We have chelsea coming

What’s your point ?

 

[manimanc]

I lasted literally two mins before switching off, predictable shite

So have I. Just said Ashley Cole won the cup more than us.
Can't help themselves.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Fucks sake, because Pep takes every competition seriously, and every opposition very seriously. He also like to go on winning runs and maintain momentum and rhythm. How many times

Every single time we play in the cup we get this. Aren’t people paying attention? This is how Pep has created a winning machine.

Some pretty thin-skinned types on here tonight.

Ashley Cole is boring as sin too.

Still struggling to get a signal on that Nokia that's still stuck up his arse.

 

[BringBackSwales]

We have chelsea coming

In 8 fucking days. We have an 11 point lead over them. Did you not read what I said in response to your previous post? 3 words - respect, momentum and rhythm

 

[ctwrd]

Strong line up.
Why risk seniour players and not play younger ones at this critical stage?

If we had a game midweek I would agree with you but we don’t and have a light schedule next few weeks

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Dunno why but I've been looking forward to this game more than other recent games

 

[discopop]

Like the bbc are really nice to us? I don’t think so

I would agree but he always came across as being a steady even presenter and I have no issue with bigging up a shock but he’s gone full **** which smacks of agenda

 

[Barcon]

Poogash: "Who's going to be the Swindon hero tonight?"

"Poogash" is exactly why you should always keep a damp towel next to the bed.

No need for the tonight ;-)

 

[Postman Pep]

I imagine the aim is to keep the rhythm from the winning run, ideally get a decent lead abs rest players on the hour mark

Is the correct answer. 'Normally' we'd be in the middle of a 2 leg semi final so rest and rotation would take precedence over keeping them ticking over.
Meant to post this 20 mins ago ..... nuance is lost on the pitchforkers

 

[Zapcity]

Ashley Cole is boring as sin too.

Bet him and Cheryl had some really insightful, intellectual conversations when they were married!!

 

[schfc6]

Bernie will have to rest when he retires

Or in the week between Saturday & tonight. Then tonight for a week till next Saturday?
I doubt he’ll have to cover the ground he normally does tonight.

They clearly all know more than possibly football’s greatest ever manager. Unbelievable Dave

 

[Octavian]

Haha they’re singing our support is fucking shit.

Didn’t we have 3 stands last time we played there?

@Didsbury Dave and @BringBackSwales I’ve got to the point now where I just roll my eyes and wonder if they never remember that Pep is the BEST manager in the world and how he got there!! :-)

 

[bluemoon32]

Dear me, they'll obviously favour them against us, everyone loves a giant killing.
We're the big old bad giants, it was ever thus in these types of games.
Just enjoy the game

 

[mat]

I bloody love the 3rd round of the cup and the way we respect it.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Booing us the disrespectful cunts, thank fuck we show respect to them
