Ah well at least the Man United fans won't have very far to travel to get home.
Anyone know why Pogba wasn't playing tonight? Only the 3rd time I've seen United play live this season so wouldn't know much about them.
Pretty strong line up for the semi finals.

An Irish fan of a foreign soccer team there.

Chelsea fans singing "you're not special anymore " and " it's all your fault " to Mourinho. Dontcha love it? What a circus.

Does it come as a surprise to you that many people who attend soccer matches are idiots? There's plenty at Liverpool games too for example.

Five game ban for Rojo after this stamp last night?

Looks more deliberate than Mings imo.

Yep looks bad alright but I would suspect 3 games. Ming's was to the head so warranted the extra 2 games.

Rojo will get a 3 game ban, you'd have to be a bit simple to think thats worse than what Mings did.

The extra 2 games comes from having his appeal turned down no? If he had accepted the three games that would have been it.

Rojo was deliberately​ trying to stamp on him. Mings may or may not have been intentional. I believe it wasn't intentional.
Fair play to Hazard though for not retaliating with an elbow to Rojo's jaw.

He got the extra 2 games because of the severity of intentionally stamping on someone's head.

Doesn't have the balls to stand up for himself.

Hitting someone for fouling you isn't standing up for yourself. In fact it's often an act of cowardice.

It takes more courage to go out and play like Hazard does despite knowing he's going to get kicked for 90 minutes than it does to lash out when fouled.

From memory 93, 95, 99, 01, 10 and 12 I think, it's been a bad run considering Spurs had the most cup wins of all teams after winning the 1991 final.

In fairness now, Mourinho's been at Chelsea all season - He's designed it to get that reaction, part of Jose's tricks and party pieces.
