Phew, a close one..........my nails are bit to the bone.
Spurs deserved it if I'm honest, but the Blues will win the replay

If anyone ever asks why you are a football fan just point them to this game.

I support neither Chelsea or Spurs but it was a GREAT match.

I really thought Chelsea were dead after the 3rd spurs goal and their defence was AWFUL.

But the Chelsea boss turned it round and got them a replay.

Both teams deserve a lot of credit.

Well we got away with that one!

Can't understand what Boulahrouz was doing on the bench to start with... would have allowed Essien to play midfield and made us far more dynamic.

has anybody worked out what formation we were playing at the end... looked 2-1-7 to me!

can see Spurs sneaking the replay, they seem to be playing a lot better now, especially at home. their striking duo seem to be on good form as well. Chelsea must be getting worried at the fixture congestion coming up, they'll be praying for no more injuries, though isn't it about time Robben was crying off with an injury, he normally does when the going gets tough!

Personally I'd like to see a Blackburn (or Spurs) v. Watford (or Boro) final, if only because it'd make a refreshing change from the Man Utd. / Arsenal / Chelsea / Liverpool domination of the FA Cup over the past decade or so.

Can't see it happening though - and the days of major Cup upsets a la Sunderland '73 / Southampton '76 / West Ham '80 and Wimbledon '88 are long gone.

I don't know... Blackburn will be no push-overs whoever out of Chelsea and Spurs go through. Middlesbrough my have blown their chance by only drawing at home. On the other hand, Man U still have the Premiership and CL. I'm not saying they'll be complacent, but Boro have nothing to loose, and it's their last chance of maybe winning something this season. What odds a Blackburn v Boro final?? I think I may go and put a fiver on it in the morning!

Was that you on Parson's Green I saw with your hockey stick on Sunday Ace?
