    The second of the semis. Spurs will be looking to bounce back from two league wins since early February, but have not been deterred in the cup. Chelsea may be looking to hold off as they take Barcelona on early next week, or not,

    Predictions? I'll post a probable line-up for Spurs in a bit.

    Hoping for a resurgence in inspiration and a 2-1 Spurs victory. Have a feeling it could go horribly wrong and end up four nil to Chelsea though :erm:

    Hmm depends on who Di Matteo goes with.

    Still I say a Chelsea win, but in ET

    Friedel
    Walker Gallas Nelsen BAE
    Parker
    Lennon Modrić Bale
    VDV
    Adebayor

    Reckon it'll be something like that. No Sandro pleaaase.

    This is apparently how we were two years ago against Portsmouth, how times change:

    Gomes
    Corluka Bassong Dawson Bale
    Bentley Palacios Huddlestone Modrić
    Crouch Defoe

    ..yeah, no wonder we lost. Bentley and Palacios with Mod on the left :teehee:

    It's going to be close, but I reckon Spurs may just nick it.

    Really hyped up for this, got a seat row seven behind the goal As as Spurs fan, I'm hoping we'll put our recent form behind us to secure an inspiring victory, going on to win the Cup and come 3rd in the Prem, but for now I'll settle for a win tomorrow! COYS

    Are you a ST holder? The Ticketmaster fees were a joke, £2.50 booking fee plus £5.50 postage :sigh: I'll just stick to my £1.75 per home game booking fee!

    Going to Wembley! Not sure where I am sitting but in the Chelsea area for sure! 2-1 to Chelsea I think.

    If we put out our strongest team and keep Bale quiet we should be able to win. It will be close though given we've drawn to them twice this season.

    edit: just realised Ivanovic is suspended so it's Bosingwa vs Bale. 2-0 Spurs.

    Feel like Spurs will win it. First 11 is better than Chelsea's but Totteham tend struggle if they lose even one player to injury. However, considering rockrunride's line-up, it looks like their is no injury to any big players and they should win it.

    I think it's just on ITV as ESPN weren't advertising the game yesterday, which I'm sure they would if they had it too.

    yeah on paper spurs should win this, but with bad form and an unpredictable chelsea side, who knows?

    Man, wish I was going. But this is my first season properly attending so I guess a cup semi would have been too far up the ladder to climb.

    For the love of god why is Bosingwa starting over Ferreira? He is absolutely dreadful and is going to be destroyed by Bale...

    That was a pretty awful observance of the minute silence, dickheads.
