Thanks to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, Chelsea has made it to the FA Cup Final after beating their hated London neighbours 2-1 in front of 88,000 fanatics in today’s semi final at Wembley. I suppose some credit can be given to Chelsea too.

Fabianski looked out of his league right from the opening whistle and was caught out of his net on numerous occasions. Perhaps he mistakenly put down the wrong team on his betting slip before the match and was trying to rectify that on the pitch with his odd decisions and positioning. But, it was the Polish international’s 24th birthday, so God only know what he got up to last night. However, somebody should tell him he’s the one who should be receiving presents not giving them out as he did with Chelsea.

Wenger, who, I think is extremely overrated as a manager, will probably be raked over the coals by Arsenal supporters for his team selection, tactics, and substitutions for the game. For some reason Arshavin started on the bench and then Adebayor was taken off in the 83rd minute and replaced by Bendter, And funnily enough, it only took Chelsea about 30 seconds to go ahead for good as Drogba sealed the deal in the 84th as he easily rounded an onrushing Fabianski who was yards out of his area and deposited the ball into the empty net. Of course Wenger had no clue what to do next as he had just taken his top scorer off the pitch.

Theo Walcott, one of only two English players on the pitch for Arsenal (Kieran Gibbs, being the other), put the Gunners ahead in the 18th minute after his weak shot struck Chelsea defender Ashley Cole’s hand and dribbled past keeper Petr Cech.

Florent Malouda tied it up 15 minutes later and Chelsea looked more likely to score again as Anelka hit the post shortly after. It looked like Arsenal were content with a 1-1 score line and were trying to reach the 90 minute mark, while Chelsea wanted the end the affair without having to go to extra time and possibly penalty kicks.

Chelsea won’t know who they play until tomorrow (April 19th), when Premier League leaders Manchester United take on sixth-place Everton at Wembley again. The groundskeepers probably won’t get much sleep overnight though as the pitch was coming up all over the place. Wenger, of course, made sure he placed blame on the state of the field during his post game TV interview.

Chelsea could still possibly pull of a treble on the quiet this year as they have a shot at the EPL championship, the FA Cup and the Champions League, where they play Barcelona next. Interim manager has done a great job with the team and I’m sure the club will try and entice the Dutchman into staying after the season ends. However, Hiddink is adamant that he’s going to return to his other job as the manager of the Russian national team.

Meanwhile, it looks like Arsenal will likely end up in fourth place in the league, but have been impressive in the Champions League, where they take on Manchester United next.
