Can I also make a case for attacking the Kop in the first half if we get the option. I know it isnt very popular, but I think we have to really go at them from the off. If we can hit them early in the match I think we have shown we can defend a lead for 45 mins.
I know what you mean. I have to talk and deal with quite a few Mancs every day, if we did get to the final and lose life would be pretty s***ty for me aswell. But its only a footie match which we will either win or lose. I'll be as strung out as Lee Evans on speed up to and during the game. But win or lose i'll be back to work the next day either buzzing off a wonderful win - or taking it up the chuff off the Mancs. Just enjoy being here, i'm sure there will be seasons to come with sod all to look forward to at this point.
My guess is the big striker, Putterill (sp) the tricky right footed left winger , the lad who scored the own goal and that little terrier in centre mid. Hope this helps
You are Gene Hunt and I want my fiver Mr. Mak If it all gets too much for you, just think of next season and try to think past next month. What will be will be - just give it your all if you go to the game. Everything else is out of your hands.
I must have been next to you. Worst ticket ever. Was it you calling the fella in front a k****ead when he refused to sit down at the start of the game? Ah well at least it means I have a chance of a semi ticket on my fancard.
Djimi Traore must be considered the master of scapegoatism. He was singulary responsible for our 2005 first half European cup final nightmare (amongst many others). He then moves to Charlton and immediately finds himself top of their scapegoat list. Now he is plying his scapegoat trade at Portsmouth. The man is a legend.
Villa's 6 3 1 tactics sucking the life out of the beautiful game didn't help. But then again neither did our "don't run with the ball if there's a suicide pass on". Get over it, move on and look forward to P.S.V.
at Talksport presenter after the game - after a few rounds of "youre not fit to wear the shirt" Barton goes and throws his shirt to the fans. Presenter describes this as a lovely gesture to the fans!! Is it just me being cynical or is that total naivety
Theres a distinct difference between Wycombe singing it to a no mark out of their league and the Kop singing it to "The best footballer on the planet" Come on mate have a laugh and dont get too tied up on this mystical Kop "code of practice"
By way of a bit of positive spin. I reckon it could be the best ending to the season after the takeover. As hard as it would be to stomach the fact that we would have ended the season in roughly the place we deserve to be - will mean the new owners will see a need to invest in the squad. If we win the CL or if we had ended up in a higher position than deserved in the league there may be an element of "if it aint broke - don't fix it" If, as they say, Gillet and Hicks are winners. I think we will see some serious investment if we end up with no medals this season.
In the words of Monty Python "You lucky lucky b******s" I couldnt get a ticket for the semi. I went to Juventus which was good and I was at the F.A. semi against Chelsea which was good. But the Chelsea semi just seemed another level. Hats off to ya
Win together, lose together, drink together, get in the s*** together, face the flack together. Thats how I would manage a squad of twenty year old footballers aswell
