Well, well, well, Yet again I am review another Chelsea DVD and instead of my last one on the Carling Cup Final 2007, this is on the Fa Cup 2007 and Yet again!, the blues won, this time triumphanting over the already crowned Champions England, Manchester United(booo) As a result, this was a very satisfying result even though I am sure that only Chelsea fans enjoyed the game because for a neutral, this game was probably the worst of the season, but in view, it was one of the best because Chelsea were the first team to win the FA Cup at the new Wembley.
Again, as with the Carling Cup DVD, this DVD shows the whole match and includes that wonderful goal by Didier Drogba!
There are two discs in this limited edition DVD and the first shows the blues road to wembley from the first against Maccelsfield Town, to the Semi-Final against a very strong Tottenham side who managed to be 3-1 up at half-time in the first of two games between the sides at Stamford Bridge. It was Chelsea, who had to rely on a Salmon Kalou goal at the death. which earned the blues a 3-3 draw and a replay at White Hart Lane, ending in a 2-1 victory for the blues. Also, this disc shows the FA Cup Final in full. The second disc, features a review of the final.
To the neutal, the game was boring and probably rather fustrating with both sides not even breaking into an attack until the 30minute mark. This remained the same through out most of the game but the second half was better than the first. It began with a strong start from Chelsea, with Drogba hitting the post with a cheeky free kick. For the last 20 minutes, Man United came into the game creating a fair number of chances with Giggs and Rooney having decent chances to score but both failed to hit the target.
Almost inevitably, the game went to extra time withCech and Giggs involved with a bit of contreversy regarding the ball being over the line or not, replays showed it did, but the goal wasn't awarded. As a Chelsea Fan though, I believe Cech was fouled in the build which made him pull the ball over the line but you can have your own opinions with this DVD. In the end though, Drogba scored with a great one-two between himself and Lampard before cleaverly dinking over Van Der Sar. PARTY TIME!
Overall, I would only recommend this to a Chelsea Fan but it is probably not worth spening a whole day trying to get it because the game, in fairness, was rather dull. For around £15 I would spend my money on something else and I only got this DVD for my Birthday.
All the same, it was a memorable day for a Chelsea fan but for anyother fan or spectator of the game the game was a waste of time and I am sure most of you changed channel to Homes Under the Hammer or somethinf else more amusing!.
Thanks for reading, dont buy this DVD.

Good review. It's good to see stuff like this and the value of it increase over the years. Will be at Wembley tonight for the George Micheal concert. More curious than anything really. Blue is the colour, have just got my membership for next season. Here we go... Tim
