Beat them in the S/F and they may be in a crisis. No clean sheet in 10 now, Costa doing a donkey impression, teams starting to match up tactically and aside from Hazard there is little front foot creativity anymore. Some of their players look knackered and the emotional exhaustion might take enough out of them to fall away.
Have to say seeing the Herrera love in now I can't wait for Dembele to boss him in May.

I mean obviously we'll give our all on Saturday against them.
Southampton will be fresh to face them so hopefully Chelsea be a little fatigued facing them.
Conversely we'll have an extra day to recover over Palace as they play the Dippers on Sunday. Fine margins but ones that could work in our favour?
Hopefully we run them all over the pitch on Saturday.

And that could so easily have been a draw, imagine only a 2 point difference now.

Or we might not have beat Swansea, you can't think about things that way really.

I think the FA cup game will have massive implications on the mentality of either club in the title race, knocking Chelsea out of that and they only have two days rest until they play Southampton in the league, that will be massive for us.
Also, it's probably the one time them playing BEFORE us will benefit us, just heard Neville talking about how playing second is a disadvantage and normally I would agree but after a London derby FA cup between two clubs who are 1st and 2nd and us being the fitter and younger set of players, combined with us getting an extra days rest before a league game? I think that only benefits us.
I think if we beat Chelsea in the FA cup they will drop points against Southampton and Everton, I know some might think that is wishful thinking but confidence in sport is everything, imagine the heartbreak they will suffer with us dumping them out of the cup and the tiredness running through their legs after playing a fitter hungrier team than them.

Chelseas arse has fell out.The players and manager looked stressed out.Thats what happens when the chasing team keeps rolling teams over.They're obviously worried even after they beat City Contes face was a picture when he learned we scored 3 goals in 5 minutes at Swansea

If we pulled it off with that run-in, it would be something else.
All eyes on Wembley.
I can feel a Spurs Arsenal final. I'm not sure my pulse would handle it.

David Luiz has been having a few of his famous fuck ups recently, hope it continues.

Worrying from Pulis
"The difference between the top teams is the quality they have up front. The players have been fantastic this year, we have an opportunity to play some of the young players now too."
not what we need when it would be nice if WBA could take some points from them

I think the last 10 minutes of the Swansea game is a seminal moment in the development of our young squad. We should have walked away with nothing based on how we traditionally perform when things don't go our way, instead we scored 3 goals. No matter what happens at the end of the season, because the odds are still against us, that drive, desire and outcome has simply solidified the Pochetino template; football is running and mental strength
We bottled the run in last year and the game v the Chavs was the turning point. Now we have a chance to do them at the weekend and turn the tables.
Every game now is a cup final. No one wants to play us in the form we are in.
We can do this. If we believe, then the players will believe!
COYS!!!!!!
