You're going to have to attack this game. We'll see how that goes.

The article title should (i.m.o.) read " could face the threat of another cup upset on Wednesday"....maybe you'd better do a bit less talking Nigel!

can't see Sheffield getting 2 goals more than us - I think the Sheffield players might even be nervous after all the pressure on them to perform.

Not to be pedantic, but we do face the threat of a cup upset simply by having drawn Sheffield Utd (the only team we would universally be expected to beat)... if we were in a situation where we "could" face a cup upset, we would need to be in a position where we weren't facing one. Pre semi final draw we "could have faced a cup upset" - when we drew Sheffied we were immediately in a positon where we "faced the threat of an upset."

If anything this article is two weeks too late to print...

I hate myself too, don't worry, it's not just you.

This is typical mind games, trying to apply pressure.

I think we will win tonight.

Thanks 'Doc'; I guess the way it was said sounded like a bit of a threat....my "could", even though not grammatically correct was meant to say : 'back off a bit Nigel'.

They didn't beat preston at the weekend, struggled to a 1-1 draw, so I'll be a bit miffed if they gain the advantage
