Gutted - but You Won It Well

[Verbal]

Aye, saw them as we walked past. Looked liek they could have done with a slap.

I think there is a danger that we as fans and the players and club as a whole become so wrapped up in the "win it for Nat" thing that Stoke come and do their usual party pooping act and go and beat us.

I think that warning is right. If we keep banging on about destiny and Nat we're only likely to fire up Stoke more and Pulis and his lot don't need much "firing up".

Ironically the 58 final is a good lesson and case in point here!

I think it could go either way. I think as much as Pulis and Stoke will be wanting to crash the party, whenever we get towards the later stages of the Cup there is a feeling that at any minute we are bound to lose, the whole Nat thing, and the way the fans are getting behind the team (the atmosphere on Saturday was incredible-I have no idea whether or not the Brum fans were loud, because I couldn't hear them) means there is a belief about the place. That in itself both makes us more likely to win, and will also make it so much harder to lose when we inevitably do.

They were.. It was a fantastic atmosphere around the whole ground. A proper, proper cup tie!

[Prufrock]

I thought they were. They seemed to be on the highlights, but our lot never shut up for a second so couldn't hear them.

Birmingham is a proper dive like, went in two of the most beat up pubs I've ever been in, one was pretty much The Jockey from Shameless, but all the people we met were sound. All wished us well and had a decent chat about the game. Didn't really see any trouble itself, though there were a lot of kids with scarves round faces shouting at each other. Dicks.

WHAT. A. DAY.

Really hope the Semi is on the Saturday.

Because you can't make the Sunday?

As it stands taking away the whether folk can attend or not I'd prefer the Sunday simply because the Saturday game will either have a silly early kick off or a 5pm (or later) kick off. Neither of which appeal to me really.

Not that bothered I guess but would like Sunday then can have a day somewhere in or around London on the Saturday before.

The Saturday semi kicked off at 5pm last year.

It's gonna be very awkward for me to make the Sunday. I haven't resigned myself yet though.

Yeah its galvanised us somewhat....the image of Davies chasing down Curtis Davies for the penalty sticks with me, man possessed! But I can see Boris' point, lets not go all Liverpool about it. Keep it quiet, keep it Bolton.

Having said that I don't think we have gone overboard yet? We sang his name twice on Saturday and whats wrong with that?
