You must not have watched the 2005 Final. Or the 2008 Final. And although it had goals, the 2006 Final was extremly low in quality. 2000 wasn't all that bad.

I was too young to follow football then as I was only 5 in 1997. But I remember 2000, that was the first cup final I watched.

I think we'd have won it if we'd beaten BArcelona. RM were poor that season, they'd finished 5th in La Liga, 3 positions behind Barcelona and were very lucky to end up as CL winner. Valencia were major CL chokers and only went far due to a lucky draw.

And don't forget the joke that was 2019. How can a team get so lucky that they get to play Tottenham Hotspur in a CL Final? What next? Cyrstal Palace in the CL Final? Middlesbrough?

Was he heck, he was overrated and lucky with few hit and hope shots that happend to fly in. He had no skill, tactical knowlegde or positioning and would charge about like a bull in a china shop flying into people. People only rate him because he looked good in a very poor Liverpool side. Put him in the Chelsea squad from 2005-2008 and he probably doesn't even make the first team.

I think we'll smash these, I wasn't at all in impressed with Leeds SF win over Man United, they got lucky with the deflected goal while we smashed Watford 5-1. Easy win for Chelsea, Osgood hat trick.

Yes a momentous match for both Chelsea and Arsenal. Since that day Chelsea have always been better than Arsenal and we have been the favourites to beat them. It signalled Chelsea's emergence as London's most dominant club and Arsenal's decline.

That one was a joke, there was a foul in the build up with one player pushed to the ground, Eidur new this and was expecting a penalty but the referee for some odd reason didn't award it.

Nor 4-0 wins against Liverpool.

For me it just shows how lucky Liverpool were to win the CL in 2005. That 2001-2002 team was miles and miles ahead of that 2005 team , they finished 2nd and a Chelsea team that was nowhere near its peak completly humbled them 4-0.

I disagree, I thought we dominated them and played some outstanding football and they were lucky to get away with only 4-0.

He was terrible. I started watching football in 2000 and Benitez is the worst manager I've ever known at the club. Should never have been allowed.

There's not likely to be any football until August 2021 at the earliest. Next sesson is going to be completly cancelled. This season will be considered null and void with all record expunged.

And don't forget Rafa Benitez, the worst manager in our entire history.

We were by far the best team in England in 1998-99 but United fluked their way to another title. As for CL, yes, Chelsea should have at least 5 by now, the luck seemed to always go against us in the mid 2000's. Should have won in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 to add the one we did win in 2012.
