2-3 Away win.

0-2 down at half-time. Then...

Albrighton 56
Downing 78
Pires 90

Nurse!

1-2 Away win.

Houllier opens his eyes, watches a video of tonight's shambles and it dawns on him that playing two of your potentially most effective players in each other's positions is not the way to win games.

I'm almost at the point of not caring.  We need to "concentrate on the league".

I seriously considered adding that to the poll options.

If losing means putting the final nail in Houllier's coffin then I think I might just take that.

A defeat if Houllier is still in the job.

Draw or a win possible if he has been given the bullet.

I actually can't believe I'm saying this, but I want us to lose.  In that way the only thing to focus on is the battle against relegation.

Lose 2-0 and Houllier still won't be fired.

A loss, and possibly a blessing in disguise. We ain't set up for competing in cups this season. Survival is our only hope.

Micky Adams will have his boyhood team well up for this one. Our lack of fight and aimlessness at the moment means I wouldn't bat an eyelid if we lost. Actually, I'm envisaging something akin to our last FA Cup disaster up there under Doolally.
