Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Let's be honest, 4th is gone. CL will be a miracle. FA Cup in the only realistic chance of any silverware this year. I say make this priority number 1 and at least get 1 trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I love the fa cup not as an after thought but because the competition means so much to me and i hate the way manure,the fa and fifa/uefa have belittled the oldest cup competition in the past. Id love to win the CL, who wouldnt, but the FA cup is a great trophy to win. I just hate the semis being played at Wembley and the fact that the final is now played during the season.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We should have our revenge for the Carling Cup final defeat. Oh dont, that still hurts. Although i do still chuckle when i remember them bringing out the commemorative watch after their win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Love the FA Cup. Winning it would reinstall the 'feel-good' factor around the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Barca game is MUCH more important. I know ppl are not giving us much of a chance but that is the game we have to go after. We have won enough FA Cups in the last few years and the Champions League is the Holy Grail for Abramovich.That doesn't matter, I don't care what Roman craves. I'd rather the club were realistic in what they can attain this season, where their most realistic hopes lie. While Roman will forever think that's the CL, that's simply not the case. We have a better chance of beating Spurs, Liverpool/Everton than we do of beating Barcelona & Bayern/Madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.F. 1,484 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If we win i believe we will have more chances for top 4, they will be fucked up + they are playing really bad in last few weeks, so must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin123 534 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 we must go all out for this cup, purs have been outplayed by swansea and norwich in recent weeks, come on boys this is our only real chance of silverware and with that comes a massive confident boost and feel good factor!

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'd rather avoid utter humiliation in the CL, than progress in the FA Cup.We won't be clinching a top 4 spot, so let's at least put on a show against Barca and bow out in style.It is likely that we suffer a heavy defeat even if we rest players against Tottenham. I think we proved that we are still a force in Europe by making it to the Semis, which should also increase our appeal to players we intend to sign in the summer. The FA is our realistic chance at silverware, we might as well try and salvage something from this season. I'd rather we actually win a cup instead of loosing only lightly to Barcelona.

The Rising Sun 711 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 3-1 to spurs. The players dont have the legs to win this one.No logical reason to expect the players to raise their game.... We simply dont have a specific 'game' style.Just get ball, get nervous, pass back. If it goes back to Cech, then he takes two touches and decides to try and make the ball touch the sky , which in turn starts the other team's attack.Mata cant run with the ball.... A few good touches of magic during the game, but the rest 80 minutes , being bullied all over the field.Drogba is past it.Torres is erratic as hell.Lampard does nothing for 85 minutes.Kalou is a Legend.Malouda doesnt fit into our squad anymore.Meireles is really not worth talking about.Ramires makes an effort, has no fine skills.Mikel hasnt improved over the last few years, and is the same player as he was.Terry can only put his body on the line so many times, whileCech makes some good saves, his positioning in goal has become quite bad.Our forward has no supply, Our midfield has no cohesion or tempo, our defense is devoid of communication and persistence.Spurs are not in form. They will still beat us. And outplay us.DOOM AND GLOOM!!!! What a Post!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Spurs aren't in good form and neither are we so this will be a very boring match and could possibly go to penalties..Once again the midfield and defense will pass more to Cech than to the three upfront.The only chances of us scoring would be either from an offside goal or from a penalty or maybe perhaps from a post/player rebounded shot.RDM will look forward to chewing gum to 90 or 120 minutes of absolute rubbish unless our players decide to play more like a team and show some real commitment and enthusiasm as they did at the start of Roberto's managerial reign.
