Utd with one foot into the Semis with Schalke!I forsee another CL Wembley appearance after the FA cup semi & final appearances, another "home" away from home!

1 - 0 is a slim lead, I'll give you that. All Chelsea have to do is score one goal and we are back where we started. And the goal could be from a corner, free kick, dubious penalty kick, own goal - anywhere. 1 - 0 and we are in extra time. 2 - 1 or any other win for Chelsea and they are through. As someone said, we should have got at least 2 unanswered away goals to make it really difficult for Chelsea.

Having said that I'd rather be on the winning side of a 1 - 0 equation than on the losing side. And I suspect there will be some sort of squad rotation over the weekend with the likes of Barbatov starting, Rooney probably on the bench (an unused sub if it all goes well) - depending on how his appeal goes, Giggs rested, Chicharito playing the last 20 - 30 minutes, Owen getting some play time, Scholes playing some role, Smallings deputizing for Rio again etc. It will all of course depend on SAF's analysis of Fulham. We obviously can't afford to drop points in the EPL.

Thought exactly the same.Drogba must have been wondering when the clown would be substituted with a supportive patnering striker like Anelka or Kalou kumbe he was the one on the chopping plans of the coach.

I'm certain that whoever gets the tactics right between SAF and Carlo will win that match and stand a great chance of reaching the final, assuming Schalke finish the job on Wed, not that they'll be a walkover.

I have a feeling that Chelsea want this more than Man Utd, it's the only trophy they have to play for and want revenge for the 2008 finals. However, wanting it and getting it are two different things.

Both squads are almost all in but boy aren't I happy David Luiz is not playing. This is one game where a blunder will mean the difference, I hope it falls for us. Any early goal for either team might be the difference too..

Man U - The players, management, fans and most importantly the manager - want this badly. I kid you not. SAF doesn't want to talk about the treble loudly but I don't think there is anyone associated with Man U who's not thinking about it. It's too close I can smell it. We keep our act together and the EPL is coming back home - we are in the driving seat. The biggest obstacle between us the FA cup is Man Shitty. We beat Chelsea tomorrow and odds are in our favour to reach the final of the CL. I have utmost respect for all the other teams we are going to meet but I have to call it as I see it.

Now we have five very personal games. The CL and EPL games against Chelsea - to avenge all the referee assisted "victories" of the past. Arsenal - to show them who's the boss, Man Shitty - Noisy neigbours - plus there is that cup drought countdown, currently at 35. We don't want to restart at 0. And finally Barca - That CL final defeat should be avenged with a loss to Man U in this year's CL final.

A loss to Chelsea tomorrow would have terrible repercussions to our season, it can't even be allowed to happen. It might cost us the FA and to a smaller extent the EPL. Morale might hit rock bottom.
