Easter lunch with family:

No 3 sister: That was a nice match for your team, yesterday, wasn't it.

Me: It f**king wasn't, did you watch the match?

No 3 sister: Nah, it was too boring, do they know what they're doing?

Me: No, not for the past 3 years they don't.

No 2 sister: Can you buy your 18th mug when they win something?

Me: My 19th mug, and no, we won't win something and even if we do, my Chelsea mates and I refuse to give our money to the owners.

No 1 sister: Why? Is it that Russian fella? Do you need more mugs anyway?

Me: Can I have some more wine, please?

I had expected you'd merge "my Chelsea mates" and "more wine".

And I even edited out the discussion on hairstyles.

Good day overall. We have a big win, and Liverpool and Arsenal are eliminated from the FA Cup.

If we can avoid Man City in the SFs, then we’re a good chance of reaching the final.

I would rather get them in the Semi Final. I don't fancy our chances at all in a final against them and I really don't want to see a 5th FA Cup final defeat in a row.

No, it isn't, it was good wine!

Leeds in the Semi Final.

Leeds yessssss come on

Gotta be pleased we avoided City though saying that the Saints may cause them a headache or two yet Leeds will be a real match and we will need to play well to progress.

Really?

If we get through we have to face City. No way one a large wembley pitch saints stand a chance vs them. Nor does Roseinor against Pep in a final.

Personally I’d have preferred City in the semi.

Agreed.o

Either knock them out or go out, don't lose the final.

Preference was saints and then Leeds in the final. They could have beaten City too.

I understand where fansare coming from, but I'm glad we get the chance to knock one of our most hated teams out, bring on dirty Leeds.

I'm with @dermott : booze and ciggies is the best combo ever. In a beer garden with good company it even makes life worthwhile!

Sorry @Liam ....

I wholeheartedly agree. Smokers are the most interesting company probably because we are in touch with our death instinct

They get the same chance though , and beating them in the final 56 years on from THAT final. Oh that would have been so much sweeter.

Not confident against Leeds.

Lost to them at Elland Road and only managed a draw against them at home.

Just get to the final and see what happens.

Seen us lose them as favourites and win them as underdogs.

Then I remember just how sh*t we have been lately and can’t let walloping poor port vale change that.

Also asking lightning to strike twice over city at Wembley after Palace last season.. can’t see it.

On the bright side, Leeds can't score a goal.
