This game for Chelsea is sandwiched between United at Old Trafford and Everton at Goodison Park - both games they could lose It'd be fucking epic if we ended their FA Cup hopes at the same time.

We were going to have to beat Chelsea anyway, may as well be sooner rather than later.

Kane is more likely to be available for the final than the semi. MC could have a CL match just before the semi and would have been a better option or the lowest placed team left in the competition.

Not having Kane is bad news whomever we play. Fair point about City, but I don't think that would factor in regardless, and Pep can rest some players against Southampton if he's concerned about the fixture list.

I don't really ever pay attention to the FA Cup once we're out, but the semi-finals seem unusually strong this time. The four teams left are who could very probably end up comprising the top 4 of the Premier League at the end of the season. When was the last time that happened? Where's a Crystal Palace or Portsmouth for the neutrals to get behind and be thoroughly thumped in a dead rubber final?

Oh bugger. Really fancy us against Woolwich or city. Chelsea are just one of those teams who seem to know how to get results in cups at wembley.
We are going to have to be at our best.
Hopefully city will beat Woolwich whatever happens.

Noooooo mate. As much as it goes against the grain, I really want an NLD final. Wipe the floor with them in front of a full house at Wembley. Obviously we have to dispatch the chavs first, but I'm enjoying getting ahead of myself here.

We have two cup finals to play. Win the first, the second will take care of itself.

Could be wenger's last game in charge too!
But If city knock them out then I can rest easy knowing they will be winning nothing this season. Yay!

Imagine finally putting that horrible old fucker to the sword at Wembley though? It is the only scenario where I would want them to get anywhere near a final...just so that we could pull their pants down in front of a worldwide audience.

It's making me moist daydreaming about it.
 
I have been saying that the perfect season for me at this point would be finishing above the scum and beating them in the FA Cup Final. Would let Honey Boo Boo's mom shart into my mouth for that to come true.

All we can ask for is a fair ref, no bad luck & the team give it their all.
No more injuries before the match would help too!

We have bournemouth the week before & Woolwich the week after.
& chelsea at wembley in between.
