We're on a hiding to nothing really, If we win They'll say it's because they had no fans, if they win they'll be walking about like they had coat hangers jammed in their mouths 

If we win they can get bent. We'll be going to Wembley and they'll be going home on the Megabus to save money.

I think a bridge too far, Chelsea are just too clinical , and not as scatter brained as Spurs and MaN U ,  0 -- 3 , then a two week rest.

You know that I mentioned to having to play the top 4 or 5 in the PL to win the cup something totally unrealistic for us to do, it has never been heard of or seen before

Of course I think our run is over and that Chelsea will be the ones to beat us, they always do but give them a game worthy of  great QF and if we do win then hey anything is possible

We could play for the draw and beat them on pens…we are rather good at pens!

Nah I want to see Chelsea bleat about the unfairness of not having fans inside the stadium and that it is all down to SG😉

If by some miracle we pull off the win, I hope we will all be gracious about it and not rub their noses in it... 😁

Saul niguez has covid, can hope that it's spread throughout the team and it's not come out yet

Any advantage we can get.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, even though I'm fully expecting Chelsea to win, just a fun free hit with what should be a great atmosphere.

As with the last two rounds, I'll be happy as long as we score.

Been a while but will Chelsea invoke Covid reasons to postpone the game do you think after all there were so many games called off before for this reason

After the reaction to their attempts at getting this game played behind closed doors, even a club as tin-eared as Chelsea wouldn't try and get the match postponed at 24 hours' notice for COVID reasons.

HI DS, I think it’s extremely unlikely, I know they tightened the rules a bit after some teams were taking the mick earlier on in the season when all of those games were getting called off with minimal covid cases.
