Who do you want/think we will get?
I have a feeling it will be Chelsea again

Give us Chelsea. I want another crack at those bastards at Wembley after they won there in August.

I quite fancy Leicester if VAR is in effect.
The Taiwanese channel I was watching seemed to show Son's goal was onside yesterday, but there was no commentary in the bar, yet VAR ruled it offside. Was it mentioned much by the commentators? Didn't affect the result in the end, but they seem to be making a few dodgy calls with it.

The VAR ref/pundit said something along the lines of it was hard to 100% confirm Son was onside. So if there was doubt they would rule it offside. He was then pressed whether he thought Son was on or off and he said on.

So VAR is obviously not fool proof as it still relies on human interpretation!

the one I watched they said if the VAR is inconclusive they go with the original on field decision. however there is no confirmation as to whether the VAR did decide that or not... its pretty horrible at the moment.

No quite, what he said was if it wasn't conclusive via VAR(and it wasn't) then they have to go with the infield decision given by the linesman. He said it was his opinion that it was just onside, but that VAR did not conclusively show that it was. As far as the VAR regulations go the decision was the correct one IMO.

I would obviously like us to get Southampton/Wigan, but I don't mind too much. I'm with others though in saying I don't think Chelsea getting through Leicester is a given either.
