[diego_maradona]

Here's our team v Chelsea - Cudicini; Walker, Gallas, King, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Modric, Parker, Bale; Van der Vaart; Adebayor.

Just saying if he does. Brad's been solid all season, our best keeper and Harrys decided to be loyal to Carlo. If he fudges up Harry will take the blame. And rightly so.

Carlo deserves his chance, especially against his old club. He will be up for it.

 

[Kingdawson]

Arry did the right thing starting Cudicini.

 

[Roy1983]

Why would he? Much chance of him making a clanger as Friedel has

Come off it Mumorn! Friedel is our first choice goalie and you start your first choice goalie in an FA Cup fudging semi final!!

 

[Jordinho]

And here are our subs today - Friedel, Nelsen, Rose, Giovani, Livermore, Sandro, Defoe.

I've got a big feeling about bale tonight. Big pitch, against bosingwa, I think he might have an Inter-like performance.

I hope you're right mate!

I will jizz everywhere if he does

 

[Roy1983]

Subs Friedel Nelsen Rose Gio Livermore Sandro Defoe

Sod all attacking players to bring on then (Deliberately discounting GDS who won't get a look in from Arry.)

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

Harry's too sentimental.

Well, he's also bought and variously dropped or sold Palacios, Keane, Defoe, Crouch and Kranjcar (and Bassong?), so i'd say he's pretty hard-headed.

i'd imagine this is a gentleman's or contractual agreement.

 

[GLENROYID]

I told you all carlo would be playing. ITK

As long as he stays on the left we'll be fine.

Chelsea play with 2 defensive midfielders, I doubt either winger will have that kind of game because they'll just pull in extra cover. We need Modric/VDV/Lennon to make use of the space if that happens.

 

[GlennGoddle]

He needs to. Bosingwa does like to venture forward - plenty of space to exploit i think...

 

[Spaceman]

yeah i think bale will have a good game but can imagine him tiring badly

Exactly. VdV is often the man to benefit from the space

 

[GlennGoddle]

Really? He's like the fudging energizer bunny!

 

[diego_maradona]

I would say its one of Bales major assets. His huge reserve of energy. Phenomenal athlete.

 

[Bullet]

Cudicini, Gallas and King?

Wow.

Lots of experiences, but not much athleticism.

I am worried, sorry guys - but that scares me.

The wee freak Mata is going to be skipping and darting around them IMO
