shit trophy, can't stand it ;o)

Every year I watch the final and laugh at the fans, they get all excited about going to a shitty stadium to play for a poxy trophy, muppets!

<ahem>

Just come up with another scenario. Beat Stoke and Chelsea, lose to Spuds or Fulham in the semi.

They haven't won away from home since October, their only away win of the season - 9 points from a possible 36. So yeah...

Get past Stoke Away and we're off to Stamford Bridge. Get past Chelsea and we deserve the Cup.

Mancini's beaten Ancelotti many a time. No reason that should end now. We beat Stoke and then win this and the cups ours!

It's your round, Mate. Could you bring me back a Pint of whatever you've been drinking.

Why couldnt' we get a result at Stamford Bridge?
We've already beaten them once this year, we have a manager who has played and beaten Ancelotti's teams a number of times and we have more than enough quality in the team to match and beat them?
Have some faith FFS you miserable bastards!

Do you mean 'faith' in the religious sense?

The Mancini Team that beat the Ancelotti Team was made up of Inter Milan players. Crucial difference.

The thought of Drogba, Anelka and Sturridge attacking our defence is a genuinely worrying scenario. Get past Stoke at their place and we face Chelsea at their place. It's like eating a bowl of boiled Cabbage for your dinner and then finding out you have a second bowl of boiled Cabbage for your Pudding.

I can see Stoke throwing this one. They won't see a trip to Chelsea being high on their priorities, especially when they have bigger fish to fry.

Am I deluding myself? Oh well, we can now concentrate on the league!

well, 2 away games at Stoke and the Scouce game should be good preparation for a trip to the Bridge. Im not giving up until we actually get beat. Two trips to the Bridge this season would be good for this team. Mancini has really got his work cut out and needs to get his head round how to get some midfield composure in tight battling games. We have to show our class, we do that and these players can beat anyone.. we know, we have seen it.
Where has it gone?
Mancio get yer skates on lad!, we are not beaten yet, we just have a watershed to cross. If we can start to click we can still grab a slice of pie even from under Chelsea's nose...

COMN CITY....

Sad isn't it. We're so lucky, we now get to sing "34 years and we're still here" and feel dead good about ourselves. Can't wait :)

pmsl, well thats made my weekend even shitter :o( Lets beat Stoke on tuesday and then the Dippers on sunday to really push for fourth now.

Just what we wanted an away trip to Chelsea (if we beat stoke) i swear this draw is fixed. Oh well we should just concentrate on the league, i can't see us beating stoke to be fair so we won't have to worry about the Chelsea game but if we do beat stoke heres are fixtures it dosn't look good:

Stoke (away) League
Liverpool (home) League
Stoke (away) F.A Cup
Chelsea (away) League
Chelsea (away) F.A Cup
Spurs (home) League

Yes cos Tevez, Adebayor, Johnson, Bellers, SWP, Ireland, Barry and Vieira are shit aren't they?

Al I can say is that its a good job the players dont have the same negative, depressive attitude as the fans cos we'd get a kick in every week if they did!

That's what I was thinking mate, it's going to be a very tough few weeks. If we get passed Stoke away after playing Stoke away, we then have the sublime of playing Chelsea away after playing Chelsea away. Luckily though, we have two comparitively easy games to give the guys a lift!

The spuds game will move if we or them get to Quarters but would still be tough few games but you never know we might raise our game against dippers and chelsea ;o)

Reading the Stoke fans reaction to the draw, they think Tony Pulis will play a second string team against us in the replay and concentrate on the League rather that the cup.

If we're ever going to win a knockout trophy we have to beat these teams at some stage of the competition

I don't mind playing these teams, like you say we have to beat them somtime in the cup it's just that run in thats bothering me i think were really gonna struggle for 4th with games like that coming up.

We'll dick Chelsea, just like we did in December.

Piece of piss.

It doesn't mean we can't do it but it does mean we're a lot less likely to, so for that reason, I'd now prioritise the next two league games over the FA Cup game.

If we do get through, I think we should stick Ade & RSC on Terry & Carvalho, with Tevez behind then bring on Bellamy after about an hour & run the old bastard ragged. Leave all the misunderstood artists at home.
