It really is, I mean surely in 37 years you are likely to have at least one freakishly good run at some point.

Remember when we beat Chelsea 4-3 away from home in the league cup?

 

Then drew f***ing Arsenal the next round :lol:

 

That's the thing man. I mean, even Swansea. They got a tough draw in the Semi Final, but would a defender of a top club ever randomly just gift us two goals like Ivanovic did in their away leg and then have a 4th tier side waiting in the final for us? Nowt good like that ever happens to us. :lol:

Tbf, it might, if we could actually make the latter stages, as we don't, we'll never know

Even when we were good we usually went out with a whimper. Remember 0-2 at home to City being particularly meek.

coming just after the derby on the Sunday will cause potential problem as now NUFC and SAFC will want there home games on the Wednesday.  NUFC normally always play on the Wednesday while the mackems play on the Tuesday but can see sky putting Arsenal v Chelsea live on the wednesday night and us and Man City on the Tuesday.

Due a win.

 

Forget it. We can't beat them, not under this bloke, he tells us often enough.

 

We've beaten Man U and Chelsea under this bloke. You're focusing too much on a couple of shite comments.

 

We have a terrible record against them recently because they're a lot better than us. A lot of teams have a terrible record against them. Probably won't beat them, but there's no need to whinge in advance.
