@wattle I had predicted it would make 150 pages by the final whistle...

But it only made 147. :-(

Imagine my consternation several beers in at a sports book in Vegas with a few City friends at the conference we were supposed to be attending but blowing off for the match! Was horrible to see that thread when it was obvious even to the neutrals in the book that we were getting screwed over. Spoiled rotten with success; great testament to our talent and determination that we came through two men down to snatch that and great satisfaction beating the Deustche Everton. We never doubted (though we admittedly moaned that we should have brought on Sane sooner . . . :) )
 
Just back to the hotel and just seen both penalties on the highlights.

I’ve read a bit on here so won’t expand beyond saying they were both penalties. The 2nd was offside so should never have got that far but it was a foul and the game played on.

That said we were worthy winners and are essentially through.

If you have a moment, check the tags for this thread (at the top; @aguero93:20 let off a bit). ;-)
 
How can you possibly not utterly love pretty much every minute of following this club right now? If you can’t enjoy this, then give up - seriously.

This could turn out to be a truly incredible season. We’ve been fortunate with cup draws so far, but there will be some tough cup ties ahead. It could get insanely intense in the Spring.

Several of the knicker wetters are going to spontaneously combust during late April and early May (and hopefully beyond!) when we reach the denouement of the season.

De noue what you ment with this...
 
Still, let’s not mock dippers and their candles, or rags and their delusions, or match thread panic attacks...and then have a post match thread of conspiracy theorists and martyrs like that.

and that's where you can separate the proper blues from the knicker wetters!

11 years ago I just wanted us to get to a league cup final! that was my dream!

Anything now is just a bonus!

You're wrong on both penalties, as the laws of the game are today.....

Me too, mate. I’d given up on seeing us win anything. I think the away quarter final in 2007 at Blackburn (when blues turned on blues) did it for me. After that, I thought we would always capitulate at some point in a cup run (which is all we could ever realistically win back then)

Can wet knickers spontaneously combust ? As you say what a time to be a blue, can’t wait for Wembley.

I don't really have a problem with your view, but I would like to add that had the boot been on the other foot, we wouldn't have got either one.

That was such a low point! we honestly thought we would win that day. Same against Middlesborough in 97 (i think) when that dirty twat Festa scored, after he should have been sent off!

I remember being late for the kick off of that Boro game. Got stuck in Hazel Grove. Didn’t Jorginho score as well? Ian Brightwell had a perfectly good goal disallowed iirc.
