semi final draw

[Blue Coop]

You can also argue that should it go to extra time, we have an additional 30 minutes to make the 'away goal' count in our favour. Say both legs finish 1-1 and we score one in extra time, they would need to score to to avoid being knocked out.

This could work in our favour if we can come away from the first leg with a clean sheet. Especially if we can take a 2 goal lead. You'd fancy us to score atleast once at anfield.

Sure the first leg at home would have been better, but would you back against us at the moment?

We may as well go all out to win this thing. After these two games it's one game on a Sunday in February, then that's it. No more distractions(CL/Europa League apart). Depending also on what we do in the FA Cup but I wouldn't be too gutted if we went out early in that as long as we did win the CC.

Yes the league is by far the priority but we need to be ambitious and go for everything we can! I remember the days when we couldn't pick and choose the trophies to win, we just had to make do with fuck all every year.

I think thats a great draw!

We can beat those fookers over two legs and then theres nothing stopping us from lifting our 2nd trophy in successive seasons!

Rag-like arrogance creeping in again, there'll be a team to play and beat if we get to the final.

Not really. We would be more than likley at the top of the prem having broken just about every record in the book and playing a championship team.

Sorry, but however you look at it the we are the better team by some distance and therfore, although nothing is a foregone conclusion, id hedge by bets at a city win.

Come on! Bit of optimism never hurt anyone!

Happy with that, got more chance with beating them over two legs than one with their first team against our 2nd string which is should be.

1st - sunderland away
3rd - liverpool home
7th - fa cup
10th - first leg
16th - wigan away
22nd - spurs home
25th - 2nd leg

7 games in 25 days, or 8 with an FA Cup replay, with no Yaya, Kolo and maybe Razak.

Alarmed to hear McInally say live on air to Yorke 'watch that warm one', just as Yorke was reaching in to pull us out. Mmmmmm hint of fix.

Don't think there is any away goal in the league cup mate, a draw is just that, and it goes to penalties.

 

[SWP's back]

Good draw that, we're better than Liverpool and 6000 at anfield will be a good piss up.

if bobby doesnt play a full strength team for the semi , i will thcream till im thick

 

[remember arthur mann]

The way they drew that ball out was VERY fishy...

Rigged draw, but we can still win, even if the 2nd leg is at Anfield.

Yes, McInally was like Chan Canasta!
