Chelsea 2 - 1 Arsenal. Chelsea Lifts Carling Cup.

Yes. It's The Carling Cup Final At The Millennium Stadium. It's The Last Carling Cup Final There. Next Season's Carling Cup Final Will Be Held At The New Wembley Stadium. It's The Clash Of The English Giants, Chelsea And Arsenal. The Bitter Rivals In The English Premier League And Now The Carling Cup Final.

It's Arsene Wenger's Great Young Squad Against The Special One's New Galatico Squad. Iron Against Steel.

Arsene Wenger Fielded Up A Young Squad Which Consists Of A Defence Made Up Of Justin Hoyte Hoyte, Philipe Senderos, Armand Traore And The Ever Solid Kolo Toure Who Is The Captain Of The Day. A Midfield Which Consists Of Neves Denilson Which Looks Like An Upcoming Brazilian, Vassiriki Diaby, The New Wonderkid Of England Theo Walcott And The Fabulous Young Spaniard Francesc Fabregas. The Last 2 Players To Complete The Squad Is Jeremie Aliadiere And " The Beast " Julio Baptista.

Jose Mourinho Maybe Due To Fear Of A Trophyless Season, He Fielded His Near Best 11 Into The Squad. Petr Cech In Goal. Wayne Bridge, Ricardo Carvalho, The Captain John Terry And Makeshfit Right Back Michael Essien. A Strong Midfield Of The EngineMan Claude Makelele, The Young Starlet Lassana Diarra And The World Class Pair, Michael Ballack And Frank Lampard. They Are Spear-Headed With Didier Drogba And Andriy Shevchenko.

The Young Gunners Put Up A Great Fight Against The Blue Galaticos. All Of Them Never Showed Any Nerves Against Them. This Carling Cup Really Gave Them Chances To Prove Themselves. They Are A Great Team To Watch, Great Passing And Movement. Even Without Their Captain Theirry Henry, Gilberto Silva And Tomas Rosicky, They Are Still A Smooth Flowing Team During Attack. During The 12th Minute, They've Striked !

The Ex-Southampton Starlet, Theo Walcott, With A Hefty Big Prize Tag Of 12Million Pounds Slapped On His Back For Such A Young Player, Is Really Some Great Pressure. But In This Match, He Has Proved His Prize Tag Well. With Bursting Runs Flamboyant Movement, He Is Able To Skipped Past The Challange Of Ricardo Carvalho And Hit The Ball With A Superb Sublime Finish Which Gave Arsenal The Priceless Lead They Needed.

But The Lead Never Stayed Long. On The 20th Minute, Chelsea's Top Scorer, Didier Drogba Received A Pinpoint Pass From Michael Ballack And Did The Thing Which Every Striker Should Have Done, Score The Goal. The Ivory Coast Striker Den Gave His Team An Important Equaliser Which Definitely Also Act As A Morale Booster For The Team.

When The 2nd Half Started, The Special One Made A Very Important Substitution For The Team, He Brought On Arjen Robben For Claude Makelele. Taking Out A Defensive Player For An Attacking Player Is What Most Coaches Will Do During The Match When There Are On The Losing Side. But This Substitution Is Definitely A Very Important One. Arjen Robben Is A Player With Pace, Flair And Attacking Ability.

The Chelsea Team With Arjen Robben Looks Like A Team Possessed. Full Of Attacking Flair And Efficiency. The Skills Of Arjen Robben On The Right Flank Gives The Young Armand Traore Tons Of Trouble. The Young Traore Can Hardly Catch Up With The Pace Of Arjen Robben, Not To Say Putting In A Tackle Against Him.

During The 60th Minute, Something Happened. I Forgot Whether Izzit A Freekick Or A CornerKick, The Ball Is Floated Into The Penalty Box And When John Terry Is Going For The Header, He Was Being Kicked By Diaby Who Wants To Clear The Ball Away. The Kick Hit John Terry's Face And He Was Out Cold Immediately. He Was Seen Lying Motionless On The Pitch. The Match Was Stopped. Coaches, Players And Physios All Came. Even The Opposition's Physios Came Over To Help. It Was A Bad One. John Terry Without Any Movement. He Was Being Stretched Out Of The Pitch With An Oxygen Mask.

John Obi Mikel Was Brought On To Replace Their Captain John Terry To Help Out In The Attack. During The 84th Minute, Arjen Robben On The Left Flank, Delivered A Superb Cross For Didier Drogba To Head In The Winner For Chelsea. And Now It Was 2 - 1 To The Blues.

But A Splendid Match Ended In An Ugly Fashion. During The 90th Minute, The Tackle Between John Obi Mikel And Kolo Toure Ended Up In A Brawl Which Saw Even Their Head Coaches Arsene Wenger And Jose Mourinho Running Onto The Pitch To Stop Them From The Fight. This Brawl Saw Kolo Toure, John Obi Mikel And Emmanuel Adebayor Sent Off For The Match. Francesc Fabregas And Frank Lampard Getting Booked.

But In The End, It's The Fighting Spirit Of The Blues Which Gave Them The Win. Even Though Arsenal Lost, I'll Still Applaud Them For Their Never Say Die Attitude. We Can See The Future Of Arsenal With Their New Generation Of Superstars Putting Up A Fight Against The Almighty Chelsea. I Can See Glimpse Of Brillance Of Francesc Fabregas Which Will Definitely Be A Star Player For Arsenal In Years To Come.
