[Storts]

Not sure if we can actually field a team.

Wouldn't have given Chelsea a shout here but really they should be looking at this as a winnable tie with Kane and Son missing for Spurs.

And Alli and Lucas both injured.

Their only proper attacking players would be Llorente, Lamela and Eriksen.

Chelsea should smash us.

We've won once at SB since 1989. We have no Kane, no Son and now no Alli which is massive because he always scores against them.

Any other time I might agree that we would at least put up a decent fight but this side lacks fighting spirit, we have no firepower and continue to leak goals.. Spurs have one foot in the door already and can't see them throwing it away...

You're definitely old enough to know that we always throw it away 

[True Blue]

I like what you are saying Storts, but we need to score two without conceding and it is quite a feat for these winners on our pitch.

[Honey Honey]

Trying to out do each other in miserablism. What a great semi final build up

Our best hope is play for the 0-0. Could be quite a spectacle

[True Blue]

Drop deep let us pass backwards and sideways and have all the possession.

Don't let Poch know i don't want us to go out.

[Cicero]

Proper piss take if we play a false 9 again. 

[True Blue]

False nine, Jorginho starting, Alonso starting. Only thing i could see change is Emerson playing because Alonso needs a "rest".

Higuain will play surely

Just now, Storts said:

Would be a bad move to get him straight in, i also doubt he will sign by Thursday.

As if our board is capable of signing him by then. 

And even if he does, I don't think he is eligible.

They will. It's Tottenham.

And yeah he would be eligible if he's signed by the deadline Wednesday, why wouldnt he be?

[Marc]

Talk sport aren’t exactly known for thorough research but they were sayings he’s eligible.

i think for FA cup replays the player has to be signed for the first game, but a two legged affair is understandably different.

Yeah nvm for the league cup as long as he has signed midday, he should be eligible.

Hold up i'd imagine is Milan waiting to sign Piatek

[Storts]

Praying it continues until after the deadline tomorrow 

[Storts]

Looks like chelsea didn’t register him in time. We will still lose but hopefully means Hazard at false 9

Rumors are he struggled to get through the airport checkpoint because he is fat.

Oh, thats a relief.

 

I heard that he missed an empty door, and had to be sent back because his passport doesnt state he is specially abled.

Just as well, according to Blue and AMG we might have had trouble getting him on the bus anyway... 

[True Blue]

Like he would change shit on his debut. Hope we start Giroud with Eden and Odoi but we wont. False nine endless passing sideways and backwards my prediction 1-1.
