FA Cup Final - Neville: Cup defeat all my fault

Seem like Blue cannot mess with Gold/Yellow

Congrats to Chelsea for winning the FA cup, well deservedly.
Hope they can continue to progress on to challenging and winning trophies next season. I agree with one of Hiddink's post match comment posted on soccernet. Whoever steps in to replace him next season better not make too many changes. Focus on stability and progress from there.

Neville: Cup defeat all my fault
Phil Neville has told Everton fans to blame him for their FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea.
Neville, who captained the side at Wembley, was designated as the man to nullify Frank Lampard for the day, but he crucially lost the Chelsea man for the winning goal.
On the face of it, Neville actually did all he could to force Lampard off his right foot onto his left, before producing a shot that Tim Howard should have saved.
However, Neville insists the buck should stop with him, and he admitted he has never felt a lower emotion in his career.
“I take full responsibility for the winning goal. I should have taken the ball but I was already on a booking,” Neville said post-match.
“You simply cannot allow someone like Frank Lampard all that space and time – and we were certainly punished.
“This is the worst feeling I have had in football. It was such a long walk up those steps. I didn’t want to do it, but you have got to. I really didn’t want to be there.
“You feel as if you have let the supporters down and your family too, especially when they have travelled down to Wembley.”
