We are in total agreement here mate.I am not 'wingeing,' I expect effort and professionalism for 90, not 45 minutes. Like 'Blessed are the Cheesemakers,' it's not meant to be taken literally.

Because we are challenging for a title and because we have a manger with the ambition of winning the CL.I don't understand why we wouldn't take it seriously. Realistically its our best chance at winning something. Beggars can't be choosers.

I believe we had the team out there to win the tie. And the first half showed that. Therefore I’ve no issue with the manager. I’ve issue with the players who looked like they couldn’t be bothered in the second half. I also have issue with fans that also can’t be bothered when we lose to our rivals in a cup competition after being so comfortably ahead, when we’ve not won a cup in years."Not take seriously" they all rotated their squads.
Both teams rotate their squads and play in front of a half empty stadiums. The winner (there can only be one) means they take it seriously, the loser dosen't take it seriously. That's how it works, right?

When we last won the league cup, I was overjoyed for days and honestly couldn’t remember the position we finished in the league, if it hadn’t been pointed out 412 tines in this thread. I just remember the joy of the winning goal and the cup being lifted.
But yet again, our players, who all “want to win trophies”, turned in an amateur performance last night as they seem to see a trophy as being below them, as they want the title. No gateway drug for our boys, just straight onto the smack.
And our fans, who aren’t bothered about us being out, would be the same ones whining if we got to the final because all the tickets were going to corporate sorts and the real fans can’t go.
I’m all for putting on a brave face and giving it “well, I didn’t want to go through anyway” in front of other people, but not on here. We lost the chance of a cup, to West Ham. That’s always a horror story in my book.
What the fuck has that got to do with your post about taking it seriously, when every single club in this competition hasn't taken it seriously? The clubs that got through their rounds rotated their squads, some more than us.I believe we had the team out there to win the tie. And the first half showed that.

Yeah me too and no matter how many of our fans deny it. They can't take away the facts. It just keeps happening. Getting tiresome now.I agree with most of this to be fair. I now see it as yet another trophyless season. Lets be honest we don't stand a chance in the latter stages of the CL against teams like Real or PSG. Far to strong for us. In the prem Man City look unstoppable right now and Man Utd despite their recently blip don't look far behind. I fear Poch needs to target the F.A cup now if he doesn't. Potless again!!! I'm sick of West Ham getting one over on us!
Imagine if Poch just come out and said what your are saying now!I understand that. But as I said realistically.
We won't win the league nor champions league.

We do have a serious chance, where they fuck have you been the past two years?
Sick of West ham getting one over us!! What!?! They have beaten us 9 times in the past 20yrs!!I agree with most of this to be fair. I now see it as yet another trophyless season.

Oh, the irony

Lets fucking pack it all in. Give 3 points to Utd next week. Fucking hell so small time, tin pot attitude. Again thank fuck we have a manger that thinks we can beat those clubs, like eermmm we have done for the past few seasons. Christ on a bike.
You stick to your side of the bed mate. See ya.No how about we become realistic instead
Your seasons done then mate. Best take up bowls, knock yourself out.I understand that. But as I said realistically.
