Welcome to Chelsea, Xabi Alonso! As Jimmy Greaves famously said, "It's probably the greatest name in the world: Chelsea. You think about it. What does it conjure up? It conjures up the best part of the biggest city in the world. Chelsea... it’s magical." Come On You Blues 👊🤞

Half-time. So far, so good! Great to see Chelsea score a goal with no accompanied 'celebration music'. As usual, probably need another goal to seal the deal. CMBAWAWHT 😉

Let's be honest, Chelsea making progress in various cup competitions down the years has always been steeped in drama and tonight was no different. In the final, meaningless media analysis, the result is all that matters. No Hollywood ending! Victory for the Blues! And relax 💙

On paper, this looks like a team that should be able to cope with lower league opposition but it's the FA Cup and it's Phil Parkinson and he's got previous form for undoing Chelsea. Hopefully no repeat today.🤞 Come On Chelsea 👏💙

Nice way for Chelsea to get back in the winning groove. Four goals scored. No red cards. No goals conceded from set-pieces. João Pedro terrific. Quality team performance, huddle huddle, huddle. Pleased for Liam Rosenior - he needed a big result and got one. 👏👏👏

It's like a kick-and-rush game in a school playground. VAR and the ref are going to have another big say in the second-half I reckon. 🤞Chelsea get the calls and maybe another goal early on.

Capable enough starting XI. The bench isn't exactly flush with proven attacking options but maybe Cucurella can be that game changer if required. Come On Chelsea🙏👊💙

Chelsea's goal aside, which was very tidy indeed, the only other highlight of the first-half was the chant of "you're just a shit Cucurella" directed at Mejbri of Burnley on account of his Cucuesque barnet.
