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

King starting for Spurs, rumours of Tainio too.

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. Wink

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.

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!!!

Laughing Why is Robbo in goal? 3 free kicks from virtually the same spot, and on all 3 Robbo barely moves. Laughing

Can you name a better keeper in our squad? And name a keeper that would have saved that?

How about the guy that got you guys to the Final? As to who could save that, I dunno. But like I said, 3 free kicks, he doesn't move on any of them. The first one from Lampard would have gone in also if it wasn't for Woodgate.
