"it’s more difficult to prepare against Hull than against Barcelona" - Arsène Wenger http://dailycannon.com/2016/02/wenger-mentally-preparing-for-barcelona-easier-than-for-hull/?
I agree that Bruce did not set out to lose - anyone who suggests that's the case is either a WUM (Mr Hat) or just plainly wrong! I think what Bruce is moaning about is that, in his view, there should be no replays but extra time and penalties as in the League Cup. I don't agree with him on this as - although I think a draw was the worst possible result for us - a packed KC stadium for the replay (whenever it is!) will be a great occasion.
"The performance of the round has to go to Hull's Eldin Jakupovic, who was outstanding against Arsenal with 11 saves" - Harry Redknapp.

Hoping for an Arsenal win tonight as by the laws of football, that would make us better than Barcelona.
