FA Cup Semi-Final

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspurs


Indeed it is a very special day for me as a Chelsea fan to see my team made it through to the Final of FA cup. It is a very tough match between a resilient side such as spurs and to make it 5-1 on the day is even magnificent. A touch of class for the ever present Didier Drogba, a controversial goal from Juan Mata, a superb through pass to the feet of Ramires for the third goal, a sublime free kick from the legend Frank Lampard and an icing to the cake, a goal from Malouda on extra time.
The final in the new Wembly is schedule in May is very indeed a perfect venue and against a team like Liverpool, this could be as difficult as Barcelona this coming Thursday morning. But with a renewed confident and the old guns fired regularly at the moment, I don't expect anything less from chelsea. We will give our 120% of commitment and football this coming May and also the Champion League Semi-final at stanford bridge.
Lets recap the match againts spurs

>Van Der Vaart
A 36minutes header beautifully headed by Van der Vaart but Terry with that important save on the line with Cech stumble hopelessly. Three minutes later he also have a venomous shot which just pass Adebayor over the side post. Any contact from Adebayor means a goal for spurs.


Semi-final


>Didier Drogba (1-0)
A visionary pass from Lampard from chelsea half finds Drogba with Gallas hot on his tail. The ivorian stricker chested the ball beautifully and turns to the left of Gallas making a yard for him self before scoring into the top left corner of the goal with Cudicini least expected the shot with Drogba's left foot.


Semi-final


>Juan Mata (2-0)
A very controversial goal in my opinion. For me the ball didn't pass the line. A corner from lampard meet David Luiz's head. as Cudicini palms the ball away, it didn't travel much. Instead, John Terry manage to head to ball back to the goal which saves by Cudicini again. Terry muscle his way into 3 spurs defenders which he is entitle to win the ball, and for me there's no foul on the challenge.
There we a crowd of bodies on the line of the goal and miraculously, the ball rolls back to Mata which he side footed back into the goal. The ball hits Terry but some says the ball didn't actually cross the line and so do i. But the referee gave the goal to chelsea and we leads 2-0.

Semi_final

> Gareth Bale (2-1)
A splitting through pass from Parker to Adebayor before he is tackled down by Cech in the box but the ball rolled into Bale on the left and needing a simple tapping to make it 2-1m he didn't disappoint himself . Cech should be sent off but he's lucky. Really2 lucky.

>Ramires (3-1)
Forward ball pass from Mata converted with a little chip beating Cudicini. Subtle as you like. we leading 3-1 at the moment.

Semi-final

>Lampard
The best freekick of the tournament in my point of view. Lampard struck it from 30 yards out of the goal. The ball swerve and moving on the air before beating Cudicini on the left side of the goal

Semi-final
> Malouda (5-1)
The substitute coming on for Ramires didn't take long for his goal of the game. The winger strike late in the injury time to make it 5 for chelsea. Another lob pass from mata which is chested by Malouda then slotted it home underneath Cudicini legs to make it icing on a cake.

VIVA LA CHELSEA!!!! CAME ON LADS HAVE THIS SPIRIT VS BARCELONA!!!
