C'mon you Blues!!!!!!!

Roll on Saturday, the Everton Flag is out the front of the house already (And I live in London). Telly is programmed and I'm looking forward to a great game - real FA Cup passion I hope.

I know the Toffees are the underdogs, but they were against Liverpool and Man Utd so I'm ever hopeful

Thats what I will be cheering too. Dont care who wins as long as we get a good game.

I care, but I won't be as gutted as my son if we don't win, after all it's not expected. But I do have to support my team

Now that one sided Champions League Final is over lets hope for a proper Cup Final.

C'mon Chelsea!

I'm looking forwards to this actually. After Tottenhams defeat of Chelsea in the CC last season, it kinda shows the underdog does have a chance.

What sort of injury worries do both squads have?

Not sure from the Chelsea point of view, but Everton are still without Yakubu, Arteta, Anichebe and Jagielka and Jo is cup tied so some limited striking options - Saha and Vaughan, although Cahill has done well up front this season

Injury free, I've always rated Saha.

I presume Jo is on his way back to dirty City then, and played for them already in the FA cup?

Think I may have a passing interest in the final as I'd like to see a none top 4 team win it.

Thing is though, if Everton did win, does that mean 8th place in the Premiership then gets a Europa league place for next season?

Saha does seem to playing quite well at the moment.

Jo played for Man City, and with an £18.5million price tag there is no way Everton can afford him, as a club it is not being bankrolled.

I think because Chelsea have a European place already, it was assumed that Everton, even as runners-up, would take the Europa league place for the FA Cup and that is why the seventh placed team in the league got a place, in lieu of Everton's 5th place entry - so no extra place

Everton's injury doubts are gone, the omens are looking good
