PHILINFRANCE Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 26 minutes ago, Major Isewater said: Or Super Leeds at Elland Rd . The FA Cup draw was always made on the Monday lunchtime back in those days, and I can still recall the late Bill Shankly commenting on what a fantastic match there would be in the next round when his mighty Liverpool came to play Leeds. It was certainly a cracking match, but Leeds failed to turn up as they had been knocked out in the previous round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloyal473 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Only one way in my opinion: we just got for it from the off. Risky? Yes. But it's a knockout competition, we are not playing for a draw and cant afford to defend for our lives and hope to nick one. If we go out, lets go out with a bang. If we go through, lets go through with a bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think patients and brownhill will have a point to prove with them both being on man ure's books. Just hope we can create a good atmosphere all the way around the ground not just the south stand Not sure if the 234000 locked out of the ground will make themselves heard though.

Great cup run culminating in this one moneyspinning game but that is all it will be. looking forward to it but at the same time want it to be over as, whatever anyone says, it has been a big distraction from our one goal in our chase for a top 6 place. We dont need more games, more chances to pick up injuries and cards/suspensions or the players/manager/club/fans taking their eye off the ball. Im hoping we put up a good show but i dont want us to progress any further for all the right reasons. Agreed, a bit surprised you got 6 'rubbish' likeys' it is a bonus this game, but the bread and butter is the League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be playing eleven human beings not eleven footballing gods. As I've said previously if we approach this game in the same way that we have for every other game this season we have a chance of winning. We don't need to fear anyone . The pressure will be on Personchester . Let's give them a big West coun try welcome and send them home to concentrate on the League ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Jose will play a weakened team, but still a very good one. If he does not have it all his own way, he will bring our a few more of his stars in the second half. He wants to go to Wembley too. Zlatan will play as he needs match fitness and Flinty will find him a handful May need to wack his injury and slow him down. It is a game we can win, though a win is highly unlikely, but cup upsets ontinue to happen year after year, so here's hoping for another on the 20th and hope that they are having their Christmas bash on the 19th.
