I still can't decide whether them getting to the FA Cup semi-final is a good thing or not?
On the plus side (for us) it will mean an an extra game for them, and possibly take their eye off 4th momentarily, but on the minus side, it'll mean a re-arranged midweek league match there, which will mean we don't face them the Sunday after their Europa away trip... not to mention the 'lift' it will give them if they hold out for the win today and get to another FA Cup semi-final...
I'm just hoping for a Man Utd equaliser to take it into a gruelling extra time, during which time they all start picking up niggling injuries!
On a completely personal side note, the prospect of a Man City v Chelsea Semi repulses me, as it will no doubt be full of comments about how money earns famous FA Cup Wembley days out like this, and how we're all lagging behind!
Man Utd / Man City would be a much tastier game imho!
Would be nice to have a rest after the Basle away game. I'm hoping for Extra time and a win for Chelsea. Nice to see Cole has already picked up an injury too.
True... And we've hardly covered ourselves in glory the game after after our European trips this season...
Maybe Chelsea aren't the ideal match directly afterwards!
So does any one really care if Chelsea win the cup? I couldn't really give a fuck if they go and win it to be honest. From one perspective, the longer they are in the cup the more they will take their eye off the league. Benitez clearly couldn't give a toss about the league and is focusing on bagging a couple of trophies before he moves on in the summer.
So whilst I won't be cheering them on to win anything, the more distracted they are the better.
