Of course we CAN win it, will we win it is a totally different question ;)

You probably don't want me to give my thoughts on that since I'm one of the biggest football pessimists in existence!!

Oh no! Don`t get me going again! You lot had just put my mind at rest a week or so ago! General consensus was that we will win! I have a horrible feeling again now about the semi!!!!!! Oh woe, woe and thrice woe!!!!

Good lord people! No negative vibes. Snap out of it. It will be a fight and it'll be a miracle if any of us have hair or fingernails left by the end. But we will win. I refuse to contemplate anything else(got enough stress from other things already ;-)). Bobby wants this, the players who were at Wembley the last 2 years want it, and between them they'll instill the desire in the other players. We've been breaking jinxes all season, this will be our own triple(tunnel end, London team, in London). HOWAY THE LADS!! :-)

Our record at Wembley is dismal, but our record in Semi Finals is excellent. We will win the semi (like we always do) and we'll win the final (for a change).
This year our name's on the cup. It's one of those things. We've all looked at the QF draw in the past and said, mmm I think it's thingys year this year and it is. Well think about it, that's right it's woryear
who's year
wor f****** year
so enough of these negative vibes I've het a web site to do.

How's about a different approach, let's NOT play any of the players from the last two trips to Wembley, I'm not sure I could cope with that level of commitment a third time. Mind you, it'll be an odd looking side:

Karelse
Barton Helder Goma Hughes
Gavilan Dyer Fumaca Glass
Gallacher Coppinger

Let the rest of them see how it's supposed to be done. Of course, technically, you could say that none of the b*ggers have played at Wembley yet and pick anyone you like.

We have NEVER lost an FA Cup game when I have been there and we ain't about to start! ;-)

PS How did I know Dougal had started this thread before I even opened it?!

whats brought this on? last weekends results? if so can I point out that we lost to a late goal by l'pool away from home whilst Chelsea,at home only got a draw because of a bizarre own goal by the opposition--are we supposed to be in fear and trepidation because of that? of course the semi will be a tough game,but I think we want it MORE!!! we need to go to wembley in the sure and certain knowledge that if we play as well as we can.we will win it! RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We don't lose semi finals.

And if anyone needs stats or patterns...take a look at our last 6 games....win 2 in a row, then lose 1. We just lost to Liverpool, therefore our next 2 games will be wins. What are our next 2 games?
Bradford and Chewsee. Easy. Unfortunately this does not bode well for WHam..but I'm still going to be hoarse and delirious from Sunday so i won't care. :-D
