d.papas - I've been waiting for you to come back­ and say "Ooops - sorry Mary - I've made a bit­ of a prat of myself, and made myself look a bit foolish­ by saying that I had read ALL your posts when I­ obviously hadn't. Please accept my apologies for­ being unnecessarily rude to you - I can now see that­ you posted about the game yesterday, in #185 - I feel­ SO silly now!"

I didn't realise that you were­ the Message Board Taliban - I've got better things­ to do with my Sunday that be monitored by you. I'll­ leave you to throw your weight around with anyone else­ who dares to comment on "your" board. Perhaps­ you'll let us know when it will be ok to come back­ and start posting again?

Fair play mary, makes pretty good sense. Though i think­ you do Everton a disservice by calling their players­ journeymen. As far as i am aware their squad isn't­ really full of journeymen (a term generally used for­ players at end of their carers wanting a final pay­ day). Maybe SAHA could be termed that, somewhat harshly­ as only injuries blighted his career at UTD. All the­ rest are either young from youth set up, or expereinced­ pros. Cahill and Neville as the two prime example.­ Also, not to sure about the budget comment either. I­ mean, Yak wasn't exactly cheap, nor Jagielka.­ Thoughi agree hardly a budget befitting a team chasing­ Europe. Finally the game, I'd say SPOT ON! Guss­ knew what he was doing, maybe Everton were guilty of­ scroing too early! Silly as it sounds but it kinda­ angered chelski and but nervousness (hibbert)into their­ play early on.

P.S. Ignore my previous sexist­ comment, as i hadn't spotted comment 185 thought­ i'd have a dig in response to yours at me!

Evertons injury crisis finally caught up with them,­ they still made a game of it though
Really missed­ arteta and Jagielka to give some craft unluc

Typical as I look through the threads so many Chelsea­ haters complain about money won it... Chelsea's­ strength and resilience won the game. Liverpool empty,­ Arsenal empty and Man U walk away with two cups a­ mickey mouse one and premier league. Chelsea well­ deserved from a season that was a joke to being minutes­ away from a CL final says alot about players and Mr­ Hiddink and the game itself was great. May I remind you­ that Man U and Liverpool have equally splashed out to­ improve their squads

mary do you really look like that? Or are you a 40 year­ old hairy trucker on the wind up?

A warm round of applause to Chelsea, especially Lucky­ Gus. I wish there were more managers like him in the­ EPL, top class, great motivator. Didn't get to­ watch the game (a professional musician rarely gets to,­ I guess), but good show by Everton too, I heard. Still­ smarting from Manutd's loss, but Barca was really­ fantastic. I guess it's Ok to lose to a team you­ also admire so much. Nuff of that. Niweys, good luck­ Lucky Gus!

Well MARY, having been back through the messages i see­ that i had in fact read all your messages. Starting by­ slgging us immature men of for a bit of swearing and a­ few sexist comments. And poor old donney for boring­ you. I don't see one comment on football! To add to­ my previous list, i also wrote about evertons last win­ in the cup (football related) and to a greek about­ barcas history (football related). So i think i speak­ for most on here (football fans not the odd few on here­ just to @#$% (you included)) when i say, talk about the­ footy or go paint your bloody nails!

d.papas - Here you go, then. Here's my thoughts­ from yesterday's game, cut & pasted just for­ you. Will this be OK for you, or have you some more­ unpleasant and sarcastic things to say?

185 - Quite­ enjoyed the game this afternoon - Chelsea were­ by­ far­ the better team and deserved their victory.­ Well­ done­ to Everton for reaching the Final - they­ tried­ hard,­ but they are so limited and so­ predictable.

The­ heat­ of the afternoon effectively­ ended Everton's­­ chances of winning - their­ hustle-bustle, physical,­­ kick-and-rush style was just­ not possible, as they­­ wouldn't have been able to­ come out for the­ second­ half. Kudos to Chelsea - they­ knew that­ Everton­ wouldn't be able to play the­ physical­ stuff in the­ heat, and just played neat­ passing­ football. Sadly,­ Everton had no answer to the­ passing­ game and just­ looked woefully short of­ ideas.

But­ considering their­ less-than-Championship­ budget and­ their team of­ journeymen and young­ hopefuls, I­ thought they deserved­ some praise for­ their­ achievments this season.

I'm impressed you looked through all 380 +­ comments! But if you paid attention to my final­ message, it ended thus "So what did you make of­ the game?" So i ask again, what did you think of­ the game? As maybe i'm just lazy but having seen­ ten of your posts i cant really be bothered to check­ all 380 in the hope that there may have been anything­ worthwile in there! As for my previous comments, i­ belive in one i congratulated chelsea on a good­ performance. One i said about everton missing the­ opportunity to close down lampard for the winner and­ one telling mike s to stop making sick remarks about­ lamps dead mother? or are they not valid comments?

d.papas - like you say, you've only just­ "logged on", and you therefore obviously­ haven't as yet read from the beginning of this­ thread, otherwise you would have seen my comments on­ the game. If you're having difficulty going back­ through the previous pages (hint: you click on­ "Next" at the bottom of the page) just let me­ know and I'll do a cut-and-paste for you.

Now -­ what was the point of YOUR message? I looked for YOUR­ football-related comments, but all I could see were­ some sarcastic jibes which I presume you were hoping­ would make you look witty to all the other posters­ here. Did you press "Submit comment" before­ you had finished your post? Is something missing?

Totally agree with you Mary. the worlds full of loons!­ take care gorgeous!

zrashid473 - in your dreams, you silly little boy. We­ ALL know that the next time you have sex will be your­ FIRST time. Now stop playing with yourself and go and­ get on with your homework, there's a good­ lad....

jimig333 - not 'mad', just SAD. There­ are some sad, sick wierdos here.

Mary, I mutst admit i've only just logged on. So­ haven't seen your infamous "porn pic"­ LOL! But what i will ask is this... What are the points­ of your messages? So far all you've done is moan!­ You haven't commented on the footy as far as i can­ see? So what did you make of the game?

mary,you no wot you need hun?a good seeing to.the way u­ go on hun is a sure sign you not getting enough.give me­ a shout id sort it for ye.

Mary....you shouldn,t let em make you mad.

I can die happy !! At last a decent FA Cup final thanks­ to that opening goal by the alleged underdogs forcing­ Chelsea to come out and then Everton to try and hold­ out. Good goals too !! Now if only England could win­ the world cup next year and Swindon win the­ Premiership I'd sell tickets to me funeral a month­ in advance !!

Footnote, re. Big Monkey's earlier posting. A­ little extreme I feel. Example: Poor old West Brom. are­ "not good enough", Bless Them. When you have­ achieved what Chelsea have achieved since, lets say­ 2005, and you are up there with the undoubted quality­ of Man U., Liverpool and Arsenal in the top five area,­ "not good enough" really does not apply to­ any of them! Enjoy a sunny Sunday.

I've changed it back to one that shows my streaky­ hair, pudgy nose and freckles - I hope that this will­ mean that you read the posts rather than looking at the­ pictures, like some sort of kids comic.

I really do­ wonder just how old (or should I say YOUNG) some of you­ "men" are sometimes. Perhaps this explains­ why some of you feel the need to end a post with­ "You smelly turd" - for goodness sake,­ that's the sort of thing little boys used to shout­ in the school playground...

Well done to both 'The Blues' for providing us­ with such an entertaining Final in such extremely hot­ conditions. 'The man in black' runs the game,­ and every tackle, free kick and penalty decision should­ not be second guessed by the technology. This would­ serve to stifle sporting competitiveness, and where­ would we go from there? However, the camera did not­ lie, and the ref got it wrong! Tim Howard, M.Malouda­ and the watching millions saw the ball cross the­ Everton line. 3-1 to Chelsea, and in the name of fair­ play and effort rewarded (Malouda was CFC. 'Man of­ The Match' for my money), this should become­ official. I don't think The Everton lads would­ complain.

sex on legs is mary
