Guest Brummiemag Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Don't care who we get. This competition means fuck all to us. Speak for yourself This competition means a lot to me and to plenty of other Newcastle fans, not least the 2,400 who went to Plymouth yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 There's a difference between the league being a priority, and the FA Cup "meaning fuck all". The latter part is a pathetic attitude to take, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak for yourself This competition means a lot to me and to plenty of other Newcastle fans, not least the 2,400 who went to Plymouth yesterday Perhaps I'll rephrase, we don't need this competition this year, if we were in midtable in the Prem I would think differently.

JJ7 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Don't care who we get. This competition means f*** all to us. How so? We don't need the distraction, league is priority, we don't have the squad to cope with the injuries we'll obviously pick up. And next year will probably be exactly the same when we're battling relegation. You could make the excuse to play a weak team every season. Fuck giving up. We arent a nothing club like Bolton or Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 It's not just two extremes. Because some want us to do well in the FA Cup, doesn't mean we're abandoning promotion plans. Getting back up to the Premier League is priority, but we'd be stupid to ignore a chance to have a decent run in a cup competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, I mean, playing in the FA Cup will automatically mean your players with keel over and get injured all over the place. Don't be so ambitious ffs.

JH Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Bar the final, there are specific weekends set aside for games. It's not like it'd be getting in the way of the league anyway. If our players can't cope with an extra three or four games, they shouldn't be f***ing professional footballers anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Knowing our luck, it'll be Chelsea or Arsenal away. But I'd love a home tie against Blackburn/Bolton/West Ham etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad Leeds didn't have that attitude, it would be nice to think we would be up for it if we faced one of the big boys rather than tamely accepting defeat and a football lesson.

They are professional footballers and it should be upto them and the coaches to get them fit enough to cope with the schedule. It isn't as though Leeds have great strength in depth either and they are in a similar position to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't gonna win the cup, a bit of a Cinderella run would be nice and I'll cheer for us in every game obviously, but I'd get over it pretty quickly if we went through this tie and lost in the 4th or 5th round.

I think you can cope with a few injuries. Granted, if its Taylor and Colo who go, it'll be problematic. But any game, league or cup, has the danger of injuries. Surely a few more games potentially, won't all of a sudden mean the chance of injury will dramatically shoot up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd out, Liverpool struggled to a replay against a struggling Reading side, we were frankly fortunate to get past Carlisle yesterday... strange things happen.

Every extra game we play will increase the chance of injury even if its a small chance it is still a chance. If we lost either Ameobi, Nolan, Taylor, Colo, Smith or Enrique for the rest of the season I would be fucking livid and think it would make a massive difference.

I wouldn't be anymore pissed off if it happened in a Cup game - the 'but if we didn't play, it wouldn't have happened' attitude - it could easily happen in the league game after.

Guest Stephen927 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 What on earth are we paying these players a kings ransom for to then go and wrap them up in cotton wool? Fair enough if there are 2 games in a week, you might rotate the squad a little bit, but if like FA Cup weekend you don't have a game until the next weekend, why not have a good go?

Heron Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 This whole fitness thing pisses me off - if we are fit enough to maintain a healthy squad of players through 46 games this season then surely it doesn't need to be any bigger for the Premiership although the quality may need to improve substantially throughout. An extra 8 games is required this season that's all - 8 so why all of a sudden because we're in the Championship is the F.A. Cup irrelevant? It's a chance to end a spell of 55years without a domestic cup and I for one would like to die knowing I've seen my town win a cup. £20,000+ a week and we're expecting too much to expect them to play 8 games more? They're the fuckers who got us in this mess, them and the fat cunt. Fitness my arse. This wasn't personal btw, I just needed a rant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
