Chelsea - FA Cup SF | Pre-Match Thread

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...

Fucking Dean, well that's not what we wanted

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

Yeah, but we can't call ourselves true greats until we've won back to back quadruples...

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

Agree 100%. For a football fan this is almost surreal. 12/13 years ago and beyond it would have been the biggest game ever. Would have been bricking it from 2 weeks before. It's an FA Cup Semi final!!!!
Yet tomorrow for me at least,desperate to see us win but won't cry if we lose because the next biggest game is 4 days later and then 3 days later again. This is absolutely INCREDIBLE.
As for the game, tough but think we should do it with a stronger team than Leeds.

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.

Steffen definitely starts tomorrow

I think Chelsea will make plenty of changes too. This is the lowest of their priorities and a FA Cup Final appearance will be little consolation for them if they fail to clinch a CL spot for next season.
