I guess this is the question you are referring to..
So to get this straight, you're blaming your coach and reckon your team is sh*t... ie making excuses even before the weekend. Correct?
Not making excuses - just facing reality. Our coaching leaves a lot to be desired as I could document in detail but I won't bore you. Our team selection also leaves a lot to be desired, as you could ascertain by trolling our forum.
However, I'm making no excuses before the weekend. It's a semi and in recent times you have been known to succumb to nerves under the weight of expectation of your fans for not winnng a Premiership for so long - 1979???
So we'll wait and see and hope that the Gods are smiling (Dykes out injured, etc) and when we pull off the impossible victory on Saturday night, believe me, I'll be celebrating the win harder than you could ever imagine. That is the special celebration of the no-hoper underdog who wins the impossible victory.
Ask Balmain v Souths (1969)
or Sunderland v Leeds (1973 FA cup final)
And what happens to the red-hot favourite who suffers such a defeat.........???
