1-1 now, Bluenose will be happy.

Is it me or does this game seem fixed to anyone else?

Everton have practically let Chelsea do what they like around the penalty area for the last 15mins, even though Chelsea have 10 men.

Smells fishy!

OG in the 90th minute. Did I read that right? Oh man.

Yes 2-1 for Chelsea.

I have a feeling Bluenose might have killed himself. And it was Lescott of all people. Gotta go find the highlights.

It's not a bad result if there are two legs.

Thanks mate... You've brought a big smile on my face with that one.

It could of been a lot worse and ive said in another thread somewhere if we dd get beat I'd be happy with 2 - 1 as I already have my ticket for the second leg. Imagine if we would of got beat 3 - 0 it would be a waste of time going...

Chelsea deserved their win and I can't complain too much but what a belter from the yak eh.

Not a terrible result, but the way it happened. Chelsea down to 10 men, and then an OG in the 90th minute of all minutes, and Lescott of all people. The stars were all aligned tonight against Everton.

Yeah, he had such a good game too... Had little Joe cole in his back pocket.


How on earth did McFaddens shot stay out? Was it the wind?

Oh you're alive. Good to see you're still here.

I'm sure you're the only one on here.

I really think that Lescott was impeded by SWP with that own goal. How was he supposed to move with him on his back. Fair enough if SWP scored it, or at least got a touch on it, but he was a few inches off and he really just pushed Lescott onto the ball. Bah.

I went to the game yesterday night and Chelsea play in a weird formation :
it-s like a 4-1-4-1 but the width is provided mainly by the full backs which means congestion in the central area. what surprised me is the number of balls touched by Mikel
Ballack should be getting a lot of it but no he stays so high on the picth he was like a second striker sometimes. Ballack is a class player but he does not accelarate z
a lot and must run like 8 kilometers maximum

A qucik word about the ref : very consistent with fouls and card excpet for 15 mins after the red card who was clearly justified where he totally lost the control of the players and became lenient.

Lovely finish from Yakubu last night, not sure what the keeper was up to though just previous to that great strike.

bad luck fr Everton thats all i can say and can only hope that Chelsea dont make it to the final

What was surprising is after the red card Chelsea play totally disintegrated they could not do 3 passes in a row and Everton did not have a go

Here is the Arsenal reserves and youth side
