Mauricio Pochettino has said Tottenham are more experienced than a year ago, when they lost to Chelsea in last season's FA Cup, but he warned it will count for nothing if they do not perform in Saturday's semifinal against Manchester United.

This match has a lot going on it, but I'm worried about getting top four. If I was given a choice between top four or FA cup, then it's top four every time. Trophies will come, but the money from the Champions League is crucial for us.

If we turn up, we'll turn them over. If not, it will be embarassing

There'll be nothing embarrassing about a narrow loss. If your embarrassed its because you let the fans get to you. Don't let that happen, be proud. Our players play give everything and play good football, winning or otherwise.

A narrow loss is by no means embarrassing. But if we don't show up, it will be much worse than that. Utd know how to kill a team. But so do we. So let's just hope the latter happens. A display like tuesday, and it will end very badly

I can’t keep up with this side’s inconstancy this season, especially in the big games. There’s absolutely no doubt that our defence isn’t as good without Toby, but Poch knows best I suppose. As has been said, if we turn up to this game, I think we’ve got what it takes to win it. After the bizarre no-show in the last couple of games though, who knows!

The problem is that trophies won't come with that attitude winning stuff is so important for so many reasons. To lose 4th would take a humongous cock up on our part. I don't want to wait another ten years for a trophy cos I probably won't be around.

Look at Ferguson and Utd without winning that first FA cup under him he would have probably gone and none of that history would have been created.

Need to win this.

How long have you been watching Spurs to not realise that that's what happens to us more often than chance allows? I'm too scarred and scared by history to not worry about unlikely consequences. I wish all of us long lives to see us win tangible rewards.
