Chelsea (H) - Sun 8th Jan, 16:30 - FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

Hope the club do a nice tribute to Vialli before the game. We are good at that and Chelsea fans will no doubt appreciate it. I’m sure we will. Everton fan mate I spoke to after the game said he couldn’t believe the tributes to former Everton staff and players at the last game and it was much appreciated by him and lads who he goes home and away with.

The photo of him and Mancini embracing would capture his spirit and go down well with both sets of supporters.

Thats a great shout, you should send a note to the club.

Maybe applause in the 9th minute to remember his shirt number

The rags devalued the FA cup forever. It hss never been the same since they did that

The rags devalue everything they are in. Just twats.

 

[KS55]

There's only four trophies you can win every year, there's no guarantee we'll retain this level of success forever (and chances are there will be a turn in the cycle even if I doubt we'll see the dark days again), and none of us are on the planet for that long. I'm as greedy as you, win as many as we can while we're able to.

Are we still in the Lancashire Senior Cup?

 

[KS55]

Our best defender and always should start, sure he would agree but then chelsea don't really have any attack of note so resting him for this would be sensible in auch a cramped fixture list

“Chelsea don’t really have any attack of note” Pep’s reasoning to start the CL final without a DM. That worked out well.

 

[KS55]

Foden , Cancelo and Walker definitely need game time and reminded they are playing for their places , because Lewis and Grealish are far more effective at the moment , would also like Alavarez to be given a start maybe alongside Haaland , cant see Chelsea risking players for this , they are always heralding their academy so let see how good they are.
Hopefully Pep will not make the same mistake as last week and will play a formation the players understand from the first minute , save the experimental tactics for pre-season friendlies.

………and dead CL rubbers.

 

[KS55]

Preferred order : win, lose, draw.
A replay is the last thing we need.

Yup. If it’s 2-2 at 90 mins, a tactical own goal is called for. Is the Dunneymonster available?

Taking my elderly dad today (as well as my 8-year-old for the first time) and just realised if it pisses it down my dad is gonna struggle for 90 mins unless it’s under cover. Does anyone know please if Block 138 Row L in North Stand is under the cover?

Sorry for the random question, I’ve only ever sat in South Stand and a couple of times at top of CB.

It’s bound to be under cover pal as all 4 stands have a roof and being row L means 13 rows back, he’ll be fine. The only slight problem could be if there is a very strong wind blowing in that direction but even that wouldn’t be a big problem. Also at 5 pm the forecast is only 23% chance of rain, I think you are worrying unnecessarily

Legend, thanks mate and appreciate the quick response. Just got panicky as it’s a big day for us today, 3 generations going for the first time, and I hadn’t considered the weather. Cheers for the info.

Hope you all have a great day. Look on the bright side, you have Chelsea fans above you, and although they win be banging on about European cups, won’t be throwing coins and piss like dippers. Have a good one pal

It would be a good throw to hit someone in the North Stand

Saw south stand at the end of the post. Sorry EH same principle apply regarding roof and row L, just no need to worry about away fans above you

 

[BringBackSwales]

Cheers bud!

Sorry mate I thought you said south stand! Still 13 rows back and a roof over you so you and your family will be fine
