Simple as.

And dont give me any 'anything can happen in a Cup tie' rubbish

I have to go along with that BJD, this is our best chance to win a cup since the CL in the 03/04 season, in terms of the teams left in.

Hooray, I just won 50 dollars

You'd think with a team that has no injuries (except g.neville) they'd be playing better. Well it's all looking like last season again.

There really is no excuses (and this isnt a thinly disgused dig at AG), after all we can only beat what is put in front of us.

Pompey are a good team but we really should be gettnig the better of them, and other than that who else is there ? Boro ? Please.

We have to win it.

How ironic is it that pompy's striker dived to get the pen!! Karma's a bitch eh Ronaldo?

If we win the cup, the sale of Diarra will have worked out nicely!

Agreed, now that United are out we really should have no excuses not to retain the Cup.

If this doesn't rev our players up...

Teams left in the cup:

Chelsea

Barnsley

Portsmouth

Bristol Rovers

West Brom

Middlesbrough

Cardiff

No disrespect, and I am not going to say we're dead certs for the next round, but you probably could place odds on that being the final few at the bookies, even they wouldn't take your money.

We need to do this. Starting today, one match at a time.

I still want us to draw today, given the horrible possibility that the game on 12 April will be moved to Monday.

I want us to utterly thrash them at their place, because if we're forced into a replay, we'd just be supplying the boo-boys with ammo.

COME ON CHELSEA!

No excuses, no

No excuse.

BTW, we have probably just jinxed it. Back to you, Gem.

I can't Valerie, there are just no excuses.

Sorry mate, but I can't go along with that train of thought. Every lower league team will treat a game against us as their final! Just look at how barnsley are playing against us so far today. certainly true that we will be considered favourites, but until we reach the finals....if we reach the finals....then I won't be quite as optimistic

We do have an excuse if we're no longer in the competition.

SWP just lost the ball there, glad to see he hasn't lost his touch.

What have i done?

And we have a scapegoat !

Guess what anything can happen in the cup.......made losing to Portsmouth nearly bearable for me.

Would I rather lose like ManU, with many incredible scoring chances wasted, or lose like we did, with just a horrible performance? At least ManU can feel good about their play, and just blame bad luck.

Doesn't mean a thing Phillip - the pain is still unbearable irrespective of hwo you go out. Unless you are someone like Moos or Peeking duck who seem to be able to laugh things like this off then it doesn't matter a jot how you go out.

please delete this thread Loz. Its so depressing.

Dam you, leave it up for your punishment !

Ditto. This lose ranks right up their with the likes of St Gallen, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Viking Stavenger. If Avram Grant is still in charge then it is likely to happen even further.

COMPLACENCY.

The players suffered from it. The management / coaching staff suffered from it. And even quite a few forum posters seem guilty too

I'm gutted, but in a funny way, perhaps it is a good thing that all the "big clubs" are out prior to a ball being kicked in the semi-finals. Hopefully people might just take the old FA cup a bit more seriously in future?
