James did the tackle that broke Joskos leg in January.

Chelsea will have free reign tomorrow,they don’t want us winning we just need to think back 12 months and the corrupt decision to not send Henderson off,I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see something happening again,red card or pen ..
 
A word of warning for those going into C London before the game tomorrow, there are a couple of possibly big demo's going on. One by Tommy Robinson at Pariament Sq, and another pro Palastine demo, at Waterlook Pl. It seems they will be taking place during the game, and the police have told them to conclude by 1800 (which is likely when the rioting will take place).
 
Heads up. There are some very funny gallows-humour gifs on the Chelsea Shed End forum for this one.
They're not exactly bullish about this match…
(I've often noticed that there's humour on their forum — self-deprecating, too, sometimes. There is NO humour on the Spurs forum, NO humour on Ragcafé, NO humour whatsoever on Arsenal Mania. I have abstained from looking at RAWK these last fifteen years — I made a clear decision at that time, it was like listening to a pack of rabid, frothing dogs barking and gnashing — but I'd be absolutely astonished to find any humour whatsoever on it. There was about as much humour as a Jim Jones black mass in Guyana when I last looked. Not going to look now, either).

Saw that Pep was prasing our academy after the FA Youth Cup win over U*&#@d. Thought he was going to say "and we'll be playing numerous City academy graduates tomorrow from City's Southern Reserve team in the FA Cup Final at Wembley" :)

Somebody gave me this from Arsenal Mania the other day which I thought was quite funny:

"Scott Parker will be pumped up to beat us, he will convince Burnley's players that club is sleeping giant and want to be in our history books, 0-1 to Burnley."

It was only posted on Monday too, it's not an older post. Obviously hasn't got a clue that Parke's gone.

I don't think Kovacic has the pace or energy to start. Perhaps on for the last 25 minutes if we are looking to shut up shop.

Don't think Pep is particularly impressed with Gonzalez and with Gvardiol only just coming back from injury I think NOR will start at lb. So Kovacic may well start.

Has Pep a similar dilemma to that which Mancini had?

Will Pep do what Mancini did and drop Trafford for the final?

Mancini dropped Pantilimon in favour of Hart and whilst its can now only ever be an opinion.... I think Pantilimon would have got that Wigan header that went over the top of Hart... I think it was a mistake personally to play Hart.

Now we've stuck with Trafford in the cups.... will Pep do the same with Donnarumma? Bear in mind that Trafford already has one cup final and winners medal in his hand.... For me its Trafford all they way

I think Pep will stick with Trafford.

Definitely hope it's Trafford that plays. Fully deserved too. There's been no drop off in goalkeeping levels when he's played this season.
 
Trafford
Nunes
Khusanov
Guéhi
O’Reilly

Gonzales
Silva

Semenyo
Cherki
Doku

Håland

That’s assuming two Nicos are fit, of course.

This is the fine line's Pep works from. If they come off then he's a genius, but if they fail he's made to look a fool
Look, no final is a given, you have to earn the right to be winners and take your chances, but please, can we take the match referee and VAR out of the game by scoring 2 or 3 and kill the game ? unlike the past couple of FA cup finals
