Jose Mourinho put aside the controversy surrounding his pet dog this week to concentrate on guiding his Chelsea side to their domestic cup double. In winning the FA Cup he has won six trophies in three seasons at Stamford bridge,

The build up and hype surrounding the first final at the New Wembley, was almost as long and drawn out as the redevelopment itself. The FA were gifted the ‘dream’ final between Manchester United and Chelsea.

The dream final failed to live up to the hype of the two best teams in the country playing to decide who had the more successful season. The lush pitch was dry and played slow. After a sterile first half played at a testimonial pace, the pitch resembled a poorly ploughed field. The groundsman at Wembley will have to put in a call to White Hart Lane to find the secrets to a pitch voted the best in England this season.

The second half had just as little to offer, the double team on the Chelsea flank were keeping Cristiano Ronaldo quiet. Only Wayne Rooney tried to grab the game by the scruff of the neck.

Ryan Giggs had what appeared to be a goal disallowed, in scenes reminiscent of that night in January when Roy Carroll cheated Spurs. Giggs slid the ball toward the goal and as he and Cech collided the Chelsea keeper pulled the ball toward himself as he lay behind the goal line. There was no foul as Referee Steve Bennett did not award a free kick, meaning that United were denied an obvious goal, demonstrating that what goes around, comes around.

Didier Drogba broke the deadlock with five minutes left his quick one two with Frank Lampard broke the United offside trap, he gently guided the ball over the advancing Van Der Sar in to the goal to give Jose Mourinho the elusive FA Cup win that he craved.
