I'm not nervous as I don't think we'll win either game. But that might just be me protecting my heart by being a cynic
Jose?

Same here got the In laws coming....all dirty Hull fans. Told them to expect lots of swearing....drinking and chanting...they think I am joking......... but...heeeeesssss oonnneee offff oooouuurrrr ooooowwwnnnnnn........I got the in laws around as well but my wife has stupidly invited them round at 3. They have all been made aware that I shall not be talking to anyone or paying attention to anyone but the game. Father in law gets it but mother in law thinks I'm joking

Nerves kicked in some time ago. It is going to be a BIG event at my place. Got some mates coming over and her indoors is seemingly unperturbed by the fact this will be a lads session. Or maybe I've got some goodwill stored up.
My biggest concern is that a loss could dent the momentum of this side. They are incredibly young. I dont think that many people focus on the fact that Mason, Kane, Benteleb, Lamela, Eriksen, Townsend and Dier are all 23 and under. based on this alone I think they punching above their weight. Rose, Walker, Chadli not a lot older etc.
This is a great group of young lads that Poch is bringing along. A defeat could be a shock for them. Then again when you are that age you think you are invincible and they could just grab the game vs Chelsea by the throat and give us a special performance. I just want them to play freely and with purpose. I am not going to be disappointed if we go down fighting. Would love them to win though. It could be the making of this team. Going to be an exciting time either way!
I'm having to watch this one at my wife's friends house. The friends are 'casual' Chelsea fans who thinks it will be 'a bit of fun' to watch it together with our kids and a light buffet.
I've explained that, rather like Obi-Wan, Spurs can't lose. Chelsea are a 'doped' club and, after spending obscene amounts of cash, they should be beating us nine times out of ten. In essnce, even if they win, I can still hold the moral high ground and sarcastically clap saying 'oh well done'. However, if Spurs win I will start crying with pure joy which always confused the 'casual' Chelsea fan who tend to lose perspective about what winning really means.
I have offended them before by telling them that their club has had it's soul ripped out when Abramovich rocked up. They didn't quite understand my argument but smiled nervously. I have been told to be on my best behaviour.
I've got low expectations, so naturally I'll end up disappointed.I was ok until yesterday, quietly looking forward to the next four days with little or no expectation.
Woke up this morning and full on butterflies!! Don't want to go out at this stage of the EL again, especially with the prize on offer.
Definitely do not want to lose to those tossers on Sunday, but which time my bowels will be a writhing mess of wet farts.
So how is everyone else feeling??
It does really wind them up too. I always have good discussions at work with Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal and Everton fans. However, I also have both a Chelsea and Man City fan in my office and we all just kind of ignore them. They get left out because whilst their teams bought their way to the table they can't buy the begruded respect and dignity of fellow football fans. That hurts them and there is nothing they can really do about it. COYS.That's pretty much how I see it too. Chelsea and Oil Money really should be 'winning' every game they play (unless playing each other), so any defeat to those clubs is virtually meaningless. Certainly nothing for fans of those clubs to brag about.
Wins against those teams, on the other hand, are a genuine triumph. I remember one newspaper describing our last cup final against Chelsea as 'good' v 'evil' and I don't think much has changed since then.
