Uh oh! Chelsea better score!

They're stuffed now.

Ha! Or not. Great finish.

Great Chelsea goal

As an Arsenal fan, I so so so so SO want Barca to win this. I'd rather Spurs or Newcastle qualified for Champions League next season than Chelsea.

As a Newcastle fan, I agree (although I don't think we'll finish fourth anyway). But I don't mind seeing Chelsea win tonight if they lose in the final. :D

Blimey.

Bugger.

Mourhino will get there now surely

Not a Chelsea fan by any means but I did find all that highly amusing. Football lost tonight but as a spectacle that was quite something.

Football lost tonight...

No, that's Barcelona you're thinking of.

Brilliant match - heroic effort.

Glad to see an English team through to the final. Take that, Messi!

This final will be the seventh of the last eight to feature at least one English team.

And they were saying earlier in the season that the English dominance of Europe was over. Mind you, it's not exactly the days where we had three English teams in the semis.

The last time English teams dominated like this was between '75 and '85, when 9 out of 11 finals featured English teams.

From the BBC live text commentary . . . .

Someone Tweeted in . . 'Sensational composure from Torres. Makes me proud to be English'

Probably the stupidest utterance from a football fan, ever.
