Avram Grant says that Chelsea deserved more, but on the day, I think he is completely wrong. I'm not convinced about this 'wanting it more' phrase. Surely there were no Chelsea players holding back at all in a cup final at Wembley? As a neutral I think it was a totally deserved win.

Saying that I do believe Tottenham wanted it more and did deserve the win. Berba was again incredible, every time he plays Chelsea Terry struggles to deal with his aerial presence. I had a sneaky feeling that Chelsea would win the CL this year but I'm beginning to have my doubts. It's becoming more apparent that Avram's Chelsea find it difficult against the better sides (e.g. with a fit Torres it may have been Liverpool's day when the recently visited the bridge). We'll have to see how they play against United and Arsenal. I think Avram got it all wrong. Saying that I do believe Tottenham wanted it more and did deserve the win.

I've always had a soft spot for them since Lasagna-Gate. Deserved victory and it's good for the game to see the silverware spread around more evenly. Congratulations to Spurs.

The lads were NOT committed, at least not until they fell behind. An uninspiring performance. They walked out there as cup holders and demanded respect because of that, and expected to win by reputation alone. As far as Lennon, it takes a player to make good runs and positioning to receive the ball. Lennon was largely silent the first half, and only came on for a few short spurts in the second. We were worried about him coming into the game, but during it, we were not. But the lad has talent, I admit that. Ahmed: Everyone will have to be replaced at some point. It is silly to nitpick one bad performance from an aging RB that has been consistently one if not the best in the league this season. He is definitely not a long term solution, which is why theyw rapped up Ferreira on a 5 year deal, but if you are going to pick out a Chelsea woe, it should not be the future of the RB position. We definitely have more pressing problems at winger and forward positions. We are disaapointed, Hugo. The lads were NOT committed, at least not until they fell behind. An uninspiring performance.

He was simply not given any service. Almost every time he got the ball, he was productive and exciting. I remember sending a text to a friend at 1-0 saying "We´ve got to get the ball to Lennon". Next time he got it, he played in an excellent ball to Huddlestone and we won a penalty. Incidentally, it was a great move from Ramos to switch Lennon to the left. I don't think Chelsea fans can be too disappointed. Your lads were committed and it was a great spectacle: lots of passion and drama. And you've still got at least 2 competitions to compete for.
