agree that.. although they got nothing to chase in league already, but sure they will fight strongly just to revenge on losing the FA Final.. so Chelsea dun wan 4th place and focus on UCL, or fight till the end for 4th place, is up to RDM now~ but KTBFFH!!

For me is better to concentrate on UCL final because our faith is at our own hand rather than praying for other failure. But even we rest a few player against LIV, we still have a good enough squad to win.

Hope to see MEIRELES and TORRES start against LIV. But also expect MALOUDA and STURRIDGE beside him playing their own game

Even though we lose I'll be contempt since a few months ago who would have thought we can be in this position let alone win a cup!

lets hope cahill and luiz is avaible on final. IF they still not avaible, wonder who will be cb when final?

we always have bosingwa / ferreira and essien available for CB. no worries.

when will the team wearing new jersey? this sunday or the final?

Sturridge can play in his position...but like yall know hes not really a good team player and he usually scores and play good against low tier team....against a good team he usually becomes invisible...

oh 20 min quickie
im not aware that torres played that fa cup game.

btw...he no butthurt last time agger elbow him?

he did not play. just come in for celebration.

anyone could second guess the reason why the UCL Final Kit is not out on the CMS or CMSA?

Is it because no one has made up the mind if we are going to wear the new kit during the final or the current kit?

it's getting too close to UCL Final and it take 7 days for HK to deliver the kit to here in AUS

i almost got my FA CUP Final kit late!!!

as far as my reading online is concern, only Luiz shown some prospect to be ready for the final. not much info on Cahill though, let just pray both of them able to recover. for god sake, it just one game. one game that matter. please throw everything they got and fight till the last rebel.

High chances are they are wearing the new kit. Maybe they will only release it sometime this week?

I've got my FA Cup Final kit but still in England, too bad it's not entirely like the one they wore on the final, missing Respect patch.

Hi there,

yes, subsequent to my posting, i've received an email confirmation from CMSA that they are actually infact, still awaiting confirmation from CMS UK to confirm what is going to be sold as a decision on whether 11/12 or 12/13 kit be wore on that big night is still unconfirmed yet by UCL and Chels Mgmt.

Your FA CUP Final kit is legit one, dont worry. Infact, no one is selling the official respect badge, just like "right to play" stickies for the UCL kit.

The ones u see on the street that are claim to be "original" is really up to how your own opinion.

As far its been announced, the only way to get an authentic kit with these original patches, is to be buddies with JT and co and have them fling you their shirt after the game

So those ah pek around who is about to come in here and boast they've got the respect badge or "right to play badge" may in fact be the laughing stock in terms authenticity.

What you're saying is that the FA Respect Patch that's sold on the street is fake ?

mate, i've never said that
i only said its up to your own decision/judgment.

No lar bro, authentic RESPECT patch has been sold before since the FA introduced this patch in semi-final a couple of seasons back. Can vouch that it's from Sporting ID (the official manufacturer of such patch).

Just that currently, it's really out of stock. Probably the reason why CMS and CMSA didn't include it. Anyway, this is something new cause if based on previous trend, only semi final games will wear this patch. In final, 1 pair of FA Cup patches will be used last time.

As for for the RIGHT TO PLAY, that one memang not available commercially (original ones I mean).

Mate, in all due respect,

the authentic RESPECT was on sale before. but those are for the normal games.

i think what was discussed what the specially designed RESPECT badge on the sleeves for the FA Cup Final. It's different from the usual RESPECT badge if i am not wrong, but i stand corrected.

In fact, those respect badge you referred to, arent just in FA Cup game. They are also worn in other games like the Carling.

Yes, it had also came to my attention that the normal respect badge is currently unavailable due to out of stock.

but the statement i was making was, i meant the special RESPECT badge that you saw over the weekend's final.

and yes, it used to be 1 pair of FA Cup patches for the final but because like i said, this is a UNIQUE RESPECT badge that was introduced only for the final game. its not available for public sale. u need to be Frankie's cousin to have one of those badge.

and i am glad you agreed on the RIGHT TO PLAY badge. at least i got something right there, didnt i? haha.

Yes bro, that's the specially designed respect badge (the white colour one with FA crest) I'm talking about. It's actually the same as the one used during the semi-final. It has always been made available bro.

ic. then its my bad!

sorry for the wrong information, peeps!

It's okay bro, we all learn from each other every day.

That's the Chelsea spirit!
