Grasshopper Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Imagine Remi getting us to a cup final - winning it - us getting relegated - remi better or worse than The Cockney Crunth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 This is a real bad situation a win would do the world of good, but can we actually beat them? WW at home, great atmo, up for it, nothing to lose. potential L1 team next season v potential C'ship team in a relegation fight next season not a great difference there lose this and the players & Remi will be shot with half a season still to go. horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won one 8-3 and the other 5-0 they battered us in the 8-3 defeat and only for them fading we ended up winning the game and then stuffed by Doncaster in the next round then O'Leary had a go at the fans after the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy needs to go and crash into the goalie so we can have a few shots at grandad! you do know this will happen and we will spend 90 minutes unable to score past him its the magic of the cup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, which is why losing to them over 2 legs was more shameful than the other abysmal defeats that Lambert and others have presided over across the last 5/6 years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because we were losing for part of the game does not mean it was nearly a defeat. Did we nearly draw with Derby when we were 0-0 at half time but ended up winning 6-0? Did we nearly draw with Chelsea when they beat us 7-1 because we equalised at 1-1? A game is 90 minutes.

Mantis Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Well, we were 0-0 with Arsenal in the FA Cup final last year for a short while so we very nearly won it. Edited January 8, 2016 by Mantis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Bizarrely I'm looking forward to watching this. It's a shame Traore is injured as I expected him to start this one. I think we'll go with a strong line-up (oxymoron for us at the moment) but drop/diplomatically rest a couple of players. ..................Bunn Bacuna.Okore.Clark.Cissokho ..Westwood.Gana.Veretout ....................Gil ..........Ayew.Gestede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
