    I know we aren't through yet but whilst we're still in the draw I suppose we can at least hope.

    Any thoughts/hopes/predictions for this cup tie?

    I personally think we'll get Everton away, but I wouldn't mind getting Bolton or Leicester, never been to either before and also a good chance to get to Wembley (our 3rd home after the Bridge and 3 Point Lane) can't be missed.

    Quite looking forward to the replay and I'm convinced we can get through, it'll be far from easy though as Birmingham are unbeaten at home in the league and IMO will be in the Premier League next season. We were **** yesterday and I feel Birmingham may have missed their chance.

    Never thought I'd say this but I'm hoping to avoid Liverpool and Sunderland. Spurs will also be tough but I feel they are more do-able than the two. At the Bridge in particular I'd never bet against us but if we were to get them I'd much rather play at home at WHL <ok>

    All hypothetical but we can hope I guess, realistically it's the only competition we can win as Napoli will dump us out IMO <ok>

    I don't think we could beat anyone at the moment. We are at an all time low. No team spirit, no leadership, no direction from the management ( Gourley and Buck )
    We are a shambles, albeit at a cost to RA of close to a BILLION ££££££
    What the ************************* is going on ???
    Is everyone mad, except me ????

    It's not you at all. I've been saying for a few weeks now we are a spent force now. It'll be a while before we get back to where we belong IMO. We need to rebuild and sort out the problems before we can even think about silverware.

    My opinion is that the Old Guard AND the manager have to go in the Summer and we start a fresh. With Hiddink now gone to Russia, it would be pointless removing AVB now IMO <ok>

    Even the mighty Hull couldn't win at St Andrews. Tough game for you.

    I'm of a mind we couldn't beat Chelsea Ladies at the moment! Actually-there's a thought! Would we be able to field Chelsea Ladies? If so--I'd be inclined to give them a go!

    TBH, we would have but for a fantastic clearance off the line.

    Then again, if my aunt had balls...

    Pretty much every team that has come to St Andrews has been outplayed.

    As several teams have proven this season, the best way to play at St Andrews is to park the bus and hope to nick a draw; Hull being the most recent example of this being successful, although luckily for Hull we played the entire game with no fit striker.

    I think it will be another close game, and a lot depends on if we have King or Zigic fit.

    What do you expect Gourlay and Buck to do?
    I bet if they spoke out you'd be on here moaning that they should keep their mouths shut.

    The poor performances are down to the players and manager.Period.

    They're responsible for a lot of our piss poor over paid signings. All the big money moves go through them and the only top class player we've signed since that **** Buck joined Chelsea is Juan Mata, possibly Ramires although I think that was Carlo's doing.

    Are you Gourlay's son or something? You got very defensive when I had a dig at them on another thread.

    Rearrange these words into the sentence I'm thinking of - Arse. You're. Talking. Your. Of. Out.
