Yo Soccer fans

Chelsea and Everton will be meeting each other on 30th May to decide who is the FA cup holders.

Everton booked the tickets to final after ex-Man Utd player Howard saves two penalties from berbatov and ferdinand. I heard that Man Utd puts a lot of youngster in this semi-final cup tie and also need to congratz Everton ..

Arsenal on the other hand had lost the chance of getting to FA Cup final after a 2-1 lost. Arsenal did put up a strong line-up..Walcott, Adebayor and Van Persie all in the starting line-up. I feel that Arsenal did not play really well in this game. They didn't pass that fluently n did not have many chances to threaten P.Cech. One of the factors why Arsenal had lost is because their midfield can't match with Chelsea. Chelsea have Lampard, Essien and Ballack controlling the middle and they are all world-class midfielder and if you see Arsenal midfielder, Fabregas, Denlison, Diaby..Arsenal are lost out in terms of whether Experiences or Skills. Fabregas is carefully marked therefore he didn't really that much threat. Adebayor alone had to face two big defenders, Alex and Terry and Adebayor was poor in this match. There is only Walcott and Van Persie threatening the full-backs, esp Walcott whose speed is really threatening Ashely Cole.

Arsenal got the lead through Walcott.. nice cross by gibbs and walcott's shot deflect off Cole and goes into the net. Chelsea on the other hand scores just before the break, Malouda shoot from penalty box scores for Chelsea. This goal could have been prevented if Fabanski can be more alert because this shot has no strength. Fabanski was poor in that match, the 2 goals that Arsenal conceded was mainly his fault. Drogba scores again for Chelsea 6 minutes from stoppage times to give Chelsea a place in the FA Cup final.


Liverpool will be taking on Arsenal on Tue morning, if Arsenal win, they will successfully secured the place for 4th spot IMO. If Liverpool win, they will still had chances of overtaking Man Utd. So important match for both clubs...Arsenal will be in disadvantage because they had gone through a tough battle at weekend while Liverpool have no match at weekend.
