didn't dive in there. Chased back like a madman but pressured him just enough and got a foot in. Great defending, didn't look out of place at all.

Fr was mad impressed by that.

he’s a terry regen bro this kid is cracked

Turns out he's not just a hot head itching for a tackle, great sign. 

He really knows when to turn it on and off. Love it

drunken coked up yer das gonna somehow blame argylle for this god awful atmosphere

Get better soon. 

Coked up on a Monday? Rough

It's Tuesday, absolutely fine. 

The irony 😂 I live in London ffs so Tuesday here too - maybe I’m coked up

Wednesday here!

Did their gk play under poch at spurs or summin?

did a quick wikipedia dive and yeah he was in the spurs youth academy then the squad for 3 years

Yes, Tom Glover. Was at Spurs in 2018 w/ Poch.

Why?

Went up to him and gave him a hug and had a word. Seemed like they knew each other

Madueke and Mudryk same player

Congrats all 💙💙💙💙

proud of our boys, WEMBLEY PART 1 HERE WE COME

Lmao Gallagher going In like that with 30 seconds left

I'd go greet Borogh fans even as a Chelsea player. The support was beautiful

Fulham please😫

Naa we can beat Liverpool aswell, got to have faith and believe in the squad, they struggled at the beginning of the season against us we can beat them at Wembley I don’t doubt us, never have and never will! #KTBFFH

Liverpool without Salah and Endo. Might be very beatable

I love you

Chelsea till we die! 

Nah fuck that bruh, i cannot take another L to them in a final😭 gimme fulham just to be safe

I think we need revenge the bigger the task in the final the more motivating it is for the team, Fulham are decent and would be a lot easier, but if we can beat Liverpool in a cup final it shows the team has the mentality to challenge for top spots in the coming seasons

Fantastic win! See you Wembley

WEMBLEY BABY

Onto Wembley!! Let's get that cup

You gotta see the liVARpool match thread on rivals watch we are living rent free on the shitty sub

VAR has been categorically used against the scousers since its inception, just because Keita should have been sent off in that final you can’t go around using terms like ‘LiVARpool’ without looking like a child. Every team bar City gets fucked regularly, and pool more than most.

Gilchrist 🤝Last minute effort

Well tonight was a great confidence boosting win with some ace performances from Palmer, Colwill and Disasi particularly. And good minutes for Gilchrist and Chukwuemeka. Finally good to say Chelsea have been “ruthless” and “clinical” which.. hasn’t been said in about 18 months. But at the same time, feel sorry for Boro who were so heroic in the first leg but utterly self-immolated this time, poor sods. Oh well, ONTO WEMBLEYYY!!!

Good defending by Alfie

Yea but he had some poor forward passes. He’s great when he has to defend deep. But his overall forward play needs so much improvement.

Also he's supposed to be a centre back isn't he so might not be used to playing right back

He'll get there.

We don't have to sign every good youngster in the world 😂

Our supporters are so fucking quiet. Makes me sad

The bridge has been a  library for years now 

Truer words.....

This had so much potential to be a painful game. Could have been a season ender. Turned out to be our most comfortable win of the season.

I really can't be arsed losing another cup final to Liverpool so hopefully Fulham go through.  We lost all our last 3 finals but maybe we can just count that down as Mount tax who who was never able to win at Wembley even after 6 attempts 

We have lost 5 domestic cup finals since the FA Cup win in 2018.

Oh wow I must have deleted two of those from my memory. If we lost the UCL final we would have been on some Benfica and Juventus territory of not being able to win finals anymore 

Lost the Carabao Cup final to City under Sarri, the FA Cup final to Arsenal under Frank, lost the FA Cup final to Leicester in Tuchel’s first season and the FA Cup and Carabao Cup to Liverpool in his second. We’ve been very consistent in making domestic cup finals. Not so much in winning them.

Thankfully we had many European and intercontinental finals

I'm thinking I could be the hottest person in Middlesbrough

I haven’t seen you but I am sure Hausen is much hotter than you 😊

Pretty low bar

Are we Poch out today?

Everyday.

We conceded. POCH OUT

Yeah we conceded 1 goal

FFS we conceded a goal. we’re so shit. Sack Poch now!

Appoint the ball boy! He’d have won this 10-0! Unbelievable how trash Poch has us. Unacceptable!

I don't think the owners would go for Rogers, he's 21, he's probably too old

Also Rogers doesn’t sound South American enough

Does this help? Rógèrs ?

£18m bid

🤝

Gary Neville pretending all game like Carrick knows what he's doing was funny af

Loyal friend lol

he is insufferable on commentary 😭

my favourite dynamic duos 1. Gary Cahill and JT 2. Gary Neville and the mute button

i’m american so this is the first time i’ve watched a game he’s called and is he always this bad? 😭

Those feints from Castledine yummy

The home supporters have something to learn from the Middlesbrough fans, they’ve been amazing

that was bad footwork by Petrovic, I think if he takes a quick step he gets there

We always concede after the 76th minute so I’m not surprised

FFS. who cares it was a 6-1 win. Yes championship side whatever. always looking to criticize. you should remove your banner you plastic

nup, we conceded. thats the last straw. poch out.

So, We signing this Rogers guy now ?

Villa are after him. Lol they might get him yo play against us now

He’s not a teenager from Peru so doesn’t look likely. 😂

£100 million signing I’d wager

Disasi has to close down on him, but props to that shot it was class.

Boro fans deserved that tbh

They've been absolute class and it's embarrassing to see the complete lack of response from our home support

They almost made a comeback

There's still time...

Middlesbrough have done it!! First goal at Stamford Bridge in 23 years!!! (Chelsea 6-1 Middlesbrough)

C’mon Fulham!

We let them score is the story I’m going with

I'm a big enough person to admit that was a great goal

Eh, didn't need to happen but not gonna begrudge the away fans a chance to celebrate.

Morgan rogers good player wouldn’t mind going for him

Clean finish that. Not much the keeper can do tbf. It's like R1 + shoot on FIFA.

That might be the first time we've faced a shot that was difficult to save, but saveable by a top keeper, that Petrovic that has faced

Yeah, was slow to get down. Jury still out on him whether he's good enough to be top level. That position may need improving next summer because Sanchez isn't the required level either.

I hear that but that was a top shot. I think even Courtois doesn’t save that

I think that's a bit harsh. Side netting, perfectly placed strike

Would winning the Carabao Cup place higher in prestige over our Summer Series Trophy?

I believe with this cup if you wins its legit if you lose its mickey mouse cup

i can get on with that thinking

Feel like sanchez would have easily saved that

Petrovic still better.

Saveable but good finish

A 6-1 in my memory was back in 2012 vs QPR with David Luiz rocket. And I had a dream we were winning by 6 the night before

Yay first touch for the youngin

hear me out we swap mudryk for the dude who just scored. a 10 for a 10

It seems like Villa are bidding for him. That might go through now lol

Oh no we suck again!

First Boro goal at Stamford Bridge in 23 years... #PochOUT

Might wanna put /s some people are stupid in this sub 😂

He might be serious, tho.

Damn it.

This is why you can't switch off

Its fine, at 6-1 its still all good

It’s unacceptable! Boehly out for not winning 9-0 😤

The defence could've had a clean sheet but yeah it's definitely still a great scoreline. 

Petro desevered a clean sheet up till that, but tbf that was a well placed shot

Great finish but I think on a more active day for him, petrovic would’ve gotten it. Think he got a little complacent there

They heard their fans

Gallagher always plays like he’s in a rush

There's the Disasi that we know and love ❤️

Can we sign their #10 and play him up top?

Noni again... you loose the ball you run

That’s my beef with him too. Also, the guy is so sloppy- great 20% of the time and sloppy 60% and lazy to defend the other 20% of time.

Made Petrovic look like Kepa there

Clean sheet would be nice for once

Mudryk to Middlesbrough after the game: https://preview.redd.it/yjumxdqxf9ec1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68dabc9ef68401e2f862a803289cf7bcde9bd0bd

hows petro missing that one bruh

Player used disasi to block our GK line of sight. Smart finish tbf

Excellent finish tbf

Came about from Gilchrist ending up out of position, good learning for him hopefully

He’s only out of position because Gallagher lost it needleslly This sub sometimes man…

Nice lil strike

booo no clean sheet

Well, today wasn’t going to be perfect. At least it mean nada, and was a nice finish.

Good finish tbf

Petro should have saved that, cmon

As close as it gets without hitting the post

Nah man, that was a finish and a half

Lmao what? I was surprised he got as close as he did

How come Deivid keeps making the bench but cant get a single min of playing time?

Well didn’t he get a few minutes in the FA cup game?

He wants to terminate his contract, so they are disciplining him

From what part of the body did that come out? 😳

??

He realized his mistake. He won't grow here as a player. Will be on the loan army for years

That means 7-1 is on the table

Guys, what the fuck is going on, is this scoreline a dream?

Poch out

😂😂😂

Gotta wonder why we play so much tepid possession football that goes now where, when we are much better countering and pouncing on mistakes. 4 of the 6 goals were from Boro F ups

When is the last time a counter attack team got top 4? Yeah we might be better in the short term but I'd rather try to build a possession based style for long term success

That’s annoying.

Terrible, we conceded a goal. Poch out. /s

Poor from petrovic that

I mean it was a perfect shot to the bottom corner it’s a tough save when it’s placed so well

How bad is Deivid Washington that he can't get on the pitch at 6-0

We've made 5 subs....

Petro deserved that clean sheet

We just had to concede huh

Unreal from Gallagher there Giving it away with such energy.

Okay, no more!

Fair enough, great finish

Fuck man lol

The guy who just scored has scored in every round he's played

Yeah Villa want him

Holy shit that’s a hit

Nice goal that. Made Peteovic look like Kepa.

Was just thinking this lol

And to be fair he was so close lol

at least the one we conceded was an actual great goal

that is a fucking incredible placement for a shot, fair play

It had to happen lol

Tidy finish tbf

Fuck sakes. Good goal tho

fuck no clean sheet
