Cheers, Maf.

Spurs quite with a fairly strong team:

5-3-2 Cudicini; Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Nelsen, Rose; Livermore, Parker, Bale; Defoe, Saha.

Why exactly does everyone hate Crawley's Manager by the way?

He generally acts like a banana split, belittling other teams- and partly a knock-on effect from people generally hating Crawley.

A Chelsea kit with red on it just looks wrong.

Agreed. I much prefer the ones with gold accents.

[Spindash]

Gold on a kit is a bit notrite. imo obv. They've had red trim a few times down the years. Apparently it's a nod to the Chelsea pensioners.

Yeah there's a list of quotes and stuff that he's said a few pages back.

Good result though for Stoke assuming they hang on. I actually thought this might be a tricky tie for them.

Yes, red on the kit is historical (even though we ain't got no history, of course). Last season's kit had red on the collar and looked pretty cool.

All Stevenage so far

[D_C]

Nice to see Stevenage putting up a good fight (my local team). A Chelsea v Stevenage final would be very odd for me, but Stevenage would likely win

Also nice to hear it being louder than the Emirates there, wait what?

[TigaSefi]

Did itv just commented that Chelsea are out?

They said they have a tricky replay.

[Glowy69]

[Mockmaster]

No, they just said they face a tough replay against Birmingham.

[Mockmaster]

C-C-C-Combo breaker.

[TigaSefi]

Why have spurs resorted to hoof ball

Why have spurs resorted to hoof ball

We cannot be expected to play our normal fancy dan football in these windy conditions and on this treacherous pitch. It is an outrage.

Seriously though, we need to start passing.

[TigaSefi]

Never understood that foul. Someone climbs all over my back and I get penalised ?
