Well this is an anti climax. A good day of sport, and now there is naff all on for two weeks. It's like the 2nd January blues!

Sounds like Shaw is in Mourinho's bad books again

Guy can't catch a break, he even had a shave for him as well.

I'd love to touch his name, but I mustn't.

Why have Leicester and Chelsea both been allowed to play in blue?

I can barely tell the players apart . It was similar the other week when Leicester wore their blue kit against West Brom. It's not as if teams don't have - approximately - seven kits each to choose from nowdays .

Totally ridiculous Tottenham should get to play a semi final at their home ground. Will be rarely rooting for Chelsea.

I think it's to do with the FA having to sign something which said all FA Cup semi/finals and England games will be played at Wembley for a certain amount of years. Though I don't think it really matters where the game is played as Spurs would be favourites anyway.

It probably as guarantee as part of the stadium sponsorship deal. Obviously it's don't to help pay off the stadium debts. But if people are passed about spurs having 'home advantage' then they will be massively pissed off if Chelsea end up using Wembley for 3 seasons as planned.

TBH this leasing out of the national stadium and giving free stadiums to London teams is giving them a ridiculous advantage.
