bender Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Could have been worse. We should get at least a draw there. Clear favourites IMO.
colman1860 Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Pretty good draw, actually. Sunderland are beatable, and a lot of big teams will knock each other out, while small teams are guaranteed to move on to the last 8. This looks promising.
Wiggles31 Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Top 4 playing each other. Winnable tie for us. Bit dull though.
SNSUN Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Our record this season against them is XLX. Need to add a W to the end of that...
UpweySaint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Not happy, Sunderland always seem to drag out a result against us lately and a long away day for the fans. Oh well it is a decent chance to go through and more big guns likely to drop out!
InvictaSaint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 On the plus side , if we CAN beat them, one of Man C or Chelsea and one of Arsenal or Liverpool will go out, which can only be good :-)
Micky Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Awful tie, getting kicked out of both domestic cups by a side struggling to stay in the league. Sunderland have been a real pain in the arse for us this season. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk
Saint_Tony Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Poor draw, we've shown 3 times we're incapable of beating them
John Boy Saint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Thanks to work I have no home game to see at St Mary's in Feb!!
Saint Charlie Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Good draw. They are not great, are focused on the league primarily and if we win theres a good chance of another decent draw. Hope we go full strength for this.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Mopo has played Sunderland 4x in 12 months.... Never won D3 L1
stockportsaint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Great draw - we can beat them if we put out a decent team. With VW back in midfield we'll be less porous. More importantly two of city, arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool will go out by the 1/4 finals. I wonder how warm the balls were?
Chewy Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Could be better, but could be a lot worse. It's certainly winnable, and we owe them big time.
S-Clarke Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Pretty boring draw, but incredibly winnable. They are such a crap side, still confused as to how we've not beaten them as we're a gulf ahead. Good chance to get to the quarters.
SaintSteve Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 We will take them apart if we put out a full strength team..
Berkshire Saint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Bet we get Sunderland away. Should have put that bet on! Will probably give this one a miss.
Window Cleaner Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Look on the bright side, if you've got a week off you can do a Hull+Sunderland away double header with a few days in some northern wasteland in between, Cleethorpes or Harrogate or something.
saint si Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Hopefully players approach it as a chance to "right a wrong". Think we can win this.
adysaint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 lol ! Live in Newcastle and was screaming at Andros' Dad to pull us out. Reckon it will be first time I've ever been to a ground 3 times in a season.
nta786 Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Good draw. They are not great, are focused on the league primarily and if we win theres a good chance of another decent draw. Hope we go full strength for this. We've said this pretty much every time. They're our bogey team. Our draw may not have been the best, but generally it is all good for us because two of the big teams are going!
DuncanRG Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Oh ffs, bogey team. Get a full strength XI and let's make up for the spawny results they've got against us Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 lol ! Live in Newcastle and was screaming at the Andros' Dad to pull us out. Reckon it will be first time I've ever been to a ground 3 times in a season. Time to get a season ticket then.
View From The Top Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 It's a great chance for a QF place and it could have been an awful lot worse! I'm certainly going.
sydenhamssocks Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Should have finished them off in the first half last week. Will do them this time and get a home draw in the quarters !!!
Sour Mash Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Having booked up for the original League Cup date, then did the rearranged game, then had a nightmare on the train getting up there last week could do without yet another trek up there. However, it it winnable, we do owe them one and the draw means a lot of the bigger teams will be knocked out. Would imagine Sunderland will be focused on Wembley and relegation survival.
Leslie Charteris Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Now we are 12 points from a European place, surely it's time to give the cup a proper go, especially with this decent draw.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 28th Jan 2003 our last win over Sunderland James Beattie just after HT
paulwantsapint Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 So city v Chelsea Arsenal v Liverpool Who will be the other TV games?
Saint_John Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 sunderland have an away game in the league at man city on the wed night before (12th), they could be shell shocked after that.
Pastor Patrón Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 Might have to go to this. Pretty juicy tie
Batman Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 With some of the teams left. Good draw for us and for them I guess. Real chance for a 1/4 final spot
bender Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 (edited) We let them win in the league cup game. Surely they can return the favour. Besides, they've already got their Wembley day out. Also, none of their players will want to pick up injuries for that final 2 weeks after. Edited 26 January, 2014 by bender
goneawol Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 They have an extra fixture on the Wednesday before (Man City away).
scorchio21 Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 It's not that bad a draw. We showed how we can completely outplay them at theirs just last week, but obviously just need to sustain that over the whole match. The loss to them in the league cup is hardly comparable at all, we'll be taking this way more seriously for several reasons - bigger competition, we have very little in the league to play for, and they still have lots, plus the league cup final.
Griffo Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 My fourth trip to Sunderland in 9 months. How exciting.
