Team to face Spurs: Cech; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Cahill, Fabregas; Willian, Diego Costa, Hazard. #CFCWembley

Cahill in midfield. That's......inventive.

[Whisper]

Cahill has never struck me as one of those defenders who can play in midfield. Bizarre.

[King Ellis]

I hope Liniker and Stoker meet up and share a glum looking photo where they shake hands under the guise of goodwill between two competing sets of supporters.

And then Stoke beats him around the head with a steel chair and lays a Chelsea shirt on him.

Nah, Lineker reveals he was wearing a Chelsea shirt underneath his Spurs shirt and it has been one big rouse all along.

[Gazz]

Chelsea are Lineker's 43rd club.

I'd still hit him with the chair tbh

JT!!

[Gorka]

Good half, a lot of attacking play. Unfortunate for Spurs, goal came against the run of play.

[brenchill]

Eric Dier red card. Have a bang on that.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

We're playing well. Real shame about the Terry goal and the refereeing generally.

I'd like Mason to be taken off and replaced by Dembele. I'd also like the referee to stop being scared of Costa, but I can dream I guess.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

My thoughts the entire half were that Spurs were playing better, so I was always confident we would take the lead.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

If our defenders are going play Costa's game and get wound up by him then they're better off letting Walker make the silly yellow card challenge on him and then sub him off.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

COSTA!!

[brenchill]

Are journalists having a bad pun competition when speaking/writing about Harry Kane?

"Spurs need something here... they need a..."

*Camera focuses on Harry Kane*

"... a HURRI-KANE!"

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

They've been using 'Hurri-Kane' in reference to him for months. Doubt there's a competition because I only ever hear that one.

[Baddar]

"Today, Kane simply was not Able."

"Kane is Able" is used every time he has a good game in the papers.

[Jimmy]

Two deflections but hard to feel hard done by. I'd say both goals were lucky, but Chelsea deserved it. Would have liked to see us offer a bit more, but the fact we made a final after the mess of last year is great. Really like Poch and hopefully we can bounce back and push for top 4!
