FA Cup

[BunniesMan]

We're hosting the European champions 3 days after this game, that's the priority.

I'd say you're right in that it will be the priority but that is illogical. Being realistic, what chance do we have in getting through this round of the CL? At absolute full strength we might have half a chance with Ramsey and Walcott at their best, but in our current state? Unlikely.

We should see the CL as what it is. 180 minutes of an incredible experience, but at the same time a sideshow to the trophies we can achieve.

I want our 6 mids/attackers on Sunday to be Flamini, Wilshere, Ozil, AOC, Gnabry, Podolski.

I know. That's what I meant by 'whenever it is'

Whoever wins on Saturday night will be deserved favorites for the cup. Their subsequent tie against Liverpool will effectively be the final

Well Liverpool did it to Chelsea!

 

[saint.nick]

By strongest I mean the best possible XI, us starting Aspas, Alberto etc would not be the strongest.

Funny how you're not a Tottenham fan

Oh, I don't think we'll beat Bayern, no chance.

But we don't want to get humiliated by them either. Being competitive is the goal, because a bad loss next Wednesday has the potential to create a negative vibe.

Sorry I don't get it

 

[saint.nick]

Sorry I don't get it

Oh, because you follow San Antonio Spurs

 

[HowHigh]

Oh, because you follow San Antonio Spurs

Ohh right lol
Not sure why I chose Liverpool as a kid tbh

I can see Liverpool fielding a full strength team but making changes early in the second half.

Be interested to see if Agger comes back for Toure.

I would also like to see Texeria get another run, he looked like he can handle the pressure from his first run, so chuck him in the deepend against Arsenal.

We win, we advance and have a shot at a cup final.

We lose, we play once a week for the rest of the season, so there will be no excuse not to qualify.

A draw tonight would be the worst possible result for Citeh. They've already got seven matches in March, so to have to squeeze in a replay at the Bridge as well as their postponed league match would be rather difficult

As it stands they might have to play a four-game week to catch up like we had to last season. Should be an interesting test of their depth

 

[Jimbo]

Much better performance by Citeh this morning, they really should go on with it this year

Terry was a huge loss, Luiz is nowhere near as convincing as a centre back

 

[Mong]

Jose is going to be even angrier after that. :lol:

 

[Helmet Man]

what a terrible game to watch

 

[BunniesMan]

I dislike City more than I dislike Chelsea, but Mourinho losing also makes me feel good.

City v Arsenal FA cup final. FA please don't f**k it up by making a lopsided semi final like last year.

 

[saint.nick]

Bunnies man, you just got saved by Howard Webb.

 

[Jimbo]

Sheffield United are on a pretty good run

 

[Mong]

Cool story...

 

[Haffa]

Sheffield United are on a pretty good run

Yep, especially considering they have been so bad in the league that they could potentially be in League two next season. It is what makes the FA Cup so special beat Villa, Fulham and forest while losing to crewe, Walsall and oldham in the league.

 

[Mong]

They whinge almost as much as Jose.

Wouldn't it be a shame if they ended up in the 4th division.

They'll have a shot at another Championship scalp next round too

 

[t-ba]

Sheffield United can suck it. Stuffing Charlton becomes priority number 1 now.
