......and Smith must score. 1,359 Posted January 8 Can’t we just withdraw and give the replay to the Gasmen ? It’ll be a good day out for them and we’ll avoid getting humiliated by their Academy kids. Win-win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellowrider120 782 Posted January 8 3 minutes ago, GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary said: F uck that....throw the replay I'd rather we have a 2 week break than go up there to get hanmered by those c#nts Don't entirely disagree! Seen us at Anfield once, early on in the Worthy season and in true fashion we basically stood around and watched as they walked to a 3-0 win in a sterile atmosphere. No reason to expect any different if we beat Rovers. Sure we made more of an effort two seasons ago but although the score line looked close (2-1) the result was never in any doubt. This time around it could be seriously embarrassing. Might save myself that horrendous train journey (if there are any trains that is) and the almost hour long yomp from Lime Street (and back again!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
