Saint Pete Posted 9 January, 2022 Share Posted 9 January, 2022 Recently, we often seem to get Prem opponents that we are about to play in the league in cup draws. So I predict we'll get Spurs away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect it will be Crystal Palace Same, progress in the cup is always good but more fun if we get to combine with an away day somewhere we've not been before or at least not one of the usual grounds. We've got Spurs and Man Utd away that week already probably get one of those. Away day to Kidderminster, Borehamwood or Cambridge would be my preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWar Posted 9 January, 2022 Share Posted 9 January, 2022 (edited) 11 minutes ago, JRM said: Would you take winning the cup and relegation? Definitely not under Gao, I think relegation could have been the death of our club as a top flight entity for decades under him as I'm not convinced with a "sell to buy" policy we would have found it easy at all to get promoted again. He probably would have cashed out to any old chancer too, not the sort of investor who looks at premier league level teams. With new owners, still probably not, I think if we stay a prem side for long enough we will eventually win a cup, but if we go down to the championship and don't come back up again pronto then our quality will drop dramatically, and we will never be able to seriously compete again. Also the standard of football would drop dramatically. Having said that, if we did bounce back after a year or two it would be worth it for the feeling on the day.

Lee On Solent Saint Posted 9 January, 2022 Share Posted 9 January, 2022 I fully expect Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea to get ridiculously easy games until the quarter finals, when they come up against a team like us or Brighton. A home draw against any championship side will do for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 9 January, 2022 Share Posted 9 January, 2022 25 minutes ago, JRM said: Would you take winning the cup and relegation? Depends on what 'type' of relegation you mean. The type where we spend up to, say, 5 years in the lower leagues but bounce back to the PL in relatively quick succession, or the sort of relegation whereby we become a fixture in the lower leagues and never return to the PL?
