Yes, a 5-1 loss is never a nice result, regardless of who you're playing against, but it caps off a fantastic cup run for us.
We made it to the quarter finals, taking out 2 Premiership teams along the way, gained a healthy financial boost from TV revenue and we go back to the league on Saturday with a record of 4 wins in 5 games.
It was great to see that we gave Chelsea a good scare in the first half, but I suppose we could only keep them out for so long. Let's dust ourselves off, regroup over the next few days and give Boro a game to remember on Saturday.
Who knows, maybe we can have a similar run in the FA Cup.
Although looking at how my last post went down, you guys probably now think that I have the IQ of a sultana and will therefore disregard this as gibberish, so I'll just take my 1-star ratings and go back to the corner with the safety scissors and crayons.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Well that top team Bora went to Swansea last Wednesday and lost 1-0 in a hard fought game, yet managed a comfortable 2-0 win over Wolves at the Riverside. No reason we can't do the same and respond with a home win.

Meme,
Would you have called it a "silly cup" if we'd defied the odds and won it?

Nobody said we would win, they said we could win it.

P issed off because we lost and you've some r etard bragging because we got knocked out, a team he's meant to support

A win was never really on the cards but Leeds United acquitted themselves well in the first half. Basic error at the start of the 2nd generally put us on the back foot.
Not overly concerned, enough there to suggest we can build on current position but also enough to suggest that a new striker is not the only acquisition we should be making if and when any money becomes available.
Brown was walking a fine line throughout the match, don't think he adds much at all.

We gave a good account of ourselves in the first half, getting stung so early in the second did us in. Chelsea have so much class once they got going it could have been a cricket score. I admit I was dreaming of Wembley at half time...perhaps the players were too.
MOT!

Their class told in the end. There was a gulf between the two teams and let's not forget they only got back to the UK yesterday. No shame in holding the European champions and leading at half time then losing to superior opposition. I only hope the players are able to recover from the hiding in time to get points of 'boro.

1-0 is not 5-1 tho is it and I don't think we could win it from the start because there are better prem teams in it. A just hope teams was not watching becchio or young Sam because jan is not far away and a game like this may makes team look at them. And west brom watching Thomas... Jamie red nap ment to have said becchio can play in the prem (I said that long time ago) so who else does?
Liw Am not cocky or bragging about anything. Am amazed fans thiked we could beat cheski. So am not a fan for saying I think we will go out the cup to a better side but you are for wanting the manager sacked ABW in your name?
Why is it you and Jonty can say what you like but when I do I get filted, looked or abused? Even tho get loads right.

I didn't think we would beat them, but I thought we could.
Bradford proved its possible
Don't think anyone watching Bryam tonight will think wow, what a prospect.
Thought becchio had a good game, but his lack of pace will put loads off.

Its as simple as, Chelsea have world class players, we have players that want to be world class,(one or two were but hey, some Chelsea players will get in that boat one day!)..
meme, its the same as putting the Russian army against the minnows of Luxembourg and saying the Russians have no chance, maybe the minnows could do some damage but they'd never win!..
You always come back and say this that and whatever against the cup, I'll always come back and say you try stopping the players playing them games, they want it the same as you would if you were in their shoes!..
The same as none league teams would have loved to play us last night!..
