Chelsea - FA Cup SF | Pre-Match Thread

I have a bad feeling about today. The after effects of Wednesday, travel home and then travel to London, Peps tinkering of the team. 3-1 to to the Chavs.
Hope I'm wrong.

Hope you are.

Strong starting line up, get a good lead then 5 subs, lol easy this management lark :)

Piece of piss.

What time are the team sheets revealed?

I’d imagine one hour before kick off like normal.

got the feeling he is fed up with the constant if we dont win the champs league its a disastrous campaign ,

I thought it was more than the usual. Maybe I misinterpreted but I thought it was thinly disguised dig at one or more players. Its hard to tell with him sometimes. He certainly gave Simon Stone one of his best death stares. The twat deserved it too.

Obviously I'd love to win both but at a push I think I would prefer 3 points against Villa than a Chelsea win. The thought of a possible 5 point lead going into the last few games would be frightening and for them jammy sods to pip us at the line would be unthinkable.

Opposite for me. We need 10 points (GD) from 6 games. We have breathing space in the league. Lose today and it’s a cup gone.

Anyway, it’s not an either/or is it.

Boring 1 nil defeat written all over this. Thankfully, I’m never right.

flappers gonna flap
moaners gonna moan
but city keeps marching on
fuck off

 

[Don Karleone]

Strongest team possible and let's win the fucking lot. We're capable of it

I must admit, I don't know precisely how good Chelsea are yet.

Nevertheless, I expect this to be a cagey affair.

Real test, CL semifinalists.
