      Come on reds, not the most important trophy in the world but one we have great history in.

      We need more silver in the cabinet under Klopp and this is and opportunity, come on Liverpool!

      It's funny how Chelsea have spent so much dirty Russian Politics and Oil money on high profile forwards, but their best tactic is to set up a wall and try to counterattack. Tuchel knows if they come out and try to play football with us we will give them a hammering and just boat race them. I expect a lot of fouls and a low scoring game, but I'm betting on our Reds to make the vital breakthrough.

      For the final, will they go straight to penalties if the score is level after 90 minutes or would they play 30 extra minutes for this one?

      First 20 mins is all important as both teams suss each other out, I'm buzzing for this final, we've done the hard bit by getting to Wembley so let's get out there and win it !!!

      I think it will be a close encounter with the mighty redmen winning by the odd goal, I just hope it's a good game for all the fans travelling down wembley way and that everyone keeps safe and enjoys the day.

      Our record at Wembley since it got revamped isnt great, was fairly solid at the old Wembley, so no better team to get it going again at Wembley

      Think it would be a symbolising gesture if Chelsea wear their Blue kit with Blue socks and we wear our old all Yellow kit and instead of the pre-match line formed the Ukraine flag. Second half we could revert back to red.

      Shouldn't we refuse to play against a side who is owned by putins friend, and who is known to donate money to him? I don't know guys. I came here after watching a 7 year old on tele, loose her dad in a Russian attack. Chelsea are funded and owned by a guy who is close to and donates money to putin.

      I mean somebody needs to take the first step to put pressure on fa/government so they can force these rich Russians to cut ties with Putin. Maybe that will stop the madness. I am not sure but I feel dirty us playing against them.

      If I was a Chelsea fan, I would have cut ties with the club until Roman either condemns Putin or he sells the club.

      Very good point, it will feel awkward tomorrow for the Chelsea fans or club in general when everyone shows their support for Ukraine and whatever words anyone wants against Russia. This also may explain the timing of Roman Abramovich's actions. After all the same sort of source that is now funding the attack on Ukraine funded Chelsea's 16 years of success.

      Why should we back out of a great accomplishment because the owner of the other team keeps bad company?

      If the football world wants to enact higher standards over who can own a team or whatever, that's fine. But these players (and their support) have earned the opportunity to finish a great run here.  By rule this would be a forfeit for us and a Cup win for Chelsea. The only one who would get punished by us backing out of the game would be us.

      I'm thinking Jürgen goes with Konate.

      Getting the coach in an hour & will be straight on the cans. Can't wait 🍻

      Got a feeling we might do them by a decent margin today. Just think all of the Abramovich stuff which came out last night may throw them off a bit. We'll certainly be in a better frame of mind, we're in better form and we're probably much fitter and better prepared. Be gutted for Jota if he's unable to start and play a big part as he's contributed so much to this cup run and is yet to win a major trophy in his career (I don't even think he's played in a major final). That being said Diaz has shown in the last few matches that he's more than capable of occupying a place in the front three.

      Going to go 4-1 Liverpool. Up the reds!
