FA Cup Semi-Final Game vs Chelsea
4/16/2007

It was a great yet disappointing day yesterday for Blackburn. We
played the champions, Chelsea in the semi-final of the FA Cup and lost
2-1 in extra time.

We played very well and in the second half especially had the
better of the play and scoring chances.

We were able to walk off the field with our heads held high due to
our performance but that will not hide our frustration at not being in
the final for the first FA Cup at the new Wembly.

Our fans were absolutely amazing, as were Chelsea's, which made
for a tremendous atmosphere.

The great thing about football is that another game is always
around the corner and we now have to put the disappoint of yesterday behind us and focus on beating Watford on Wednesday.
