Conte has confirmed Cahill was in hospital with gastroenteritis and says it is "difficult" for him to face Tottenham but Courtois is fit

Kinda hate to hear about Cahill probably not playing. I so want to smash them when they are at full strength - absolutely no excuses, if, ands, or buts.

Both teams will wear black armbands during tomorrow's FA Cup Semi-Final at Wembley to mark the sad passing of our U23 coach Ugo Ehiogu.

There will also be a minute's applause at Wembley to celebrate the life of the defender, who passed away in hospital this morning.

Minute's applause is a strange one as his life ended so prematurely. I would have thought a minute's silence was more appropiate but I would suspect his family were consulted.

Such sad news. I would imagine it has shaken quite a number of our players at the club given it happened at the training ground.

Don't rate Cahill very highly as a defender but they'll miss his leadership qualities and his experience. He's also pretty handy for them at set pieces. I think he's scored at least twice vs us.

Hopefully this bug is a little prevalent than they're letting on. They all look a little freakish at the best of time so it's hard to detect.

I think that they were perhaps concerned that given our opponents a minutes silence may not have been totally observed..

Conte on Pochettino's underdog tag-"Spurs is a really great power in English football. They are working for three years, it is the right moment to finish top for them.There is a moment you have to stop considering yourselves underdogs, I think this is the right moment." :p

Son needs to put in a real shift to help Davies against Moses and Pedro

Decent retort from Conte. Still one ugly motherfucker though.

Nah, minutes applause always better. Appreciation for the man he was.

Man for man we're better than them so I don't give a shit who they play. Hazard is only player who stands out and he's a mercenary play if I feel like it twat I wouldn't want anywhere near our club.
Costa lost interest ages ago.
We're gonna do this.
