Not very confident about today, think the Man City game knocked some confidence out of us, hopefully I’m wrong..

He means this is the 2nd time we will have played United at Wembley this season(league and fa cup), and this is the 4th time two teams will play twice vs each other at Wembley, after the other games listed.
Ah makes more sense as you’d need to have same finalists for lge cup & FA cup (or semis) assume they’re not counting charity shield as it’s pre-season

Can see Mourinho closing the game down and trying to hit us with pace on the break.

Be interesting to see if they place Young on top of Alli again as he’s a nasty little wind-up merchant.

We were comfortable against them in the league but our goal so early (11sec) threw their game plan out of the window and we didn’t need to chase the game

How funny would it be if we did that again. Don't get me wrong, I know that the chance of it happening is remote but Mourinho's face would be a picture.

Seven.

If Seven is enough for the Magnificent, the Secret, the Samurai, the Dwarves, the Brides (and the Brothers) and Blake, then it’s surely enough for Tottenham’s run of FA Cup semi-final defeats.

If we were able to break a 28-year-old hoodoo earlier this year, then we should be able to break a 27-year-old curse tomorrow.

The run of Seven stops here. So says Nine (who, incidentally, may well be one over the Eight).

You missed out the Sisters :)

Thing with that game was they got in behind us a fair bit. They kept trying to go over the top from wide and if they were a little better with their execution it certainly could have been different.

If we play as well as we can I'm sure we will do fine but I'm certainly nervous.

If we play as well as we can then we’ll destroy them hell even if both teams are average we’re the better team. It’s just if they frustrate us and we lose concentration then we become vulnerable

Nervous here also. Wondering who is between the sticks today and a hundred and one other frets.

Got shopping later this morning, will be wearing a Tottenham top despite half the country over here in Ireland
being gobby Man United 'fans'

Yet happy the other half of the country are ABU's - Anyone But United.

Desperate for the FA Cup. I really want to be able to sing the proper words to "Glory Glory Allelujah".

As a man of integrity in his early 30s I've been singing "mine eyes have seen the glory of the Jumbotron at White Hart Lane".

If we dont concede early in the 1st half i think we should win. I hear "park the bus" is playing for man utd today so i dont expect it to open up till 60 mins. #COYS
