No home crowd to get behind us either so no home advantage. We'd just have to sit at home and feel the pain as the goals went in.
I've enjoyed watching Forest in cup games even when getting beat, the uncomfortable game was the Burton Albion loss
Good things tend to come from good cup runs, ultimately, every clubs fortunes has a turning point, even a loss can be inspiring
Seriously a chance to beat Man City, at home, on the telly, i love the FA Cup, i mean look at Leeds, score alot concede alot, i like that sort of thing, i don't buy into the avoid a drubbing at all costs philosophy, i think it's pure fallacy, though edging a game or a 1 nil smash and grab also, what's not to like?

Assuming there is enough about us to stay up its the only thing we have to play for. Swansea have bigger things on their mind and we get to play Man City reserves in the 5th.
Remind me the last time we made the quarter finals of any competition?
Not just you. I feel exactly the same. What else is there this season?

No thanks, thats nothing for me to look forward to. Hate it when we draw top sides.
By that logic I assume you never want to get promoted then?
If we got promoted im working on the basis that we'd be half decent at least, but honestly speaking, and ive said it on here before, the prospect of getting into the prem just to get beaten every week doesn't get my juices flowing at all. Ask Fulham, West Brom or Sheff Utd fans if they're enjoying watching their teams get thumped every week.
I suppose im just completely turned off by the modern inequalities in football, that's all.
No reason if we can somehow start getting things right, that we can compete

You forgot Arsenal at home in 2018 then Pap?

Probably worth pointing out that City played most of their first team in round 3, dont think they rotate too much. Despite Pep moaning that he can't use five subs

This so much.
However I would say it would probably be better to get spanked every week in the prem rather than in the championship like we currently are!
Also, a promotion would sort our finances for a few years so we'd have a much better season the following year (assuming they haven't ditched parachute payments by then)

Yeah we do. I think we can win that game if CH is committed enough to the cause.

Presumably a welsh commentary biased in support of them? Might be painful to listen to.
