Does he not know sharing is caring?
Stop Hazard and that's 80% of their attack neutralized.
Really up for this now.
Can Chelsea lose two games on the bounce? Can we win 9 games in a row? What formation will Tottenham play?
I think it's absolutely key that we do to Hazard what Man Utd did and stick a man on him. Step forward Wanyama/Dier. You nullify Hazard, you nullify Chelsea.
I do think Alonso being out today cost Chelsea big. They had to disrupt their winning back three and move one of their players of the season to left wing back. When they should have just put Nathan Ake there.
He is most likely going to be back next week. Only player missing is likely going to be Rose for us and Courtois for them. Otherwise it's full strength.
No excuses.
But my god, winning 9 in a row in all competitions and Chelsea losing two on the bounce and getting knocked out of the cup to be denied a double could be fucking detrimental to their season.
Bring it on.

I genuinely don't get the hate towards us...
I'd have thought every club, bar Chelsea would be willing us on (or at least willing Chelsea not to win)
We are this season's Leicester, minus the 'Fairytale narrative' and 7 point lead at the top of the league...
yet some fans of other clubs won't let their irrational hatred/dislike of us get in the way of them supporting Chelsea for the next few weeks! What are they scared of, that Roman will hear about it and 'pop round' to pay their Family a visit???
FFS! We're doing the Country and Football a favour by pushing Chel$ea all the way... can't they see that?
...it's not like we're getting in the way of little loveable Leicester this time!
Not really the same though was it. They were ahead and slipped up. Literally. We were never ahead last year, Leicester simply kept winning their games. Unlike Chelsea, this year.
Is this the biggest game of pochetino reign as our manager and as a club our biggest game since Stamford bridge last season?
If we go by their logic, all the teams below us have already "bottled it", making them bigger even bottlers
We were top for about ten minutes when we were 2-1 up against Woolwich.
Nit picking I know, but still ...
For the first time since the draw, I'm actually glad that we're playing Chelsea in the semi.
Perfect time to demoralise them, they don't actually look very convincing on the pitch, and we'll likely not have to play against Courtois.
Oh, and I feel like they'd raise their game that much more in a final than in the semi-final.
...
Will regret saying all that come Saturday dinner time.

It's war! According to the Shed! Really o dear......
I have a feeling we are going to see another bit of Spurs F.A cup magic at Wembley. Our players are in top form and confident that we have already ended their unbeaten run in the last encounter. We are now 4 points behind them in the league now, after their poor performance at Old Trafford.
It's time for this young and talented team to cement their name in Tottenham's history books.
(Que the Portsmouth in the Harry days, No krispur61, this team is different)

I dunno. I think I'd still rather be playing the Scum or Shitty. We know that we can't rely on the Scum to beat Shitty and I would've liked to have beaten the scum at some point if we win the thing. Chelsea/Shitty are the hardest run, however one looks at it (not that it isn't perfectly doable).
I guess us being PL ever-presents with a fair few rivals and a (very) distant history of dominant success means we'll never be seen as a small club like Leicester and we'll never get the entire country backing us like they had last season. All I can ever remember is us being a mid-table club who my grandad said used to be great. For a Liverpool fan Chelsea winning the league is easily forgotten, it's just like business as usual and forgotten the moment the summer holidays start. Us winning it would be a stark reminder of just how fucking far behind their club has fallen and how it really is not getting better. If we ever win the league the fact it's us and not them is going to hurt a lot.
THIS IS NOT ME GETTING DRAWN IN TO A TITLE RACE DISCUSSION
Oh no its Millwall all over again. Hope they dont "walk around a bit" among the Spurs fans
What was their gang called? Chelsea headhunters they still on the go?
