Rio Ferdinand has just said the complete opposite. He reckons the closer they get to winning all 4 the harder it’ll become. The pressure to create history builds and builds. It’s probably why it’s never been done.

Depends how long it took him to get back in.

Ahh shit. We’ve just lost the “gave city the hardest game 2021” trophy. Peps just awarded it to Everton.

Utd anyone? History repeating itself?

How dare you!!!! I was on the floor of my lounge crying when we won that. I even had a tee shirt made “stop the count”.

Exactly. It changes nothing as far as Ralph’s performance is concerned. I’d expect a reasonably competent manger to beat a lower league side in a quarter final, Mark Hughes managed it. Making out it’s some sort of overachievement is noddy club.

Nobody is deriding it, you plank. Merely pointing out that beating a team from a lower division isn’t that big a deal.

Careful, you’ll be told to go and support city.

Close the thread, and place Ralph’s quarter final wining trophy next to his “5th place in 2020 calendar year” one. I haven’t been this optimistic since Mark Hughes’ team beat Wigan in a quarter final....

Good professional performance against a side going through the motions, tellingly their manager said “two or three didn’t give up”. Without Danny Ings we do lack quality in the final third, but you can only beat what’s put in front of you. Djneppo took his goal well, but he minced around most of the game. Armstrong, KWP & Redmond our best players today. Let’s hope the focus 100% is on the semi final. These opportunities don’t come around very often.

Can we swap him for Nlundulu. Fair play to the lad, they were getting a spanking and he put himself about.

Continues? He was fucking woeful the other day.

They’re a bit better than they were 2 hours ago.

Why? We could do with a few rattling some bones.

Is this Redmonds “Villa game”?

Fucking Fred Kano’s circus at the back

Good job the forum is slow for me today, I was just about to post that Djneppo is fucking useless. We can’t lose from here, can we?

It’s on......

It’s on.

Stephens is our 4th choice centre half. What sort of standard do you expect for that role at a club like ours?

Except in nets it’s the exact team I wanted and posted on first page of thread, so can’t complain. I presume Redmond will play up top. The whole thing depends on whether we score early. If it’s still 0-0, or god forbid we’re behind after half an hour, I’ll worry. We do start well most games so if we can score, I think we’ll blow them away. I’ve a sneaky feeling Redmond will be MoTM. 1-3.

This year then, or maybe the start of 2019 season

Is that how it works, you have to choose? How about winning the cup, and staying up. In other words play your best side, week in, week out.
