SWP on Goals on Sunday... just said he hasn't retired. What a plank!

 

[Cosimo]

JohnnyG, FerrariEnzo and I are Wembley bound, anyone else going to the game?

oh bloody hell is this not on terrestrial tv?

 

[J-FRO]

Nope afraid it isn't CM. Off to the pub we all go!

gulp

 

[Duff-Man]

Chelsea side:

Cech; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Ramires, Cahill, Fabregas; Willian, Diego Costa, Hazard.


Cahill in midfield?!

Also Cech starting is a surprise, but certainly not a problem. Bit concerned at Ramires starting though. Would have prefered Oscar at #10 and Fabregas in the pivot.

Seems like a 'park the bus' setup.

Seems like a 'park the bus' setup.

i agree. we'll burn out trying to break through and you'll hit us with a counter

surprised no courtois. he gave an interview the other day on how he knows kanes shooting technique and how to stop him so i assumed he'd start?

 

[RoboCod]

Hope it's not a 1-0 bore fest! Came home early to watch this.

Strange comment to make. He didn't seem to know back in January.

 

[cm1179]

costa is such a nob

 

[Snax]

We are going to get spanked.

Dier and/or Rose to give away a goal. Bentaleb and Mason will offer nothing. Kane will be our only threat.

 

[nemtizz]

Good feet from Kane.

 

[cm1179]

off the bar

what a free kick though cech probably would've saved

 

[BaZ87]

You've got to be impressed with Eriksen's free-kicks. That's the first time I can remember him not hitting the target in ages and it hit the bar.

 

[nemtizz]

Yeah think Cech had it. Good effort.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

This game is going to be all about who takes their chances. Hopefully Spurs one will fall to Kane

 

[cm1179]

i'm watching with american commentary and he's calling eriksen christiansen. it's almost as annoying as townsed. andros townsend.
