    personally, i am just really happy that the players appear to enjoy being on the pitch together, we get to see some attacking football and they get to see a cracking atmosphere while improving their own stock they improve us... win/win.

    let's face it, we have endured some dire stuff on the pitch and i am just gonna enjoy the fecker right now.

    In that weird position of wanting the peasants to win tonight on the off chance we draw them next round.

    I’d love to turn them over as a League One club.

    They’d be huge favourites, all pressure on them. It would be a good occasion no doubt, but I’d rather avoid them.

    Do you wake up on a morning and think you must be in a parallel universe?

    I dunno late. They really are ****e and we’d raise our game.

    Even if we lost, we’d have the ‘we’re League One’ card.

    But if we won, we’d fine out on that for years.

    Game as a badger me.

    I'd go for that mate, preferably at their place so I can do the CS - SJP walk <party>

    Some of my best memories are from SJP and beating them would really screw with their minds.

    The pressure on Bruce would be enormous and he'd be absolutely hilarious in the pre-game interviews ...

    I want it to happen me like. Yeah we may lose but it wouldn’t kill us like normal. They are Premier League.

    If we win though, like I say, would be something that.

    would you care to attempt to explain your reasoning behind that question...or will you do the 'usual' and just ignore it?

    I would jump back into bed and get out the other side, obviously you had a bad pint last night, I think you have me mixed up with Monty mate.
    Anyway I will try again, After watching Sunderland for many years delivering s hit and now they are playing superb and coming back from a 88th minute goal, do you think you have woke up in a parallel universe. don’t think I can write it much simpler.<cheers>

    first, i have not had a drink (alcohol) in over 15 years, second, i am not mixing you up with anyone...please note i said 'the usual' not 'your usual' as it seems to be a trend these days for someone to jump in with some irrelevant comment and then not bother to reply to any related comments.

    now that you have added some context to your post i can see the relevance and now feel that i can reply...no.

    ;)
