The 2015 Capital One Cup Final - set to be a classic

I got my cup final tickets yesterday via Royal Mail special delivery and like a spoiled small kid I'm bloody excited. It's all set to be the best League Cup final in years and a real good opportunity for us to get vengeance over the Spuds for that 5-3 away defeat and for the loss in our last cup final meeting with them in 2008.

 

Well done, I will be watching from Thailand as I'm off to see an old mate. No doubt we will find a suitable bar to watch it in a Chelsea shirt of course.

Enjoy Siam. Chels and the Spuds have been given just less than 32,000 tickets each. With Wembley holding around 90,000 fans, where are the remaining 26,000+ seats going ?????!!!!!!

 

Players, clubs, affiliates, cronies, Pony club, WI & Harry Redknapp enterprises

 

What's her name Ossie,??
You might be surprised by how many Chelsea shirts you see, the Club have done a great job in that part of the world.
Have a Singha or three for me !

 

Robby202 who used to post on here, known him from way back on the BBC 606. We worked together for a while but he has retired over there so I'm going to spend a month with him at his gaff. But I'll certainly have a beer for you in celebration

 

Sounds great, I remember Robby from BBC 606. Have a great time, and hope we win .

 

Cheers mate, flying out on Tuesday night weathers 35C at the moment but will spend the first night in Bangkok to acclimatise

 

You surely remember him from here, he was one of your most active posters until the summer. His last act was to put himself forward as mod - as leaving the site is generally what happens to Chelsea mods.

I said mods, not staff members

 

backtrack

 

Thank god they did appoint another mod though, if this forum had been modless in the last few days it would have been ****ing chaos.

Feel like I need a vacation after all that

 

Apparently there's still seats to Thailand available, and Ossies' in the chair !!!!
You did a good job with the Paris thing, it was an open go for anyone with a set against Chelsea. Nice to see the vast majority were supportive though.

 

Matic out for this - Massive miss!

 

.....at last on this thread, someone writing about the upcoming showpiece Wembley final !!!!!!!

Matic's red card and 3 match ban may be rescinded given the nasty studs in tackle from the Burnley player that led to his reaction. The Spuds also have a Thursday evening European game so Chelsea will be the fresher team on Sunday.

i just hope we do not go one up in the first 15

 

......I just hope we don't get that bloody Burnley loving Ref from Saturday. From high up in the East Stand it was obvious that the push on Costa was a stone wall penalty, I didn't exactly see what happened to Matic until late evening on BBC Match of the Day. Surely, Matic wont get a 3 match ban for his well understandable reaction ??????!!!!!!

I watched the Spuds v West Ham game on BT Sport today. The Spuds did very well to recover from being 0-2 down but the Ref played enough extra time for the Spuds to equalize. Unlucky West Ham but they did invite the pressure from the Spuds in the last 30 odd minutes. Chels v Spuds on Saturday will surely be a classic encounter with all out attacking football.

 

Nervous but excited already. In 2008 Tottenham had a pretty decent side, losing to this Tottenham side would not only be a disaster but one of the darkest days in the history of the club IMO.

I think we'll win, we've more quality, more experience and should handle the occasion better.

 

In my opinion, historically the darkest day for the club has to be the Spuds actually winning an FA Cup final at Stamford Bridge in 1921 when they beat Wolves - they really rubbed our Grandads' noses in it on that day. This closely followed by the Spuds beating us in the FA Cup final at Old Wembley in 1967.
