Don't think you can be realistic about an fa cup tie, who would of thought Wigan would be fa cup holders today? If you turn up with the correct attitude for the game then you score goals. There is nothing wrong with believing that a team with a good home form and massive underdogs can't pull it off..

Also agreed, a lot of football fans will always back their team to win no matter who they're playing, but realistically today, there's no reason why we should win against a team 2 levels higher in excellent form, we can win, but it'll take a top performance all round for that to happen, would be absolutely fantastic if we did and we've scored a few early goals this season, one today would be superbBob's Bitch wrote:I didn't realise that it was negative to suggest that the Step 3 side that's in good form will beat the Step 5 side?
