We got the toughest draw possible, they are running away with the league, we are playing at Wembley where we just cant win and we have key injuries who may not be back... really shit draw

yes we can beat them, but seriously cant see it - think that's our season done which is very frustrating

It pisses me off when we get to a cup final or semi, we get the big boys where as last few seasons when arse and man u have won the cup they have had lower league sides in the SF and Final. Spurs get there and the big boys are there their, someone clearly hates us!

Push for top 4 Spurs as without kane that be tough and seriously think cup is gone now :( hoped for Arse in SF and City in final - worse possible draw

In the last 6 games against Chelsea it is W2 D2 L2. We have scored 10 goals and they have scored 9 and we comfortably beat them in the last game. Our only concern is Kane. We need to learn to beat teams at Wembley for next year assuming we are still moving there. Time to stop moaning and start believing!

I'd be confident of our best team against their best team. There's enough games to hope that they pick up an injury somewhere along the line and let's just hope that Kane is back in time.

Doubt they'll get any injuries... either luck or Italian 'conditioning'

Yeah think a few of you need to grow a pair, they'll be just as worried about us after we outplayed and beat them at Spurs, we were the team they didn't want.
Rose will be back probably and I quite fancy Son running at their back 3 and causing them problems. Victor and Dem got the better of Kante and Matic too. Couple of injuries to their players wouldn't go amiss mind you...

Can we have a cheeky word and get them to put the Spurs wallpaper up again :rolleyes:

One other thing... with us being 'away' does that mean we'll have a different dressing room from the one used during our European campaign?!?!?

But we have a blueprint for beating them, so it will be interesting to see if Conte changes it up in reflection of that. Would definitely feel more confident with Rose as he has the pace and persistence to live with Hazard more.

It would be particularly shit for chelsea to win the double this year given what absolute rotters they showed themselves to be after downing tools like the mercenaries they are last season. We can be a force for good!

I am pretty sure that, given a choice, Chelsea would have wanted to avoid us in this tie as well.

Ok so Chelscum's games before the semi

Stoke away - come on Charlie Adam but needs to be a 6 to 8 weeks worth of damage to Hazard

Palace Home - Andros with a flying drop kick on Kante

City Home - No injuries - City are too soft

Bournemouth away - Adam Smith owes us one for his junior time at Spurs

Man U away last match before the semi - now that's the game - revenge all over it and I bet Jose will be revving things up for a sending off or two. I wonder if they will keep Costa out of that game to protect him?

We've gone through 4 rounds to get to the semis without playing a Premier League team and with Arsenal Chelsea and Man City left in the draw it was always go to be a tough semi whoever we were drawn against. Whilst Arsenal have had a bad run recently I for one don't buy it for a second that they were the weakest link left, if we had drawn them, they would be as up for it as we would have been.

On our day we can beat all of them 3, if we have a slight off day we could just as easily lose to any of them. There's no use fretting about whether HK will be fit for the game it's beyond our control we will have to wait and see the extent of the injury, who knows, maybe we we will have to learn to walk without the aid of a Kane, excuse the irony of the pun, and who's to say Costa and or Kante or Hazard won't be injured before the tie?

We know what we have to do, let's get behind them, forget about our bad record in the last 6 FA cup semi finals we've been in and give it a real go. On the upside if we win the cup from here on in it could quite possibly be our greatest feat in this competition, pulling off two great results on the big stage when it really matters. COYS let's dare and let's bloody well do it big time !!!

Thought the so called home team gets to pick changing rooms?

We've lost 6 FA Cup semis since we last got to the final in 1991, really hope that changes against Chelsea, especially as the last of those 6 was a 5-1 beating by them in 2012

Any chance Kane will be back for it?

Agree Steve, and over 180 minutes of football against them this season we ran out, on aggregate, 3-2 winners.

People need to man up a bit.

I'm assuming we will be he 'away' team given we were drawn second? I think using a different dressing room etc may help us?

Does anybody know which end we will have (hopefully the one next to the train station)!
