All the going down and whingeing in this game had Mrs. Exeter comment that Lucy Bronze taped up her own broken leg in the Women's Euros final last year an carried on playing.

Pain endurance is one area where, I'm afraid to say, women absolutely mogg the fellas.

Trafford looks dodgy to me. Wouldn’t fill me with confidence if he’s being lined up as a replacement for Emi.

Same, always thought he looked a bit flimsy, definitely not as good as Emi.

No, but whoever we end replacing him with isn't going to be as good at the moment - because Emi is one of, if not the, best in the world.

But when he was Trafford's age Emi was on loan at Rotherham. You wouldn't be buying him for what he is now, you'd be buying him for the player he might be over the next twelve years.

I don't see him as good enough to be a number 1 at a Champions league team. Maybe in another few years, maybe not.

Chelsea spent £70m on Kepa thinking he would grow into being their number one for the next 12 years, then spent another fortune trying to replace him.

If Emi left I've got no idea who would replace him, but I'd hope it would someone more oven ready.

What are the consequences on Europe places if either team win?

Chelsea would qualify for the Europa League if they win. If Man City win then the place passes down so 6th/7th Europa League, 8th Conference League.

Either way, 6th would still change to a Champions League place if Villa win the Europa League and lose to Man City and Liverpool beat Brentford, but it wouldn't make a difference to 7th/8th teams.

My detestation for Chelsea increases every time I see them.
They cheat, whinge, manipulate and shithouse at every single opportunity.
Every single one of their players is a cvnt with no redeeming features whatsoever.
Amen brother.

He wore a suit at the walkout then changed.  I can live with that.

It’s City’s and therefore doesn’t count.

Not a cup final that lives long in the memory, that city 1-0 win over spurs.

Thanks cd. 👍

Madness that there could be 6x PL teams in CL.

It's occasions like this I'm riddled with jealousy. This must mean so much to those City fans.
