Tuchel is very good in cup games and finals so this gives me confidence. Anything but a dippers win please!

Haven't they lost FA Cup and league cup finals under him?
 
That’s a rather underwhelming Chelsea line-up. They need to get a couple of exciting attacking players instead of the likes of Werner or Lukaku.

So Lukaku starts. Kovacic too.

But... why? I mean, this could be the 1 in 100 where he actually turns up against a decent side, but why wouldn't you pick basically anybody else?
 
Werner and Kante to come on in second half might swing it, if the game isnt over by then.
 
I hate cheering for Putin’s club. And this is one of those days.

Oh yes. In those days there wasn’t much football on TV, so even pundits chatting on TV was gold dust.

That’s why the saint and greaves was so popular.

I remember all the cup finals up to mid 90s, . If someone asked me who won it 6 years ago, I would struggle to tell u, but if someone asked who won it in the 80s, I could tell you Straight away.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

You managed to pick the only one we've won in ages. 2016 was us vs Palace
 
Surprised they went with Lukaku given his record in big games. No Kante either.

@duffer @WeePat @TheMagicFoolBus what’re your thoughts on the team Tommy Tuch’s should pick? You’ve given us three very difficult games this season and been somewhat unfortunate at times. I don’t think we like playing against a back three and wing backs.

Are Kovacic and Kante likely to play?

Kovacic probably not; Kante looks likely to feature at least, especially with 5 subs.

Agreed though that wingbacks can give you issues - think that's because the wingbacks can stick tight to your fullbacks and we are still 1v1 against your front 3.

No Fabinho is a major blow - he's been excellent for you all season but in particular against us I think he's been vital.

Kovacic is playing....
 
Chelsea have this one locked down. Quadruple nonsense ends officially tonight.

Looks like Havertz is injured. Shame.
 
Really hope Chelsea wins this....
 
Lukaku to finally pay Chelsea back for that huge fee and the expectations? Let's hope.
 
Have they deliberately dimmed the colour of this video about Robertson to make Scotland look even more Scotlandy?
 
Think I'll watch this. Liverpool winning this one doesn't have the same relevance as one of the big 2.
 
Does God save the queen turn into save the king once Charles finally fulfills his destiny?
 
Fair referee today please. None of the usual nonsense against Liverpool.
