Kaizero Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The press will be raping us tomorrow in the rags based on the result only as they've probably not even watched the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thank fuck for that. Played very well tonight but fair play to Coventry, they made it a brilliant cup tie. With Oba, Owen or Viduka on the pitch in the first half the game would have been long gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Finally! Dissapointed not to see Ranger though. Wouldn't have needed any extra time if he'd been out there. I hope to God that kid grows up to be a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Good game - some lapses in concentration but compared to some of our past performances against lower league teams I am well happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Well I'll get to watch it in 4 hours time, if I can manage to retrieve the remote control from the wife's vice like grip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Course all the plaudits will go to Coventry despite us completely outplaying them for the vast majority of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Away tie next round nailed on. I think Coventry did a lot better than most on here would believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Now that we're into the third round, who wants to bet that we're getting Arsenal/ManU/Chelsea away? Better to get them early when there's more of a chance they'll play weakened teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 haha, great game.. well done to everybody especially delighted with N'Zogbia, Milner, Enrique, Bassong and Owen of course.. the entertainers are back.. or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Can't wait for everyone to say we were shit tonight, when in fact the entire first half and much of the second was an absolute footballing bumraping dished out by our passing game. Yet miraculously they got one stunning goal (from Clinton Morrison ffs) and a header when we should have killed it off, Shearer-style. Sure we rode our luck at times but fucking hell so did they.

Kaizero Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I hope we'll get Leeds sometime in a cup. Be fun to completely piss all over them now since they were rather equal to us just a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Away tie next round nailed on. I think Coventry did a lot better than most on here would believe. The goal at the end of the first half was the fillip they needed, they got right in our faces second half to be fair to them. We were still clearly the better team though if you ask me. Deserved to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Away tie next round nailed on. I think Coventry did a lot better than most on here would believe. You are completely delusional. We bossed these idiots. They were crap. A couple of things fell their way and we still saw them off. Stop trying to convince yourself otherwise.

STM Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ratings ; Given-7 Did his job when called upon Beye-6 Slightly disapointing, didn't have his usual confidence today Coloccini-8 Excellent overrall, not sure whether he was marking for there second (need a replay) Bassong-7 Impressive debut. Looks strong, quick and decent on the ball Enrique-7 I liked today's performance, still convinced he will be a good future full back for us Geremi-6 Not great but worked hard for the team Guthrie- 7 Worked all game long, decent performance Butt-7 Simiar to Guthrie, not spectacular but kept us battling toward teh end Jonas-7 Not alot of flair or attacking presence but tracked back alot N'Zogbia-8 Did well on the ball all game long Milner-8 Our best player tonight, created most of our chances. Sub Owen-8 Scored a good goal once again to win it for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Beye seems to not be up to his standard from last season yet. Hopefully he'll get there. Thought he was poor today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Best game Milner's played for a while tonight like. Definitely looked better up top than out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
