    I'll be in Czech Republic at this time, so hopefully can catch it at some bar.

    More confident than I probably should be. Arsenal last time out showed us that it's possible to forget everything that's gone before and focus on a true one off game.

    Would be great to salvage something from this season and the FA Cup is always a great one to win.

    Jose is a master in finals and Conte, well, isn't. I can't see us winning.

    I don't feel very confident about this one, it might just be because of the god awful season its been (not just for CFC but because the season was done and dusted by October!) that its left such a bad taste at the back of my throat, maybe I should just watch the Royal Wedding instead!

    This.

    The lack of synergy and will has deflated my expectations for this one. If some how we can show we want it more, then maybe we can win.

    If Barkley, baka or drinkwater start, I'm giving up on Conte.

    Drinkwater has been solid in his starts and exactly what some of us said he'd be, a great piece of depth to rotate but not a top end player. It wouldn't be the worst if he started but it wouldn't be great either cause it likely means a 3-5-2 and I think this game is perfect for a 3-4-3.

    I don't see us winning. But it would be a great way to end a very disappointing season.

    Honestly, my mind is already moved on to the World Cup... even without the USA :(

    Predictable line up from Conte. Just repeating the same garbage. Willian and Zappacosta should be starting.

    The teams
    Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Rudiger, Moses, Fabregas, Kante, Bakayoko, Alonso, Hazard, Giroud.
    Subs: Caballero, Barkley, Morata, Pedro, Zappacosta, Willian, Chalobah.

    Manchester United: de Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Young, Herrera, Matic, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford, Sanchez.
    Subs: Bailly, Mata, Lukaku, Martial, Romero, Darmian, McTominay.

    Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland

    How is Baka on the field? Play ********ing Willian or Pedro. United are going to press the shit out of our back line and not give them the chance to play the ball out. Baka even admitted that he has trouble with the speed of the game. He's the last person on the team sheet let alone a starter.

    Conte just asking to leave. Cahill gives up a PK or goal. Baka gives up a goal.

    Baka should have earned a PK against Matic there

    Not sure what Conte or our players wanted there - that wasn't a red under the new rules.
