The FA Cup is small beer compared to the CL, chaps. Like it or not.

I'm sure Abramovich will have made it clear what the priority is-if there is a priority.

I don't think they have a prayer of sending Barcelona packing but JT and co. will surely have other ideas. It's not like they're a bunch of yellowbellies over there.

It doesn't matter what team Chelsea put out, it'll be more than a match for us in our current form and with our injury's.

Whatever team Chelsea put out will be trying to win, so what difference does it make about what other games they have coming up? Telling our team that Chelsea will be looking at other games as more important would also be telling our team they shouldn't work their socks off for the win. I hope Harry doesn't mention any of this kind of talk in his pre game speech.

I know we haven't been great but why does everybody give us so little chance against a team that we had the better of just 2 weeks ago? They are not better than us and have not been for a good while. We may not win, but it certainly won't be because they are a better team than us.

We need to play our best team, with Bale AND Lennon, in a 4-2-3-1 and go all out.

Looking at the signature of the post above me, I see "in the cup for Totting-ham!"

We have a history and a spirit to our club. They are a bunch of soulless plastic ****s. Do 'em.

Friedel has to start, no sentiments here, he is a class keeper. Cudders has done well, but we've seen his weaknesses, Friedel is as solid as a keeper can be so you have to start him.

I reckon we'll have the majority of possession, it's just a question of whether our defence without Kaboul holds out against Drogba/Torres and whether we can get past John Terry let alone Cech! Spurs win for me.

drop modric, play with sandro and parker holding, bale lennon out wide with vdv and ade plaing and we will win. modric cant do 442 and is not good enough infront of goal. sell him levy whilst stock is high, silva cost 25 m, and is way better than modric!

I think King/Gallas could put on one last masterclass.

Manager shouldn't have to even utter the words "run about a bit" tomorrow coz if our players can't get up for games like this then they're not the droids we're looking for...

We need to play at our tempo as playing a slow pace against the chavs is playing into their immobile, slow, aging hands.

think it's gonna be a slow morning/afternoon.

Some real heart in that 2008 team. King, robbo, woody, Zokora, Taino, keano. Just a few that we're driven and passionate (if not the most talented in Zoks case!) I would like to see some of that passion today. It's the bit in the tunnel before the match where keane is bouncing around like a caged fighter raring to go. Hope some of ours are like that today.

VDV will be up for it... as will Walker and Parker. Not sure about the rest of them.

I'll be doing today sober. Will be interesting to see Wembley in that light for the first time. If we win I'll never drink in Wembley again!
