Southampton was the plum draw, no doubt. We know exactly what to expect from Man U. It will be a low block and a smother of the midfield, we've played Maureen at Chelsea and now Utd. The good thing is our lads should know what t expect too, this team is slowly maturing, the one thing that it can't be accused of is not learning from past games/experiences. As someone else said Utd will fear us more than us them.
But year you would hope having played on the pitch for almost a season should give us something.
At RedCafe, a few minutes after the SF draw, it dawns on them: Who Decided Spurs could use Wembley?
Don't think Mourinho (as big of a dick as he can be) will make any mention of this 'home' advantage media-driven bollocks as he respects Spurs and Poch. However, if he was up against Chelsea (and Chelscum were playing at Wembley as their home) he would constantly moan about it just to get under his buddy Conte's skin. We'll see...
Just please Spurs get to the final for fuck's sake. Suffered enough of these semi-final heartaches to such an extent that I'm seriously considering not going...
8 is my lucky number. Although not had much luck with our past no.8s, Paulinho and Scotty P. Wish Dele or Eriksen would take the 8!
Fuck them both. Turn over United and chavs on the way to a FA Cup whilst also vanquishing both of them and dippers to 2nd.Yeah and we showed during that campaign that we can piss all over both Utd and Chelsea if we apply ourselves, which we will.
Both teams are awful, tired of everyone shitting their pants. We all want the next level and then sit there praying for Leicester in the semis and Southampton in the final.
I want big games, I want our FA Cup win to make a statement and want to erase the last few years of people crapping on our club by playing both these wankers off the pitch.
I hardly think Utd are celebrating the draw do you?
That thread says more about how far united have fallen than anything else. Can you imagine their supporters throwing a strop over us having a psych advantage under Fergie? They’ve turned to shit and no longer see us as a scrappy London squad....dare I say it, they see us as equals?At RedCafe, a few minutes after the SF draw, it dawns on them: Who Decided Spurs could use Wembley?
Highly possible and would make this season the best in my Spurs supporting life.Fuck them both. Turn over United and chavs on the way to a FA Cup whilst also vanquishing both of them and dippers to 2nd.
Apart from your draw for every round so far that is. 100% correct otherwise.Fcuking United.
Fcuking Chelsea
Fcuking draw.
Nothing is ever made easy for us.
I can't have been the only one to point out to you that Wimbledon, Newport and Rochdale were pretty 'favourable draws'? The fact we made hard work of those ties was our lookout... not the FA's "hot" balls!Fcuking United.
Fcuking Chelsea
Fcuking draw.
Nothing is ever made easy for us.

We played the 81 semi replay at highburyPathetic. Apparently playing the game at the home of our fiercest rivals is much fairer...
Regardless of dressing room, stadium etc..the big advantage is as a club, we dont have to travel. Many moons ago, this would have beem at Villa Park, half way, which would be fair. The other game would have been Highbury which would give Chelsea the advantage unfair. I cant understand why we cant get back to old wasys and lose Wembley as a semi venue and nothing would be fairer?
And what a joyous evening it wasWe played the 81 semi replay at highbury
I understand, I was just making a silly point, obviously not a clear one.Because Wembley holds 90,000 ... Villa Park holds 43,000 ... the FA gets a huge chunk of revenue from a game at Wembley, it gets almost nothing from a game at Villa Park ... all the FA people that matter are based in London that makes travel real easy ...
So Money and Convenience that's why .....
So is that good are bad ?**Long post alert**
Just went looking though all our semi finals we've played and saw a real random coincidence
