..Congrats to Chelsea, the FA and Carling Cup in the same season matches Liverpool back in 2001. Hard lines United but you didn't want it enough.

Overall thoughts are that the game was a bust. I was hoping for blood and thunder but got a damp squib. For those of you paying $25 sorry but look on the bright side - the Champions League is free!

So that's the season done in England, see you all Weds for the big game and hopefully more excitement than this boring 120 minutes.

With the world watching or snoozing depending on what you call entertainment the two best teams in England are content to play cat-and-mouse.

Chelsea have been the better team but can't really carve out any decent chances while United have been awful when you consider the football they've played this season. Fergie must give Rooney some help and get Ronaldo the ball or and I hate to say this...it'll stay scoreless and we'll go to PK's...I'm think I'll puke if that happens.

..I expect disciplined, efficient football from the Blues but United have been drab. No spark, invention and they look content to play this way. I thought Fergie said they'd play attacking football...the Scotsman was fibbing, big time! This has been one of their most uninspiring performances I've seen from them this year. What a way to open Wembley!

..by Chelsea as Lamps tests van der Sar with a low grubber. United need to get support for Rooney - he looks very lonely up top. SWP then blazes over. The Blues though look more in control at this point of the game half-an-hour in.

..at last. First Ronaldo goes on a jinking run scaring the pants off Ferreira and then Joe Cole shows that he can do it better before linking with Drogba who shoots narrowly wide. That's better cos it's been a snoozer so far.

..15 minutes in and other than J Cole tatooing Browns shin and one little skirmish in midfield, nothing much is happening as Chelseaare content to keep possession at the back.
