It can happen, but we might be able to win if the first goal of the game comes in for us :pray:

I would line up like this

Jussi
Riley-----Wheater----Ream-----Alonso


Muamba------Reo C


Eagles-------Tuncay---------Ryo


Klasnic

Give a few of the fringe players a run out without significantly weakening the team.

Can any of our right backs handle bale?

They are issuing tickets, like at the Deli counter in Sainsbury's.

Personally given weve given ourselves a fighting chance of survival I'd rest everyone vaguely important for the ten cup finals we've got left in the league!

Considering it's an FA Cup quarter final on Saturday there doesn't seem to be the excitement there was last year.

I wonder why :/

Hi there

Yid in Peace.

I think the interest in the FA cup has been in steady decline for a while now & it appears to be going the same way as the Carling Cup & Europa Leage. The Premier League & CL are now, unfortunately but perhaps understandably, the be all & end all. Teams at the bottom just want to merely remain in it for financial reasons & those at the top want/need CL football, also for financial reasons. The fact that the same 4-5 teams win the thing every year doesn't help either.

Replying to the poster that says there is not the same excitement for you fellas this season, it seems to be the same for us. There are probably around 10-11k tickets left for Sat's game, although with tickets at a MINIMUM £36 (+£3.50 in ridiculous charges), a 17.30 kick off & with it being televised - it is hardly surprising.

Probably some complaceny from our fans as well (who should really know better after all these years!) who are saving their cash for the rip-off prices Wembley will charge for the semi. Never count your chickens.

Anyway, may the best team win on Sat.
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours but i think that God's got a sick sense of humour and when i die i expect to find him laughing

Good post.

I think the FA cup still has some romance attached to it, but last season the quarter final draw threw up a winnable, cheap away game in the midlands, rather than a daunting expensive trip to the other end of the country.

Though, we did take a good following to Fulham for the 5th round last year, but that was at £20 a ticket and the club (IIRC) put on free travel for the supporters.

This season, the only time we've had free travel, we've had idiots on board causing all kinds of trouble, so the club has (probably, quite rightly) shunned it for the time being.

Steinsonn did a job on him when we beat them 4-2. Agree with that kind of set-up, perhaps play SKD. Villa on Tuesday is much more important

Don't worry about Gareth Bale. He's been shit since he stopped working with Norman Pace.
