Tottenham Vs Chelsea: Match Thread

[StanSpur]

I don't get any of you to be honest. For me there is a history and magic about the FA Cup. Yes the CL gives you more money and the potential to play the Barcas of this world but for me growing up the European cups were all a bit meh. The FA Cup was the showpiece event, shown on itv and bbc - it was the most important football match in the country. Back in 91 we were leading the way in wins of this cup and since then we've fallen so far back. I still believe winning this cup puts us back on the map. 4th in the league is what? A chance of the CL! A cup win is a real place in the record books - nobody will remember who cam 4th in 20 years.

I'm excited about taking on one of our least favorite opponents for a chance at the final, I'll be dreaming of a win all the way up the jubilee in a couple of hours. Come on people it's Chelsea, it's the cup semi final at wembley, it's real!

Butterflies in the stomach, scared, hesitant, threatening, worried, excited.

But enough about my journey to get a kebab last night, let's beat Chelsea shall we?

 

[alfiespurs]

I thing we no real centrebacks - I see Chelsea winning. Why? Much stronger mentally. 3-1 chavski

 

[Gbspurs]

Has the feeling of a final this one.

Will be setting off shortly! Not feeling overly optimistic! Probably our recent records in FA cup semi finals as well as our current form has a lot to do with that.

 

[hoodlum]

Best lineup to control possession please. Sandro has to be in tho. Will need his head for defending corners.

 

[pistolP]

About to set off to Wembley from North london.
Come on Mighty Spurs.

 

[Adamspurs]

Nervous! Would love to see us in an FA Cup final and to feel the magic of it, wasn't even one when we made it there in '91 so I've never experienced one.

German Free TV "Sport1" shows FA Cup live. Saturday whole game today at least 2nd half starting 8.15 pm german time

I'm starting to feel really fucking nervous now! Worried about the centre backs situation. We're threadbare back there. That could cost us.

But what the hell, let's go give this a go! COYMFS!

It's not like that any more. I miss those days, it was overhyped but everyone seemed interested. Either way we need to acknowledge one thing, Champions league money gives us more chance of winning more FA cups, winning cups doesn't give us more chance of winning more cups.

Currently in the green man. Brazil is in here

Just having a couple of nerve relaxing guiness' at my cricket club before I make the short journey to the stadium, it's taken a while for me to get into this but now the thought of losing doesn't bear thinking of.

Love the Fa Cup, loved the Champions League, I won't be satisfied unless we get both. Coys.
