Everton went ahead through Louis Saha's early strike, but goals from Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard took Guus Hiddink's Chelsea to victory.

"I look back with a lot of pleasure in getting the team to the final," Moyes said. "Chelsea were the better team on the day, I can't argue with that

"Lampard is a big player who scored big goals and that's what he's done today. I thought we had our best spell after he scored, but the better team won.

"The margin was narrow in the score, but there were bigger margins on the pitch.

"Last year was the semi-finals, now the final, so hopefully we'll win something next season. The team's been progressing year on year, whether we won or lost this was progress."

  8. nice and refreshing to hear a manager loose with­ dignity and not look to blame the ref's, linesmen­ or tom @#$% and harry, some managers in the game talk­ about respect all the time but show non, they should­ take a leaf out of this manager book , a top man i just­ hope we can give him the money he needs to take us on­ another step and into the top 4

  10. i think that moyes is a very honest manager and he­ deserved to win everton build their players they dont­ buy them

  11. I think that David Moyes will get the next UTD job when­ Fergie leaves. I would like to see someone like david­ moyes to come to arsenal. We're another club who­ aren't that financially supported. Arsenal might be­ rich but we are still in debt even after selling off­ highbury.

  12. what a gracious manager in defeat, moyles you deserved­ better. CHELSEA BY BIRTH, NOT GLORY.

  14. Moyes is a stand up guy. Everton doesn't have the­ money of Chelsea and couldn't afford to lose­ Arteta. Might have been a different game if he­ hadn't been injured. Cahill looked hurt as well,­ not at his best. Too bad

    From tom h, on Sat 30 May 7:01PM

  15. honest manager ;)

  16. unlucky everton from a man utd fan moyles gracious in­ defeat it was a ok game 4 a final

    From GRIFF, on Sat 30 May 6:49PM

  17. very true!

    From Austin, on Sat 30 May 6:15PM

  18. humble and honest. Mr Moyes is truly a legendary­ manager in the making. Low Budgets and some mediocre­ players and he still manages to provide results like­ 5th in the league, unless the Evorton board find some­ finance i think he has to be considered a front runner­ for a big club.
