Away to Shef Wed in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

 

Genuinely think this is a winnable competition this season;

 

10 PL teams have drawn each other (BRE-WHU, LIV-WOL, MCI-CHE, MNU-EVE, CRY-SOU)

Some of the others have tough Championship tests (BOU-BUR, MID-BRI) or other banana skins

 

 

If we get past Sheffield Wednesday, you'd expect us to be joined in the next round by Arsenal, Spurs, Fulham and Villa, 5 from the PL-PL teams above and hopefully some non-league sides.

 

The way Howe has the squad singing from the same hymn sheet means that whomever we field should be able to play the same style, which should be enough to get past most lower league sides, right?

 

Long story short, does anyone know where to park around Wembley?

I think we’d have to be 3-0 in the final with a few minutes left for me to start believing it was a winnable competition.

Sure, but this time we're 3rd, not 19th. 

 

We won't be playing this team;

And we're more like the squad Eddie wants us to be.

The stress of actually believing we have a real chance is worse than the sliver hope (over reality) when we were unrelentingly shit. Think I'll call on the power of prayer along with these fine ladies

We’ve had three cup games under Howe and been shite in all of them :lol: Sure it’ll come when the squad depth improves but for now, I’ll just settle with the League Cup

The secret to winning cups is to hit form at the right time. Scrape through then then hit form/roll the proper players out when it counts.

I like that you felt you needed to inform me of all that Dave. Some people got the joke though. And to think you used to go by the prefix of “Comedy”…. am now thinking that was more deeply ironic than it seemed at the time :cuppa:
