On the contrary, the risk of becoming a 'laughing stock' is brought about by a home draw against a lower league team. If we'd drawn one of the Mancs, or Chelsea for example, and lost, we'd just be out of the cup, but not a laughing stock (unless we lost by a cricket score). If we balls it up...
Absolutely - I'm just praying now that we don't f**k it up and become the season's laughing stock. Shame all the Big 4 in the draw look like being half of the quarter finalists - still, with luck they could start knocking each other out in the quarters.
Will we allow JMD to play?
Then Man.Utd.1983 final revenge, perhaps?
Followed in the semi-final at Wembley by obliterating Notts County to wipe the memory of the 1991 play-off final.
After that I'll be beyond worrying about anything!
