He’s dismissed it as impossible as it‘s never been done before but he’ll want to achieve the impossible - that’s what he’s all about.

Well put. If one man can do it he can. Years ago, we used to sing “Dennis Tueart walks on water, sha-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-laaa”. You can substitute “Guardiola” and it still scans.

I vaguely recall Chelsea thumping City 5-1 or thereabouts in the FA Cup a few years back, which nobody seems to have mentioned. I also recall having attended the Full Members Cup final at Wembley when Chelsea led 5-1 midway through the second half, a match also being remembered for pitch battles outside.

Can you remember even dreaming about just doing the double years ago,never mind winning fucking anything ?

Used to dream about even winning a game and then having egg & chips for tea if we had a shilling for the meter.

FA Cup Rules A quick reminder once again to this year's "updated" cup rules ... and so just like previous rounds, everything is in one place relating to this tie. VAR In the earlier rounds of the cup, only the ties played at PL grounds had the use of VAR while others played at lower league...

Pessimistic post - i think it will go to extra time and we will get beat as will be tired from Wednesday.

Why are so many people predicting Stones to be benched in this important match? He is clearly a first team player so isn't it more logical to start him and Dias in this semi-final and then start Laporte and Ake in a Villa match?

No one change each match. Laporte and Dias versus Chelsea and Laporte and Stones v Villa.
