I aint getting all this Poch hate. It was the rumbalows/milk/capital one cup for fucks sake. It`s a second rate competition which big clubs famously use to rotate there squad and give some game time to squad players. (we are a big club, aren`t we). If we`d put our strongest team out against the filths second string then what would that be saying. It would be like admitting it was our cup final. We gave Woolwich the respect they deserve,. i.e none....We lost, but we lost probably the most unimportant match we could ever play against them. Whats more worrying to me is that so many of you consider last nights squabble more important than the upcoming match against Man City. That just shows how much the club, and our expectations have fallen over the last 3 or 4 years. We probably wont beat City either, but this is damn well the sort of game a club of our standing should be targeting as the big one. Not some minor 3rd round cup match, albeit against our local rivals. Fuck Woolwich, fuck their meaningless little victory last night, and fuck Daniel Levy for lowering our expectations so much that chasing the champions league positions is no longer considered a viable and ultimate target.
edit. I think I put this in the wrong thread. It should probalby be moved to the Woolwich match thread.
IT WAS AGAINST WOOLWICH FOR FUCK SAKE. I don't care what round of what competition it's in, this game is bigger than anything else.
If you think a game against Man City is more important than last night, support someone else.
