Now Chelsea are in the SFs this competition is done.

They wont be beaten over a two leg SF and the Final will be taken very seriously by Mourinho.

He's targeting all four trophies, no question.

they dont have lampard tho

"Nigel Clough has been in charge of 18 cup games as Sheffield United manager. He's only lost two of them. Dad would be proud."


utterly phenomenal for a league 1 side.

Is that possible without winning 2 cups?

Unless they had a lot of replays?

I am in no doubt that Saints will pluck the next Gareth Bale from their youth squad to slot into midfield and he'll snot us all over the show and be at Arsenal within the year.

...nailed on.

Everton, aren't we?

Southampton can still field this XI against us:

---------------------Forster----------------

Clyne-----Alderweireld--Fonte----Bertrand

Ward Prowse-------Tadic-----------Davis

Long----------------Pelle------------Mane

Although Davis is also a doubt, too. That's a decent enough XI if we don't apply ourselves properly.

Might include the paint trophy and extra times and stuff.

Without actually winning a cup that is about as useful as being the best team in a calendar year without actually winning the league. I'm sure we did that a couple of times under Moyes.

Would love Sheffield United to win the cup from here.

@red1 your thoughts on your impending match at Anfield?. This is another game causing me a betting head ache

their fans only bright light at the moment is that this young fella Reed (who they seem to rate) will get a start against us...is he the next Bale?

we would rape the spine out of them if they were naive to try and outscore us - yeah, i don't believe that either

That's literally the only XI they can put out with senior players if they stick with their favoured 4-3-3 formation. Anything else would require them using youth prospects. So it looks like they are going to be forced into being naive by default.

That traore kid that just came off the bench for Barca looks good! Bobby should work his Catalan charm and get him in on loan in January

. A lot of doom and gloom over on Soton forum. They are fearing their Everton result. It reminds me of the mood on the Sunderland forum prior to their boxing day game vs us last season.....

I almost want the RS to win tomorrow in the hope they will get a 2 leg SF against Chelsea, would be absolute bliss to watch.

Equally going out of the CL, humiliated by united, out of the LC, loosing to arsenal is just way too good to pass up haha

We're not going to win period. The game has all the signs of a Wenger big game away bottle job. It would be an incredible surprise to me if we win.
