Barney Yet another thread ruined :x

By talking about our up coming FA Cup fixture against Sheffield United in a thread about the upcoming game against Sheffield United and the FA Cup? There isn't a thread for it in the team board yet.

Old Man Andrews That is 100% genuine, I absolutely do not want Premier League football. I remember the last time we went up, it was horrific. Stadium full with Liverpool, United fans in the home sections, massive price hikes for away games, less games. I love the Championship, it's a really exciting league. Who really wants to see us get promoted and thumped every week?

But, do you want L*eds to be promoted? Before you say they won't be thumped every week, who is to say they won't be and who is to say that we would get thumped every week, we were not in our first season in the premier league. Please do not say it is a FACT, as your opinion is not one until after it has happened.

I don't want Leeds to be promoted, I just think they will be and a club of that size should be in the top league.

You've said this too many times before! When he's being an idiot, just don't respond to him. He craves the attention that you and others give him

To be fair, playoffs are quite unlikely now so for that reason alone this is likely to be an important match for us.

I'd love to be proven wrong though.

You crack on sunshine. Your posts are an excellent read. Concise, level-headed, and always full of sense and deep football knowledge.

Unlike you, I won't lower myself to name calling. You out and out muppet.

It can’t be the most important game for 5 years.
It must be the most important game since Tuesday,
You can’t win the FA cup without winning the 4th round can you ?

If Relegation is almost mathematical out of the question why not play the "FA Cup" team in the two matches (Wigan and Barnsley at home) in the seven days prior to the Sheffield United game and play the best eleven in the FA cup? This way the "fringe/younger" players will get game time, and give us more chance of getting to the next round.

How will relegation be almost mathematically out of the question in 5 games?

We're only 9 points off relegation.

I really hope this does get a proper big crowd, not some 11k travesty

Looking forward to it

At least the ticket pricing is good. Going further in the Cup will be a fair reward for Bowen's tenure so far.

Fair enough. May I change the first sentence to start "If we are in a reasonable position, away from the relegation zone, why not play" etc.

I'm with this view - would far rather chase FA glory, however unlikely than Premier League football............failing gallantly but being close to the PO's is Ok but not promotion............cannon fodder is not fun :D
