Blackburn's McCarthy: No reason for Chelsea fear
tribalfooball.com - April 12, 2007
Benni McCarthy says there's no reason why Blackburn Rovers should fear Chelsea ahead of their FA Cup semifinal this weekend.
The Rovers' top scorer said: "We have knocked out Everton and Arsenal.
"When you have beaten teams like that you feel you might have a great chance of reaching Wembley.
"You get a feel for the games and you can smell Wembley is not so far away and it drives you on.
"None of our team has played at Wembley so this is a great opportunity for us all."
Even though McCarthy has won the Champions League with Jose Mourinho's Porto, he believes the FA Cup has something special about it.
The 19-goal hitman said: "The FA Cup has a great atmosphere and a great vibe. I play every game as if it's my last. It has been like that since I came to England." -
Sorry McCarthy but it's going to be a 0-2 Chelsea win for me and we'll very likely be meeting Man U in the Finals
Anyone thinks otherwise? -
Blackburn boss Mark Hughes has no new injury or suspension problems for the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
Long-term absentees Steven Reid and Robbie Savage remain on the sidelines.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is also relatively injury-free for the Old Trafford encounter despite a punishing Champions League tie in Valencia.
Midfielder Michael Essien came through the 2-1 midweek victory unscathed, but Dutch winger Arjen Robben is still out with his knee problem.

And with Cech blocking Terry's boggie back header, he really is the MOM for

can't beileve your comment then the baby face asssasin so many times came on as sub and score also very lucky ? i guess in your "view" -
ballack saved sheva.
how did he missed that easy chance?
if chelsea had lost he would have been blamed. -
yeah had sheva put that in at 2-0, i think blackburn might not have a chance back in..
oh well, lets hope he doesn't slip up in wembley.
