FA Cup draw

[Dave]

to win the FA Cup would mean that we have done something extrordinary like beating Citeh up there, how good would that feel?

Pretty good but hardly extraordinary. They're not Holland '74

Probably that time when Maloney scored a free kick. Four years ago maybe?

The season City broke the record for least goals scored by a home team in the Prem.  10. Still, I was there and enjoyed every moment.

That amazing, never-to-be-forgotten moment when Aston Villa beat Manchester City. Crikey.

I won't.  The FA Cup is there to win every year and luck (something which usually eludes us) plays a very big in the draw.  We will win it someday eventually.

The Championship is not a easy place to get out of.  If we can't get ourself promoted in the 1st season...I can't imagine the aftermath.

Let's just say for arguments sake that we did win the F.A Cup and got relegated. Would Houiller get the sack or would he keep his job for winning us the Cup?

Houllier should be given at least another season to get the team as he wants it - anyone who thinks we are not good enough to get out of the championship I find amazing, I still think we can finish top 10 this season but I'd willingly sacrifice the premiership to win the fa cup.

Teams get relegated because they're crap they then tend to lose their best players. If we're so shit that we get relegated and Wigan or Wolves survive then you are barmy to think that promotion would be a formality.

I think it's all academic as I don't for a second think we'll get relegated but to just dismiss it as a minor inconvenience and a price worth paying is extremely naive.

If we were relegated it would be as much down to mr o neill as anything else and a complete set of extreme bad fortune , ie , manager walking out in the week of a new season, failure to get a replacement before the window ended, and a huge injury crisis rather than being shit as you put it, chris, although I'm sure you rather that than accept o neill would carry a lot of the blame.

I also do not think we will go down but I'm confident if we did that we would bounce straight back .

Relegation is simply not an option

[eastie]

More likely to finish in the top 10 than be relegated and let's hope we can finish top 10 and win the cup as well- city are getting games thick and fast and even without bent we must go there and fancy our chances.

We need a win tomorrow to build confidence and some momentum
