Some pretty thin-skinned types on here tonight.

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

Ashley Cole is boring as sin too.

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

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.

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.

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!! :-)

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

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
