I can't see any ball dropping or cheating in that draw. None. Fair and sqauare - just how we're gonna win this thing.

Don’t be silly. It’s well known behind the scenes that Zola has special vision and can see through plastic/wood/metal with special “eyes” in his wrists.

Everyone knows this and that’s why the BBC hired him in order to conspire to lose us the cup.

Illuminati confirmed :peeking:

I'm talking about beating United, followed by probably Chelsea.
If it was just United I'd fancy our chances, but both...don't think we're quite there yet.

They're unrelated games though, and we already know we can beat anyone in a one off game.

Did I miss the round of Kool-Aid or something?
Of course we can beat anyone in a one off game, but this is two of them, back to back in the same competition, that's far from unrelated I'm afraid.
I'm just saying we're unlikely to win the cup.

Hand on your heart Riggs, do u honestly think we'll win it?
Not do u want us to, or on our day can we...

I just can't see it myself, especially so soon after we ballsed it up vs Juventus, that just showed me we're still lacking something mentally, and that was only a week or so ago.

We've recovered well from that game and we have done it in spite of losing Kane to injury, which arguably could have dealt the team a mental blow -I'm optimistic.

We've done well, but I don't share your optimism sadly.
I should point out that with predictions and general feeling about games, I'm quite often wrong...and nothing would make me happier than getting this one completely arse about tit.

Let's hope the team don't have the same mentality as you shall we ;)

You probably don't want to get your hopes up: perfectly reasonable. If we were drawn against Man City I would feel pessimistic but any of the other teams, I feel like we can do it.

They quite often completely surprise me, hope to god they do here.
If it was a one off game against either one I'd be a hell of a lot more confident, but both of them...o_O

if we'd been hoovering up trophies over the last few years it would be pessimism, but I think the term you're looking for is, unfortunately, realism mate.

We have, however, been hoovering up Premier League points which has done far more for our future than the odd league or FA Cup trophy.

Don't get me wrong - I want to win those too but us beating Man U, Arsenal and drawing away to Liverpool and Juventus in the space of a few weeks says more about where we are as a team than anything else.

Just look at Arsenal - all those FA cups in the recent years and they're gagging to be in the position we are.

They're not back to back games. There's a month between the semi finals and the final. Who we beat in one round has no bearing on how we do in the following round.

United fans having a moan about us having a 'home' tie. Taking my Spurs specs off, I do have some sympathy for that argument. Some of us would probably complain if the boot was on the other foot.

I'm going to use a quote that many a United fan has used before to me and others.

"Big teams deal with it"

I was told that multiple times whenever we got shit luck or awful decisions against them. They can have a 'disadvantage' for once for all I care.
