Don't care about this cup but we should always beat West Ham, especially when leading 2-0 at half time.

Usually I'd say no I want to win this cup as it's the easiest to win, but not this season. Looks like Arsenal, Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea are taking it seriously this season.

Credit to WH. Good morale from their players considering their situation.

Don’t mind being out, but Poch should give them a hairdryer anyway. That’s not how we do things!

Whisper it quietly but I haven't been too impressed by Llorente so far. I don't know if it's his lack of pre-season but he looks slow and was jogging around a bit too much for my liking.

This was always on the cards based on how we were playing. All those flicks and tricks getting us nowhere. Unprofessional.
TBF, it is these tricks that we possessed that pry open defence. Just on hindsight they won't look good when we are losing.

We better win the FA cup.
Nah, we don't care about that either. The most prestigious domestic cup in the history of football is clearly below a team who haven't won anything for the last decade and a manager with a grand total of zero major honours to his name. We'll just use it as a series of friendlies to rotate and build fitness before we go out and get to watch Arsenal win it again.

His link up play has been very good but I'm not sure if he's had a shot on goal for us yet.

i was "meh" at 2-0 i'm still "meh" at 3-2. Its really no big deal - they scambled in some goals- thats all.


Ever thought about following rugby?
Might suit you better if you can’t get up for a game against a rival at Wembley

Well, this place went into kneejerk mode quickly. Which is a lot more embarrassing then the football...

Calm the f*** down.

I don't think there has been much of that. The comments are pretty accurate, it was an unprofessional second half and the team should be embarrassed.

We didn't have to do anything, they were beaten, just going through the motions.

Then we gift them a couple (why is there a man free on the edge of the box?) and the belief and energy flooded into them. And we couldn't change from the jogging mode we had been in.

poor but poch will rip into them like he did after Newcastle I'd imagine.

He’s never been the most mobile but he’s been a little lacking physically for my liking. He should be absolutely dominating almost every centre half physically

Ah well......

We haven’t had a 60-plus page match thread and several rounds of bickering for a while now, so I guess it’s strap yourselves in time. Don’t forget your tins hats.
