Have you ever seen any videos of him singing it? He pulls some weird ass faces

It is a bit crazy getting rid of 2 strikers though, we have other holes in the team. The striker situation might be the start of friction with the board.

I think Giroud won't get a new contract but I would be sad if Tammy leaves. I think once the contracts of Giroud and T.Silva expire we must get a new CB first and foremost, Tammy can still be a good player for us.

@Munkworth couldn't give a sh*t about this game, its all in the Socks apparently, eh @Malta Blue

City picking a stronger side that us imo. Really want that quadruple.

Not confident with Kepa in goal.

To be fair, and I normally wouldn't be fair to a skate bastard like @Munkworth the colour of socks are an important dynamic in a football match but I do agree his silence and his absence for the CP game (using a sh*tty excuse like work) has made me doubt his true affiliation.

Well personally have always preferred if we are going out of a cup for it to be in the semi rather than final. So of we lose today was just meant to be that way to avoid the humiliation that we got last season.

I guess we will see how much TT values this game if we produce the same awful attitude as the Sheff u game.

Why is Tammy completely left out again?

I think the normal blue kit with those fetching Salmon pink number for socks just, just might suffice, well at least to garner some response?

I was closer to that match than most of you armchair w**kers. The players feeling my physical presence nearby must have improved their performance levels.

No idea but we have 2 LBs on the bench

Kepa back in goal oh dear.

 

Tuchel has NO wins in 5 against Pep. Let’s hope it changes today.

Tammy left out of the squad. Makes me wonder if something is going on with him, or if TT does not like traditional strikers, or just does not like our strikers.

Imagine Tammy and Giroud both leave in the summer if TT stays.

Tammy's chance as a top Chelsea striker was done the moment Lamps had to recall Giroud to save our top 4 place and the reason why we signed Werner in the summer. His deficiencies are too big to be a starter for us. His level is a West Ham/Leicester.

Come on Chelsea. Time for me to open a bottle of red wine?

KTBFFH.

Tartan socks with plain white 1970s sock numbers.

Could take Guardiola  and Citeh completely by surprise.

Once I saw Kepa I knew it was over. Didn’t even need to who else was starting after seeing him. I get he’s started cup games but this is the semifinals not the fourth round. 

I know kepa isn't the best keeper but he isn't the worst either. He has kept 3 clean sheets under Tuchel and one was a league game against Everton.

       May be the lack of defensive structure made him look worse than he actually was under lampard. It's not like he was trash under Sarri.

Red wine with the football? You’ve just gone down a notch or two...

Hopefully but looks like no wins in 6 to me.

Really hope we win today, been a lovely day so far. 

- West Ham lost

- Had a massive bbq

- Childfree for the night. 

Just need Chelsea to finish it for the perfect day!

Enjoy yourself man, being child free is wonderful I imagine.

Alas I only have very strong beer I.e. 10% in strength at home. May have a couple of whiskies later.

However, if we win I may crack open a 12% beer!

Not sure what to make of the team. Kepa is a risk at any time, but this is a semi final. To play him in such a big game makes me wonder how serious Tuchel is taking this. Pulisic and Havertz on the bench makes us look a bit blunt in attack as well.

You need to pair your wine with our socks, white today I believe. If we’ve got blue socks you best get a WKD on the go...
