THE FINAL - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea FC

The first final of the season and the biggest game so far - Spurs v Chelsea - Ramos v Grant.

Can Spurs upset the odds and take the cup from Chelsea? Its plain to see the best team on paper is Chelsea but the resurgence of Spurs has made them contenders for competitions like these.


The squads, team news closer to kickoff

Tottenham (from): Robinson, Cerny, Hutton, Chimbonda, Lee, Gunter, Dawson, King, Woodgate, Rocha, Kaboul, Tainio, O'Hara, Huddlestone, Zokora, Jenas, Malbranque, Lennon, Boateng, Taarabt, Bent, Keane, Berbatov.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Belletti, Terry, Alex, Ben-Haim, Carvalho, A Cole, Bridge, Sidwell, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Malouda, Wright-Phillips, Drogba, Anelka, J Cole, Pizarro, Shevchenko, Kalou, Obi, Makelele.

Will definately be a good game, but Chelsea will be too strong in the end. 2-0 im going to say.

I hope Tottenham win.

What time is kick-off, and what channel is it on?

Late rumours are that Chelsea are going with 4-4-2 with Drogba, Anelka, Terry, and Lamps playing.

THanks Yobbo, lets go Spurs

COYS!!!!!

Ohara close to tears at Wembley apparently upon finding out he wouldnt start.

Chelsea should win comfortably. They're much stronger.

Didn't even know it was today.

Could be stronger tho, Cole and Ballack should be in there for sure!

I hope he has felt pressures to play Lampard and Terry when they areshort of match fitness, huge letoff that Ballacks been dropped for Lamps imo.

Well I'm not a fan of Lampard but it shouldn't really effect the overall rhythm of their game.

I think Spurs will give them a great game, but just can't see them winning.

If they hold out for extra-time, who knows? Chelsea are modern masters of cups and finals.

Mark Lawrenson agrees with you though Jono. He feels that the changes Chelsea have made will effect them and Spurs will go on to win the tie.

Every one of our players will have to play out of their skin to win IMO, and we will need a little bit of referee luck too.

What the hell are they doing dropping Ballack?! Why the hell is Mikel starting?!

Ballack should be well ahead of of Mikel, and i even little lover boy Lamps on recent form.

Oh yeah Jono, got a stream for this match?

Anyone, help!! ahhh!!

The ones i've tried aren't working.

Im watching on tele but theres a boatload of links here mate, some are bound to work

Argh im so nervous, think im gonna throw up lol

Spurs have two chances in the first minute!

None of the English ones are working though. Thanks anyway.

I still can't believe Mikel has been selected ahead of Joe Cole and Ballack.

Oh and how is Malouda not even on the bench?!

Dominating the first ten minutes, just hit the bar.

Edit: and Berbs puts one just wide.

Gotta put one of these away!!!

A lot of good free kicks for Chelsea and finally they score.

What a [beep!] miracle recovery from Drogba after being shot by Zokora, arent the oscars tonight>???

Damn, the Drog strikes.
