Mate, we have played, Wimbledon,Newport, Rochdale and Swansea so I don't think we can moan about luck.

Totally agree mate. Didn’t mean we haven’t had an easy run so far, more that the same teams always seem to end up facing a key player (schmeichel) who has an absolute fkin nightmare just when you don’t want it. Just for once I’d like to see the big sides deserve to be somewhere on merit rather than largely there on the back of others fuck ups. We can beat anybody on our day anyway so yes, no point moaning who we got.

I don't need to grow anything mate, we can beat anyone on our day, but will we beat both United followed by Chelsea in crunch, high pressure matches?..I'm yet to see any evidence we're ready to do it when it really counts.

Like when we beat Man Utd and Arsenal in successive home games?

Mourinho will now pipe up about us having home advantage. And of course in the days leading up all of our team will be linked with moves to them in the summer

He can say what the fuck he likes. Fact is we beat them last time, we have an advantage and it’s up to us to deliver.

Not the same as a semi then a final against United and most probably Chelsea is it?

They were part of our 'season defining' month where if we'd lost them all we'd be out of the top four race, so yeah, there was a hell of a lot of pressure on those games, and the Liverpool away game and we bossed all three of them.

Note to management...

In the event of a penalty shoot out against Man U don't let them see videos of our penalty kick takers in action on a hand held camera while waiting to take the kicks.

High pressure games where we needed to deliver. We did. Sit down.
Juventus....have my seat if you want.

I have no idea where this baseless optimism is coming from.
I'm not one of those 'we need a trophy grrr' fans, I'm happy with how we're progressing as a club, but theres nothing wrong with being realistic.

Totally forgot Semi's are at Wembley.

Would have preferred them in the final - via s'ton - but bring the ****s on!

What's unrealistic about thinking we can beat Man Utd in a semi final having totally outplayed them a few weeks ago?
