I was pretty confident we had a good shot before yesterday, now feeling little bit nervous. Am I right to feel that way or just in shock from last match still?

Dont think it will affect much. Each game as it comes. Cup finals are notorious for upsetting all form books. Players have had THIS one in their minds anyway since we beat Sheffield. We always put in a big performance against the biggun's. I'd be more worried if we were playing Norwich City in the final. Slip up Hammer time.

It's a win win, if we lose - it's acceptable - unless it's because of the officials.

Might make us even more determined. It's like when we play teams like City, I dont want to play them after a defeat because you know they'll be looking to bounce back in a big way.

I am always confident until the teams get announced. Then sometimes I am not so confident. Provided MoPo picks our best players we will win.

No change. The players know what they can do and we haven't had enough shocking results yet to justify a complete melt down (e.g. Like the loss to Liverpool etc last year).

I actually think now is the good time to put a bet in for Spurs win which i will go do now.

This is Spurs which means we perform when we least expect it and bottle it when we do expect it.

We might not win on Sunday but it wouldn't surprise me if we played really well and its a very close run thing.

I think we will get spanked - but then I felt exactly that way before the home games against Chelsea and Arsenal so what do I know?

Have said we have very little chance in the Cup for a while now, we don't play well enough and Mourinho out for revenge usually only ends in one way.

Even if we do win it will be one of those massive efforts and then we will be in letdown spots for the next two games, starting with at least 2 pts dropped v Swansea (who should already have beat us once this season).

Need Kane and Eriksen to have blinders and Chadli to find some form again. Dembele should do well.

I didn't trust our defence much before the Fiorentina farce. Even less so now.

Heart is filled with hope, head is filled with dread.

One minute I think we're in with a good chance...another minute I'm convinced we'll lose by 3 or 4 goals...then the next minute I'm dreading the prospect of a penalty shoot-out.

My heart palpitations have only just stopped from the 2008 cup final.

I just passed Wembley Stadium while on the train. The arch is lit up white and blue and straight away the adrenalin started pumping. Last night doesn't even register. It's all about Sunday.

I'm about the same, don't know what to feel right now.

I only hope that Chelsea have watched our last few games and decided that they can have us, only for us to catch them off guard. The problem is, as much as I loathe Mourinho, he's a smart guy and will be doing everything he can to stop his players from repeating the same mistake. I expect him to play very differently this time round.

Still excited for it. Our weakness is on our flanks, which is something Chelsea don't attack nor do they shield with. They overload the middle with world class technical ability and find their way through. I'd actually rather be playing them than City or Liverpool as a result.

As long as we can pin them back with a bit of belief and aggression, we can have a good go in this one. We're the underdogs here, and it's high time we get back to using that mindset to our advantage again instead of a disadvantage. Nothing to lose, go out and have a go, and frustrate them like we did in the last one.

I do still have some hope as at our best we're a decent side. Since the Arsenal game we have been piss poor however so I'm almost trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Still think we'll win.

Either way I'm going to enjoy it as our future is bright whatever happens.

COYS.
