On the face of it a very good draw and route in to the last 8. That said, is there any point to getting into the last 8, when they will likely be... Brentford Southampton Manchester City Chelsea Manchester United Liverpool Arsenal Aston Villa On top of this, we will probably take the game to lightly, rest too many and get picked apart by Stoke and be the upset of the round as we so often are. Definitely a good opportunity for us to see some of the fringe players together. I would like to see more or Cornet for a start, if not before. I would also like to see BBD in a centre forward role rather than out wide. His goal to game ration last season at the Blades was exceptional when you consider how bad they were. I would also like to see game time for Edwards at the back and perhaps some trialing of trying KWP and Suga at the same time on the right. We should have more than enough for Stoke, and if we keep TD, AL and MF on the bench we will be able to call of some good strength if needed. Perhaps thereafter we get lucky again and draw Brentford at SMS in the QF.

All this talk about having lots of ex-opposition players, yet over the years I have heard this many times and never does it seem to get us 'Up for it' as much as it should. I have not really seen much of Bournemouth of late, although fair to say they seem to blow hot and cold. If we get them hot, we will lose without a doubt. I would also say if we lose, we are down and I will put bets on it.

The main difference between you and me thicko, is that i keep an open mind on ALL things until I see the truth. You on the other hand, and most dead heads on here believe what you want to believe based on boas and lack of intellect. It really is that simple. Keep an open mind. Don't just simply believe what SMS says or what suits your own belief system. Challenge your belief system and learn.

Really? I don't recall saying that? Do you believe JFK was killed by one gunman? Do you believe the twin towers were solely destroyed by the planes? Do you believe covid was ALL real? I bet you believe everything the media tells you, accept when it goes against what you want to be true and what you support. Hence you firmly believe Trump set this up. Had it have been Harris, you would never in a million years believe she set it up. This is why you people are ruining he world as you are so dumb and blind to only one view point, totally unable to see the whole truth.

Same old one sided BS from you. When u want to believe in a conspiracy, you do... but if anyone else believes one that you don't you call them names. You are a joke of a person.

I am gonna go with something a bit different. Ramsdale Suga THB ABK Taylor Downes Les KWP Fernandes Cornet Diaz

Here is that wonderful myopic view of yours again. You hate Trump, so you will be against him no matter what. Had this have happened to Kamala you would be effing and blinding to all and sundry on here now about right wing MAGA morons etc. An attempt on any persons life is a bad thing. Please find some humanity in your pee wee brain.

Aw, you really are hurting still huh. What a silly comeback. It is clear to anyone that he typed it wrong and fucked up, yet you want to defend him at all costs. How sweet.

Well, seeing as you clearly cannot read also, I will say it again. With all that superior intellect and your degree, how did you mess up that sentence so badly?

Ah, so, you did indeed write it totally wrong first time as I alluded to.

Your degree not in English then? Can I ask what you meant to say?

And lose we will I am afraid to say. With RM in charge we will finish the season on record low points and with one of the worst GS ever.

Well, it is more likely the case of the set up formation and tactics being used to shoehorn JS in that messes up other players. That is what I feel anyway. Let's be honest, JS is NOT PL standard. So why do we have to keep trying him and setting up in such a way as to accommodate him? That is the issue.

'Your powers are weak old man.'

Can't see us winning this, but we might get a point if we are well up for it and RM changes things. Could well be an entertaining kind of 2-2 affair. But as many others have said, if JS starts, we are wasting our time. He just does not warrant a start and we can do much better than him in any position RM wants to shoe horn him into. I would like to see starts for Fernandes, Cornet and Archer.

I am really struggling to see how we can avoid going down this season. I just cannot see 3 teams worse than us. This is of course based on RM sticking with his style and us conceding at least one silly goal per game. If he changes this and or we get a new manager who stops this silliness, then maybe we can stay up. But I am still finding it hard to see 3 teams worse than us. At present Everton look as if they could be one ... but they started like this last season and ended up more than safe. Leicester with no points deduction, with Vardy they always get goals that we will fail to get. Ipswich have made some great signings on paper, but will they gel and make the grade? Then who else is there? Wolves surely have enough experience in this league to top us? Palace? Forest? It really is hard to see 3 worse than us, but then it is too early to be sure as we have not seen enough of anyone as yet to make a decent judgement I guess.

Aww, going to ban me now are you? It would not surprise me. Basically, it seems on here admins ban people for having a different option, whilst they broke no rules at all. Not so much an admin, more like perhaps a dictator, yes?

Roughly translated as "damn, he has done me again. I need to stop these silly assumptions and learn to read slower and take things in so I do not end up looking such a dope'. You'll get there in the end.

You see, this above is your undoing. Silly assumptions. You would do well to stop with them so you do not look such a fool all the time. One does not need to be an intellectual colossus to outwit most on here as the common error of posters on this forum is reading wrong whilst making silly assumptions.

People who have a university degree and somehow assume that makes them more intelligent than others, of whom they know nothing about. I mean come on, how arrogant and in fact thick is that way of thinking.

Incorrect yet again. As I have said many times, there is little if any point to answering questions from the likes of you Tame, TD/Sog etc as you read things in a totally crazy way and miss the point. And no, I could not live further from an expat community being in a small town 550 KM from Bangkok, so you look rather silly again do you not. Do you ever get anything right?

Surely by assuring them of an easy tie, it is hindering them with fixture congestion as they are more certain to go through and have to play yet another game? There is no way this is anything to do with fixtures and absolutely certain that it is about helping them to WIN.

Once again, please learn to read things. I have clearly stated numerous times i hate them all and believe they are all the same side of the coin, controlled by the ruling elite. They all lie, spin and talk nonsense and make empty promises. Trump is no different. But I had to set the record straight many times as so many of you myopic types see only BIDEN or STARMER without realising your man you ARE backing is just as bad if not worse. Incidentally, while you are up for asking others questions, how do you fancy answering the many you avoided answering on here so many times?

One again, translated into "shit, he really has got us here and now we look very very stupid, so we best try and get away with it by trying to be funny'.

Another dope that cannot read. I was merely pointing out that he did NOT start the wars and in fact kept peace. That is a factual statement. Not one of support. Can anyone on this forum read things for what they are?
