Big Geordie Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I'm feeling OK tonight. Heading to my dad's to watch with him, tomorrow - though may see if he fancies the club instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Massive in terms of the potential to inject confidence in the team again, massive for many fans, not massive in terms of a standalone game.

If we get beat yep it’ll be embarrassing but so what? We’re on an upward trajectory and in a few years we’ll be levels above. It’s not as if we’re going to lose to them forever.

Karjala Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Got a feeling that despite myself and many others having had enough of Miggy, it's just the sort of match he'll end up becoming a toon legend in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon? I’ve got visions of him ballooning a great chance over the bar from close range and then walking away with that daft grin on his face.

Decky Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Genuinely not one bit worried about this, I'm really looking forward to it. The pressure is on them, in front of their own crowd. Our lads know if they just play their game they will win. I reckon an early goal for us to crank up the pressure on them further and we go on to win about 5 or 6 nil. If they can't handle the pressure they're going to get absolutely battered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you will need to change your name to MrRaspberryJamTomorrow Losing an FA Cup would hurt a lot more than a bog standard league defeat. We haven’t played these in the cup for nearly 70 years - it isn’t a ten-a-penny fixture. We’re levels above right now - there is zero excuse not to go there and beat the cunts.

But if we do lose tomorrow I won’t be going to bed thinking about how we’ve not beaten them for 70 years in the cup. Just be another one to take on the chin and move on for me.
