Think we all need a dose of Vitamin D and a quick look back at cup performances pre-2020. Vitamin D, SAD light and cowies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the spirit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would have been an even better post yesterday when the weather was pretty good and a few seemed like they could have done with logging out and going for a walk When the draw was made I thought it was a great draw as it was a chance to get straight back on the horse if we did lose to that lot, as opposed to having to go to the Etihad or Emirates, and if we'd won it'd be bouncing anyway, so likewise looking forward to it.

Up there with one of the most important games we'll play this season. If we're not chomping at the bit both on the pitch and in the stands tonight, then there's something seriously wrong with our team and the fans.

I’d be lying if I was said I was as up for this as Leicester in 22/23. Factor in the atmosphere is usually poor these days and it doesn’t look good. It’ll be a tepid game to boot, if the league game was out to go by. 9 degrees at KO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t bother getting into the semis because we’ve been a bit crap this season? Are we just assuming these bad performances will continue for the foreseeable and all? Why not just get into the semis and then see. Anything can happen. Bunch of absolute melts. Stop interrupting the misery fest, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great draw, Fulham are also weakened a bit by AFCON. Wissa starts, crowd reacts to the mackems result by roaring the team to a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fucking negative pathetic loser mentality ffs. What has our fanbase become? Exactly what I expected it to become after a bit of success. Self-entitled, spoilt bastards.

We have a new puppy in the family and between now and then all her poo needs to be done so I can pop her in the crate with the blanket over it for the match. She may need some ear plugs.

Geordie Magpie Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Tino Hall Tonali Woltemade could all probs do with a rest, interesting to see what team is tonight, probs can't rest Tino or hall unless maybe those goes to right back and lascelles comes in. With Eddie saying Wissa cant last a full 90 yet could see Gordon through middle but would rather Wissa starts and Woltemade to finish the rest of the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagSA Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 We need a stonking good, in your face performance to even begin making up for the shit show over the weekend. Wissa up top, and some fucking runs behind the opposition defence which Schar should enable and the headband boys watching from the bench. Anything less would entrenched the view that there some serious questions that need to be asked about this bunch, players and management both.
