Dazzler 11361 Posted Friday at 12:02 Share Posted Friday at 12:02 In a weird way I think I'll enjoy the final versus Liverpool more than I would have against Spurs. The likelihood is that we'll probably lose the game (at least the part of my brain in charge of rational thinking tells me this) so I won't be heading into it nervous or anything. There is only upside if we prove me wrong and we win. A final against Spurs I'd have had higher expectations considering they are usually bottle jobs the same as us and Howe seemingly has the measure of Ange - so I would have been insanely nervous heading into that final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens we can be sure that there will be a good half hour in the studio followed by 90+ minutes of commentators trying to determine the greater great; Liverpool F.C. or Mohamed Salah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 8213 Posted Friday at 12:31 Share Posted Friday at 12:31 1 hour ago, Renton said: Well, we can just agree to disagree I think. There has to be some objective scientific reason to explain both winning and losing streaks beyond chance, if you use standard statistical paradigms (both frequentist but especially Bayesian). What bugs me is people saying I'm being negative. I'm not, I'm being rationale, objective. Doesn't make me less of a supporter. We can win, but its patently not true to say our legacy does not impact us and impact those probabilities - or Liverpool for that matter - now, and utter horse plop for anyone claiming Liverpool is a better draw for us than Spurs. IMO. It's obviously not a better draw, but if we win it's a better win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 35718 Posted Friday at 12:44 Author Share Posted Friday at 12:44 (edited) I think we've a chance of getting rid of a few ghosts and hangovers, but, and it's a big but, we need to not have any freak injuries or suspended players, I mean playing a bloke in a final who hadn't played for three years whatever it was while our back up keeper was on the other sides bench was peak NUFC at Wembley luck! However I get the feeling we'll be a bit more professional this time, hard game, they're used to winning cup finals, we're not but they're also used to swatting us aside, might be a surprise if end up not being that team on the day. What could ultimately fuck us if we perform, apart from bad ref decisions, is not beating them in 90 mins, they've just too much squad wise for 120 mins plus whereas we just haven't and a penalty shootout isn't going to be our friend if it got that far, 90 mins win or we're fucked but I think we can do it, I can see us being paggered before the thirteen minutes injury time if we're winning as well.

Dr Gloom 23315 Posted Friday at 12:52 Share Posted Friday at 12:52 Our lads might want it more than their theirs. They should still be fighting on three or four fronts and might expect to be able to turn up and beat us. I just hope we attack the final like we did against arsenal on Wednesday 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 48907 Posted Friday at 12:57 Share Posted Friday at 12:57 We could do with Arsenal getting within 3 points of them by the time the cup final comes along. Give them something in the back of their heads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 429 Posted Friday at 22:39 Share Posted Friday at 22:39 Easier for the officials to show bias towards the "big 6" when they don't have to try to use VAR to rule out obvious mistakes like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not have VAR where it’s available? hahaha, in reference to your subtle admonishment of my swearing in first post... Agreed, i don't understand the objection to var just because it may not be available to all fixtures - if it's available a given location, then same for both teams and not affecting other fixtures. I do understand the call to scrap it entirely, but decisions like that idiot's, tonight, make that increasingly unlikely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14533 Posted Saturday at 10:48 Share Posted Saturday at 10:48 VAR has its own massive issues but if we don’t have it, the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool etc get those offsides go their way all the time IMO. They still get the benefit with the tight ones but that was criminal last night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
