Have I just entered the Twilight Zone ?

Getting knocked out of the cup in the 3rd round away against Bristol City. Pissing down with rain , cops treated us like animals (as usual) their fans had a go as we were going in , the rozzers basically coraled us into towards the turnstiles. Whilst stuff was being lobbed at us , I remember seeing some younger fans crying with their parents , scared out of their minds. I seriously considered giving up going to away games after that , because of how we were treated. Not the cubs fault directly , but I felt pretty low because it was all too common an occurance.

No way , someone said you were all taking about me and you were the ringleader. I'm giving the MOTM to Johnny Bumstead for that great overhead back heel against Leeds.

Firstly I'd just like to say that I sincerely hope that all those families affected by Hillsborough get some sort of solace and closure after this report , we are all just football fans and people at the end of the day. @ Lewy , fair play to you for coming on here and being fairly balanced with your views. You must expect and accept that coming onto a rivals forum , you may not hear exactly what you want to hear. I believe every club has its fair share of idiots , and this twitter thing really is just a nonsense , I mean anyone can claim to support any team and abuse at will , doesn't mean that they are real fans. Looking after our own houses first is every clubs priority , whilst the chanting through the FA cup semi final you refer to is our problem , and one most of us are very unhappy with. The irony of that game is given the significance of the weekend it was on , gate jumping was reported again. Fools are everywhere I completely agree with you and I'm not interested in point scoring because that's not what this thread is about , but it might highlight what some see as hypocrisy. JFT96

DB , great post. I would be leaning towards a guilty verdict at this stage. They will use Suarez as a benchmark and given Rio's fine for his tweet I've no doubt they will look to re-dress the balance , which will ever so slightly placate the crusade brigade. The way this whole sorry episode has started , multiplied and continued is a slap in the face for common sense. Racism is a horrible thing and completely un-acceptable but ,the court case heard from those there , made a decision based on those facts and that should be that. As for the Ferdinand's , agenda is the word that springs to mind.

Given this .......... Paragraph 6.8 of the FA's own rulebook states .. "Where the subject matter of a complaint or matter before the Regulatory Commission has been the subject of previous civil or criminal proceedings, the result of such proceedings and the facts and matters upon which such result is based shall be presumed to be correct and the facts presumed to be true unless it is shown, by clear and convincing evidence, that this is not the case." I'm staggered by what is continuing , they really are a laughing stock , and IMHO are losing any remaining credibility , it is truly ridiculous. Just out of interest , did Garth Crooks comment on donkeys tweet , given his willingness to comment on JT at every opportunity.

Well fair play to Robbie for making that call , its one I was hoping for. If it doesn't work well I guess that's why I'm not a premier league manager in real life. but wil aways be in my head...........oh I could have been a contender , if it wasn't for the beer and ciggies.

Crap stream , but still good enough to get goosebumps when I seen Oscars 2nd going in.

I've gone for Ashley , not a lot to choose from.

Sorry not "drop" Lamps and Mikel , "rest"

Disappointed as we all are , was really hoping we could have overcome these mugs. My worry at the minute is have we improved 4 games in ? IMO no , Robbie has got to make some tough calls. I get the feeling Rambo is being played out there just to have him on the team sheet. Probably got to think about changing the midfield up full stop , I hope I'm not being overly dramatic , but I would drop Lamps and Mikel.

What is the point of us even playing Torres ? Its not a criticism of him , but another game goes by where we have given him no service. The so called "almighty" Falcao wouldn't get a sniff with us playing this way. I'm a massive RDM supporter , but he has to make a couple of changes at half time for me. Rambo off and Danny on , Ryan off and Moses on , get some width (small pitch I know) but moreover get some attacking play going.

At least we still got 11 on the pitch , for now

firstrowsports.eu , link 2 working for me. Ryan Bertrand , WTF !!!

Tony Gale is a muppet

Fox sports...."Chelsea 3 wins , no ties , looking to go 4 and O"

Player for player we should have more than enough for these. Granted could be a bit more attacking , but I'm confident. C'mon you blues.

He could have done a job at RB for us tonight !

I'm sure we did this with Mary Ellis and Torres , announced well after the deadline.

I'm very happy for all involved. Good luck Bison, come back stronger.

Got to say Mary Ellis must be wondering why he isn't in the team.

Completely agree with everyone on the lack of effort. We were appalling lets be honest everywhere possibly Cech , Cahill and Torres come out of it with a little credit. I hope they have a right good look at themselves , and an apology wouldn't go amiss , but I'm not going to get carried away. Get on the plane and move on.

Ah well let the piss taking continue. Look I'm as disappointed as everyone else but it was a one off game that , yes we should have competed in , but we got a hiding. Take our medicine and learn from it. I won't , can't forget that RDM and the majority of these players got us to this game and gave me the best memory of my footballing life.

What a shambles , we are getting caught with no attempt to make it back . The only player trying his heart out to get back is Cahill. Rambo and Iva just terrible on that right hand side. I'm not saying Falcao isn't good , but thats just too easy really. Its tough to watch this , but ultimately if we need a tough lesson then here it is. Still fancy us for 4-3.

Keep him he's got a a great bag of tricks and pace. Maybe if he's given a better run in the team he won't feel like he has to score a wonder goal or perform a sensational bit of skill everytime he gets on the ball. And he's way better than Welbeck.
