I doubt we will shift 4,000 tickets for a midweek away on the telly. You won't need to buy in the home end.

Why is a 5th round tie being played midweek? Ridiculous.

Does anybody believe we're going to beat Man City?

Not a fucking chance, i'm sorry.

Agreed. Under Houllier we are a disorganised rabble, and it's inevitable that we'll lose this one.

Tripe.

We've improved since the New Year and have only lost 1 in 8 including a win against Man City and a draw at Chelsea. They've favourites but to claim it is inevitable is just lilly livered defeatism of the worst kind.

I always tend to go on performances rathen than results and I've seen no real improvement.
We're still extremely vunerable defensively and Houllier is unable to make the most of our attacking options.

As for lily livered defeatism, I don't think so. I've been following this club for long enough to trust my instincts for certain matches.

Best I can see us getting is a replay, I hate Eastlands.

When would the replay be, FA cup 6th round weekend?

Just got my ticket. I don't feel at all confident about this one, but stranger things have happened. And if we win, we've got a winnable 6th round tie. Perhaps the Man City game will be the one that transforms our season...

I have.

We are much better defensively in open play although we do still have a weakness from set pieces. We have scored in each of our last 8 games.

It's still not brilliant but it is a clear improvement on what went before.

Chris.
A clean sheet from us is as rare as rocking horse shit, whilst I agree there is not too much wrong with the rest of our play, whilst we're leaking goals at the back, we'll always struggle.

A clean sheet would go a long way to holding Man City, but I just can't see it.
Two goal head starts for a lot of rivals seems par for the course.

Why is our goals against column so poor then?
One clean sheet in the last TWENTY games.

They had a better squad than us 3 weeks ago too and we won. Arsenal are better than Orient. Just because they should win doesn't mean that they will.
We'll see.

We need to dig in and show some fight, which is where it falls down for me.

I hope i'm wrong.
Like when it fell down when they came to VP? Its football there are 2 teams, its all on the day.

But you never know.
